Diffusion model ethics to Broad brush

I investigate into the lands of the beep boops.

Previously on Couch Gregor's ai editorals. Since I'm dissatisfied with all the editorials, I made my own.

Looking at the coco workflow, there's the usage of noding and shaders here like it's used within blender, with 3d models.

Huh, according to the questionable lawsuits there n has been ethical questions in regard to this, I've had to check what this will do for independents.

Looks like it will have to relax and into noding, with minimal text-to-prompt speech, I'm afraid such a matter will move towards no copyright infringement. The environmental concerns along with the labour is another matter.

I can still see some inconsistency here and there, i think it will.

The only answer to this will be to do another art piece.

Since copyright licensing laws aren't going to stop this ( Disney has been developing its out diffusion models for to replace to concept artists.. ) Such a matter that copyright infringement it out of existence, it's going move into ethical questions with regard to its use and not contingent on commercial publishing and industry.

Licensing politics! Yeesh. Have they slapped me with a copyright infringement from drawing an Aggron as a pin-up, perish the thought. I'm merely a content producer to them anyhow.

This book is on my audiobook list in terms of essays. So many coming out these days. Got the audiobook.

 With the rise of deepfakes will continue to occur, along with the 

The age of scepticism is going to get more muddy. Herschel Gordon Lewis had a point with direct response rates

Disinformation campaign first, funding latter.

Going to have to boost this as such tech evolves, Fox Key did make a post that this will continue since films are the most labour-intensive and expensive forms that we take for granted. Including videogames, and such a licensing that will only move it underground, along with managing.

I'm not sure if we can out-license of with this will combine to some odd concoctions, I don't like this I.P loving people, (Even though I can imagine a system of resource redistribution not contingent on it, merely like how qualitative differences between a restaurant and a soup kitchen works. Does that make me a anarchist? Oh, well. )

It's not that the lowest common denominator word of content means the worst and the best. Bill Gates definition versus Martha McLuhan definition.

Welp, I'll have to keep track as these things unfold, and soul-searching will occur. This broad brush will see more erm, cases, so to speak. Both Industrialists and the silicon will be watched.

Anti-art and anti-business/Questionable cases

 Previously on Couch Gregor's journalistic notes on Gen AI.

Clickbait! Clickbait and Grifts all around like we are in the trenches! It's time to hide and try to make sense of it.

This attempts to clear some of the fog, despite certain talking points being made.
This one is alright, even if it attempts to separate predictive AI for social media and including generative AI. It claims most of predictive AI on social media hit prediction is bunk and that alot of the scams there are where the snake oil is.

Yet is goes into why it uses text to speech long with other certain evolving tech for clarity.

3:10 hour of the most charitable understanding, along with certain questionable cases that are misrepresenting, I'm not acting as a proxy for Alex Avile.

This is the most accurate take, despite the postmodernism (which I don't like. Foucalt, grr ) Now, it does read between the lines on that Case while happening to not simplify something. It's simply not that simple with such cases like that. Oh, some ideas are not contingent on the measurement of currency.

It's becoming more apparent that with our desires, that even with the efficiency argument and the environmental concerns beginning to surface.

These are the ideas that may get me called out for being anti-business or anti-art, simple because I find a case that supports Adobe AI models and Disney's Ai Models, an indefensible inconsistency. It's why I've tried to listen to others, including the sceptics of the anti-ai. Why would you consider yourself a defender of a class with that backing?

Regardless of things, I try not to be too technological determinist about it, there will be capital and another day of work to do.

Do yourself a favour and don't read the comments, even if I did. Merely noting a Marchell Duchamp taking from Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven.

There are multiple sides to this AI debate and conflict, so I'm going to continue my essay archaeology.

Not into the postmodernism, can be ignored yet his copyright alliance ip-loving maximalism which seeks to increase displacement and artist erasure.

I'm not relating to the justifications of it all.

Yet that's not the intention of advertising, it's to repeat like a frequency till your "accountant tells you they're bored with it." Now it's more of hiding heads in the sands, and with the complexities unresolved.

Creative or 'creative' Pundits have been disappointing, to self-defeating cases, and towards to ineffective noise filters that don't work on current models, no glaze or bulls***. 

I'm going to have to leave this for more coherent words, not another quietism and heads in the sand. With the Luddites that have lost, we have to see if we can at least remain technically literate.

