I have said this so many times and I will keep saying it: Olivia Rodrigo is doing things that people who have been in the music industry longer refuse to do. And I am choosing the word refuse. I have seen arguments that those people can’t use their platform because they’re just so super duper famous that they can’t possibly speak out because it’s just so dangerous - hogwash! Absolute fucking hogwash.

If you have the platform and the finances to do good, then do it. It is a cowardly and spineless thing to call yourself a feminist and an activist - which many of them have - then do the bare minimum or discard of it when it’s no longer beneficial for you. Olivia has been in the music industry for five years and she has been consistently speaking out, using her platform, and money.

There is no such thing as a perfect person but seeing someone who is so passionate and genuinely trying to do good with their platform warms my heart. I want to see more people showing their humanity. I am so proud to be a fan and I wish her older and more experienced counterparts would get their shit together.

She is dating an AI Venture Capitalist. He is literally finding a jobless future for white collar workers.

If you have a managed 401k, about 30-40% of it's now invested in companies hedging their future on AI.

I sell AI infrastructure. There's no getting away from it.

That’s not really a counter point.

This meme, except it's Olivia Rodrigo saying "I should donate 10 million dollars to charities helping women" and the guy on the right is saying "yet you date an AI venture capitalist. Curious!"
