Thanks for that resource. On doing a bit of digging, it seems that Elster's more recent `Ulysses Unbound` expands on the themes of `Ulysses and the Sirens` and might be a better first read. Are you familiar with it?

My understanding is that creative work pays little unless your work is very popular. See for example the distribution of royalties for music streaming or for authors of books. Given this low likelihood of monetary gain it seems unlikely the

An AI "student" which can be used to infinitely scale production of derivative works can easily be used to create works that are copyright violations. It can also be used to create works that are probably not copyright violations

The Seth Green NFT theft was a malicious hack. It could just as well have been targeting his bank account. I think it’s a disservice to the process of calling out scams like rug pulls to categorize that incident as a cryptocurrency scam. Th