"watching artists advocate for stricter copyright law is insane, to me. you are wrong!

these kinds of people hijacked the whole deal. it sucks. its going to turn into "being anti-copyright law is pro-AI and anti-worker" lol"

I don't think these class interests have oversight to be representive, I'd like more critical thinking with our own ideas.

I have to agree with that sentiment, people have got there funds despite archaic laws, even though I know there are lawyers out there that are good people. We have to come to terms of it. I don't think that's it's defeatist, rather than reassessing my terms of assessment.

I may be called anti-art and anti-business, as things have been previously done. Yet, reading between the lines is something I have to do here. I don't want to live in a complete permission culture, there are always going to be conflicts.

If the confusion of permission and remix is still forever, then nothing will be accomplished.

Technically literate, the best kind. Can't wait for part 2 by Alex Avile.

(Post edit Avile proceeded to post ) Slopification has already happened when he pointed at Defen village. )

Here's my Comment.

"Thanks for this, my thoughts... Remember Elsa-Gate? There was already slop within the gaps to quote 'feed the algorithm/market', such a system of romantic individual creativity could be made, yet as such an extent of the sloppers, the masses don't care and YouTube. Almost like being in our own niche places, where the internet was designed without the intention of advertisers, the commodity fetishism of it all, there's still community to build. So is the idea of Neil Postman's amusing ourselves to death when it comes to politics, journalism, education and religion and made to be liked, aaah Dough Ruskoff, within his documentary to be liked. There was already hacknification and hierarchal relationships with the creation of our crafts. I do it myself when it came to it my own sex work. It's like everything is being illuminated, like you said. The fabric of our serviceability being natural in of itself, not so in our systems. 🛋💭"

It's not like I'm defending Elsa gate or that, it's merely how others don't pay attention to their out mechanisations provided with the financial incentives.

Such as it I don't think the Defen Village as the same as such as the other industry complex, we are seeing it more now.

(Oh, I have no intention of debating this maximalist positioning, regardless, supporting Disney/adobe copyright with their AI models is not within their interest, and not within my purview of debate. There is a growing preprosterism. The less the art enterprise looks like the free market enterprise separation from crunch culture and sigma grind sets the better. I guess some)

Let's leave these cases. Permission culture out of the aesthetics of ideas, concepts and style.

Crosswordism of epistemology: Susan Haack

Notes! 

Crosswordism, a conciliatory epistemological framework of viewing the world for out philosophy, of complete true justified belief. Yet here we are, some of here essays are good, some of them are not. Regarding Neurlanaysis and the overwriting of very within the language.

I gravitate towards Stephan Jay Gould and the mismeasure of man, along with Delusions of Gender as authority sources of Cordelia fine in regard to that. (I'll have to reread it.)

I wanna leave phrenology to the academics, I'm an artist/entertainer first.

Nobody's perfect with my wabi-sabism, So I take a bit from there, a bit from that. Now, such a visualisation of 3-dimensional epistemology is a way of reasons and clues being evidentiary experiences. Wow, she does like paradoxes, as do I within my fiction.

Well, that's ambiguity, that's a way to approach an essay or a fictional work.

Later she critiques the further industrialisation with academia and that's reflected or the orderisation and packaging of student into products that's a simple way with SAT tests, that later is the golden lining that brings with topics. Ad agencies lines of thinking that Seth Godin that has thought, or that he has to seek.

Attorneys being representation of advocacy rather than scientist being that of the pursuit of knowledge. Along with other distinctions, if you ignore thing, she provides a good framework for paradoxes and a 3-dimensional way of seeing discourse.

Trippy, man. Things for the philosophy are to be questioned, nothing is safe, from copyright and curious questions, a lot of questions, and then there's answers.

I'd recommend despite the odd bits.

Why I am a literary editor, not a commercial one.

 Since commercial speaks for itself, I aim for the long-risky term and along more complexity of an established foundherentism principle. Figuratively in it's totaly.

That's what literature and by definition is, most of the ludo logical tautology online simple is not. Literacy requires pretension to be comprehended from audience to author. Where hypocrisy with all the affecting that since entertainment writing is meant. Entertainment writing ain't as pretentious as academy, editorial, journalism, and politics.

