In his video essay "Suno, AI Music, and the Bad Future", bassist Adam Neely quotes Mikey Schulman, co-founder of Suno, an "AI" music-generation app, who defines his values as "Music, Impatience, Aesthetics, and Fun". After offering "Patience" as one alternative, Neely links Schulman's statements to the Italian Futurists and their embrace of Italian Fascism as explicit predecessors of Silicon Valley investors like Marc Andreesen, who present "AI" as inevitable. Following sociologist Tressie McMillan Cottom, Neely calls for "refusal". He concludes with four alternative values, "Service (or Community), Patience, Craft, and Beauty", with live music as a means of such refusal. Neely's video reinforces my position as a conscientious objector to AI. (Andrew Shields, #111words, 5 February 2026)
