we're definitely talking past each other at some point here (i didn't propose a defense of "it's generated by AI" for example) - i've worked for a company which acquired its art content from a foreign outsourci

we aren't talking about "copyright litigation today", we're hypothesising about how deeply disrupted the current arrangement could be by ai content generation in particular, the argument that "ai generated works is

these results are so impressive that rather than constraining the technology copyrighting may be exactly what ends up being disrupted for non-photorealistic work, or if it becomes virtually indistinguishable from photography, how would you

sure, stock photography may just disappear as a business model. while SD is freely downloadable, it isn't energetically free to run inference, so for example (and as an off the cuff speculation), opportunities could arise to provide ex

you're not wrong about this and much of the negative sentiment directed at web3 comes from establishment players of one form or another opposed to being disrupted. it's also clownish to expect bitcoin/crypto/web3 to have

you act as if everything about web3 has to be solved right from the starting gun to have any legitimacy :) there are many different competing consensus mechanism and the balance of trade-offs is still playing out.

which is due to the centralised framework which incentivises the web now.

and this gets at what's really threatening about web3: it's an inherently libertarian technology and authoritarians on both the left and right of the cultural/political spectrum are terrified by that.

it's not a total failure if something was learnt in the process. web3 proposes radically restructuring the web and possibly the economy more broadly, it shouldn't surprise us if it isn't done right immediately.

do you think anti-cheating is ultimately solvable? it seems likely to me that eventually bots just take in a video stream, running on an otherwise separate device. what happens to gaming then?

the risk is that a transaction you've accepted gets invalidated by a competing spend of its inputs in a chain coming out of a different "network zone" so you wait for more block confirmations
