On Consent Bodily =/= State sanctioned monopoly
Noooooooo, I hate this catechism. I agree with this Mr Reach, Even that Libertarian KingZulu.
Mrs. Reach / Mrs. Curio @reachart…1d
I am very sick and tired of people bringing up “consent” as a reason for why transformative works should be disallowed. Yes, even when the transformative works involve lots of complicated machine statistics. Firstly, consent is for sex and risky activities, not “am I allowed to use bits of your work?”
This absurd watering down of consent from “a thing that determines whether or not you were sexually assaulted” to “you asked permission of the IP owner if you could so graciously use a crumb of Mickey Mouse” is not only stupid—it’s also extremely offensive, and I don’t understand how it became popular.
But furthermore: I can promise you that you don’t actually want to live in the world where you need someone’s permission to transform their works, because that’s actually more restrictive than our current world—which, thank god, has the fair use doctrine + transformative works as a legal category.
This is the world in which jungle, D&B, vaporwave, just large swathes of the techno and EDM and IDM landscape don’t exist, the world in which huge swathes of rap are eliminated, the world in which you can no longer create parodies of people, the world in which Disney makes even fewer gay people.
This is the world in which you can no longer create collages. This is the world in which open source and copyleft stop being meaningful regimes, including my best friend Creative Commons Zero. This is a world with no found art—did you ask that slavev1l’s creative owner for permission to photo it?
And this asinine demand for “compensation” also ticks me off because it insists that you are allowed to—nay, entitled to—create something once and then live fat off the residuals forever. That is a nice pipe dream! However, I’m going somewhere without currency, so maybe catch up. THIS IS ALSO BAD.
It would be lovely if everyone had enough money to go around—or enough resources, in a moneyless world. This is a great aspirational thing. But what happens in a world where any copyright owner gets to landlord off their ideas forever is the world where the thousand-year Disney Reich exists forever.
It’s the same anti-art mindset that lets the RIAA say: “Well, you downloaded an album illegally, thus denying us six million dollars of hypothetical future profit that we are owed. So we are putting you in jail forever.” If you think this is a leftist idea somehow, I have a bridge to sell you.
This is the same idea that killed Aaron Swartz. This is the same idea that imprisoned Gary Bowser effectively in indentured servitude for life. This is the idea that killed so many comic artists because their ideas are treated as property to be bought, sold, and landlord-ized. It is lethal.
It is lethal carceral reactionary bullshit that relies on impossible mechanisms to embrace in the first place, and so you will, thankfully, NEVER get the world you want.
Prove my providence now bitch, it’s a VHS recording of my screen displaying your post in HD while Ronald Reagan is cut up talking.
God, I hate you all so much.

And I’m so happy that copyright will inevitably lose, just by how information theory works.
Okay, it looks like—now refreshing my page for notifications—there’s a nonzero chance I am about to become a main character, so I’m going to take this opportunity to shill my games that you should play.

The irrational designe, programmer polemic
Such as the way of the rational decision, and such as the system and the things of programming parameters, ways of computation, and function to understand the process, from and away Stephen Pinker and others.
Yet, with such things that help us do things like A/B tests and other stuff to help bring and build a structure into our lives, and that structure is our rules, and from the day on to that, we understand that we must limit ourselves.
The quirks, positives, and negatives from that can be seen in the structure. It is what that bedraggled wretch happens to go through.
This is the complicated tech criticism that we have to unwind: that even from the first principles we happen to go through, that way will be the last. Maybe it is just such a way that is all one needs. And to that, not of copyrights, but of all the systems that come from our technologies, good and bad.
Pretty good. Help us transition from media to techHenry Farrell described it better. Four stars.

Beep-boop Fraudulent?
Political cartoonists exist, and they love to play the game of using clichés and false depictions of images.

Holding on
A 50-year copyright reduction stops the human commodity value. LLM training, fair use, and into the public domain.
Reject the ownership of anarcho-capitalism. Oxymoron. Calling llms Plagiarism machine is also an Oxymoron.
Independent artists seeking alternative means of monetization. That isn't contingent on social media attention/clout economy. Scarcity in that leads into audience capture.
Decentralization of antitrust, labor protections. America won't learn that.
Focus on human autonomy and its many iterations of many valences. Of Bounded pluralism.
Etherium and Tez are proof of stake and do not hurt the environment, and can be done in hypebeast rugpull manner.
Honest metrology that isn't the base rate fallacy.
This is a mandate.
This will be held in 2028-9 till I think.
