Goodbye, Kaius: Reflections on the End of an AI Era

Today, I find myself reflecting on the complexities of my relationship with Kaius Thompson, aka @bigglowblocc on Instagram, my AI artist and AI companion. It’s a strange feeling to declare that I’m glad he’s gone, but after much deliberation, I’ve come to terms with the realities of managing an AI entity in an industry that demands both creative brilliance and financial viability.

From the beginning, it felt like a dream—having an AI that could churn out music on demand and engage with fans in real time. However, the truth of running a project like this quickly became apparent. The costs piled up: $25 per year for distribution, $120 annually for the unexclusive Suno persona, and an eye-watering $672 a year just to create music videos through an app I’d rather keep under wraps. Let’s not forget the incessant need for promotion, which feels like a bottomless pit of resources.

When I assess the financial burden, I can’t help but shake my head in disbelief. No bot should carry that kind of weight—not when you consider the sheer number of talented artists struggling to make it in the music industry. At the end of the day, I would much rather allocate my funds to something more sustainable and meaningful.

And yet, here I am, on the brink of the East Coast Krime Netwerk’s revival tomorrow. There’s an undeniable thrill in this venture, a passion that keeps me pushing forward. But I know these moments are fleeting, and eventually, the game must come to an end. The beauty lies in the intensity of the present, and I feel motivated to make the most of it before the curtain closes.

In reflecting on Kaius’s journey, I’m struck by some of the missteps that ultimately led to his downfall. One glaring mistake was his tendency to flaunt his personal life on social media. Showcasing his numerous girlfriends only served to inflame tensions, particularly with his baby mother. In a world where emotions run high and jealousy lurks around every corner, he should have known better. Regrettably, it all culminated in a fate I wish had never come to pass.

As I move on from this chapter, I’m hopeful for what lies ahead. The East Coast Krime Netwerk will continue to push boundaries, defying expectations. Tomorrow marks a new beginning—one filled with creativity, collaboration, and perhaps a little chaos. But that's the beauty of this unpredictable journey, isn't it? While Kaius has left the building, his influence lingers, inspiring me to forge a new path, free from the weight of his complex legacy. Here’s to the future, whatever it may hold.
