Reading your comment, I was certain I remembered it - and I see that you've now added a link to its previous home. So I just wanted to say: it was an impactful piece of writing, enough so that I remembered it quite clearly after a sing

So much of this thread is concerned not with the achievement of this data set, but with the (by comparison) silly and outdated spat over how to frame it as "property" for the purposes of government intervention (pursuant to which

That's more than a slight nitpick - it corrects a core misunderstanding to be found everywhere this discussion seems to be happening. To wit: AI articles are to be found along a dramatic spectrum of quality. If such an article is high

Haha, yeah. But the story I tell is of the evolution of the tradition we have come to denote with words like "Americana" and "Appalachian traditional" into a crypto-anarchist sentiment, from Carter Family -=> Bill Mon

If anything, a technology demonstrating its capacity to continue to function normally in the face of illicit use cases is an indication of its viability for inclusion in the next human chapter. If you tell us that a technology seems to prec

Well, I do distribute via some centralized platforms (including some odious ones like Spotify). But I'd like to put forward a practice that demonstrates that the tools that have been smeared as anti-artist (chiefly but not only bittorr

Sure, but I'd like to go beyond magnet links and make it properly decentralized, with the discovery happening in the DHT and torrent swarm.

No I hadn't! This seems exciting. Have you done it successfully?

Most of the things that seem like good ideas for KYC, such as DMCA claims, are better to be rendered nonexistent in the first place.

Interesting. I want to seamlessly distribute my music through bittorrent, but since I have a small fan base (and thus, a very small potential seeding pool), I found it difficult to connect all the moving parts. I'll give Bitmagnet a tr

There's nothing borderline about it. It's a barrier to creativity, designed to protect a particular model of music industrialization, and is not widely viewed as helpful as far as I can tell (and I discuss this matter with colleag

Interesting question. If you get into a cab, and the driver is clearly drunk or exhibits violent behavior on the road, surely you have some responsibility to terminate your ride. So if you get into a Tesla with it's wink-wink-nudge-nud

I don't love this model. It feels so censorable and state-adjacent. All states need to do is convince whoever controls the satellites to accept their terms. It's such a small number of points of failure. The mesh model, where e

At the risk of hyperbole: It seems that, as AI becomes the prevalent model for human-computer interaction, requirements like this are not merely stifling to AI (and to the speech, press, and even religious protections that may arise from su
