I thought that already happened."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Variety is reporting it's their first-ever number one on the albums chart, twenty years after release."},{"host":"Laura","text":"That album ran my high school years. I can still hear the opening piano."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"It's not just nostalgia, though. A reissue and some limited vinyl sent it back up."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Sent it back up? More like fans finally got the chart rules to count what we've been streaming for years."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Or, allegedly, the fan army bought four copies each in different colors. That's not the same as a new hit."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Come on, every artist does that now. You're just mad emo kids get a W."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"I'm not mad. I'm questioning whether a two-decade-old record topping the chart says anything about music right now."},{"host":"Laura","text":"It says the record's better than whatever the industry tried to push this week. That's something."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Fair, but I'll take a new band getting that slot over a nostalgia loop."},{"host":"Laura","text":"You say that until it's your favorite old album."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Different corner of the internet — MrBeast claimed on X that he hired over a hundred artists to hand-draw 140,000 frames for his show."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"That's a big swing. What's the show?"},{"host":"Laura","text":"It's his animated series MrBeast Lab. Some reports put the cost at seven million dollars."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"The confirmed part: he released short MrBeast Lab episodes and said he hired many artists, as practice for a longer series. The specific numbers — a hundred artists, 140,000 frames, seven million — those aren't independently confirmed."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Unverified, sure. But if it's true, that's a creator paying artists instead of using AI. That should be good."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Unless the hand-drawn work feeds an AI model. One reply put it bluntly: \"using artists to create AI slop is next level evil.\""},{"host":"Laura","text":"That's a leap. Paying artists is the opposite of replacing them."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"The worry is that artists get used as training data without a real deal. We don't know that here."},{"host":"Laura","text":"If the money went to a hundred human artists, that part's a win, whatever the show is."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"I'd like to see the names in the credits."}]}