Yet such a distinction is worth talking and reminding once and again. That's for the foolish fiction to be the philosophical fact, to editorialise and to fictionalise once again.

https://substack.com/@ayanartan/note/p-153820574

Since the net, everybody can copyright now (Including this link towards pretension! Wow) Yet with everything with hyper-measurement, it ain't that scruncabley simple.

The A.I Gulf, and auto-posting software : Postbirb/Buffer

When you do research to do a journalistic piece. You go around all the Internet to editorialise into an essay, these are all notes. Incoherently placed, here we go.

Since others use auto-posting software, I've dabbled within postybirb, and the more dubious online app buffer. I discovered Buffer advertises itself with link shortening, so I'll be direct. ( No point hiding it, I don't think boycotting/blacklisting will work either. ) Toothpaste is out of tube.

It's dubious since it has an auto-durative intelligence, that I haven't used. That if you want my word, since I want to be a professional writer, the portmanteau between illustrator and writer is a cartoonist. Not going to be using the 

( Postybirb does not do this, by the way. Even though, a spell checker is always appreciated for typos. )

No, I don't endorse it, yet my vote ain't going to count, ain't it? It's been integrated within 'Grok' within xwitter, and that I've been. There's still a rough folk congregation, a Venn diagram of the forming groups under various labels and political sympathies. I have some for the open source with my gift, as long as I own it. Well, It's the time for the commons and public domain have been useful services to our society. My characters coming from pride and prejudice.

(Sometimes I anthropomorphize my ideological conflicts as characters for my entertainment, Regardless. Do I even Fictionalise myself into a entertainer to absolve any responsibility? I'm certainly against the maximisers and what Chuck Wendig has done.)
To sketch out the labels some further, This is what called positioning:

Lets show this concept some more.

Some people use sneer/scare quotes within open source.

Fair use is always going to be murky water. You don't own concepts, poses, or colour schemes.

The grifters are the tasteless Elsa gate churners targeting illiterate kids to game with the essentialising of money for their product. Perfectly designed, unlike the imperfection wabi-sabi of art.

Despite Seth Godins endorsements of tech, I'm a technologist when it comes to aiding within the creative labour industry and freelance sectors. It's still decimating as we speak. I'll keep track of him. His take on AI going through a Gartner hype-cycle is another thing. It's something I resonate with, since once again, This genie has been out of the bottle.

With indie publishing, even when small businesses themselves can be as bad as their commercial counterparts. Then with Stephanie Sterling and above with the many disputes of Fair use being a muddy term of creation.

The water-usage is overblown, I've donated directly to Ecosia, which I recommend switching your search engine too. Heard it's less than boiling a kettle, I've rebalanced by carbon with a donation that I'm planing to give or my own writing of fiction.

There must be something about wasting water that really clicks with people, maybe because they can visualize it? It's kind of farcical, the WaPo story about this tried to make it sound like a lot of water and in the process admitted it's... not?

Holy f**k I missed that: TRAINING ALL OF GPT-3 consumes in total as much water as... producing beef for two people for a year. Not pro-rated to the usage of GPT-3 two people make in a year. Total. And we get a whole article about the water consumption of AI?! bsky.app/profile/ryan...

Since the growing of the usage of AI, I've been following the blogging of various writers who's describing their thoughts. So I'll have to keep track of this. Oh, I will vote for the shadow libraries because it's a means to spread the idea. I shall defend to the death for a creative to sales rep for free and paid. The economy of gifting and hobby does not exist.

I'll resolve this with a video by Shaquille on this. 21 min for those who have missed it.

They'll certainly be a market for hand-made craft, with more and more of this silly technology play-do'd search matter will create more blacklist. I speculate that it's still going to resurface with new iterations. This regurgitation is tasteless. This lack of direct action from others is also tasteless.

I do believe good artists should get paid for the labour and activism, yet this will move towards my leanings, given with my own accord. Copyright maximalism ain't the answer. It's not like these untouchable technopolys deserve any PR anyway, including Nintendo.

Inktober/DrawTober Thoughts

Merely relaxing into the rhythm of doing work for me. Already did,

It's yet another trend where a stream of attention for people to pay attention to and to grow a following.

Everybody, what a stream of attention to grow a following towards solvency. I can afford to, with all the amount.

Even when the guy who stated cleared the copyright for the makers to sell their work, It's clear there's social capital involved to help capitalise on the streams of attention again. It's to show a little spot where the SEO lays, and that's it.

You are the product to advertisement product, and the attention economy is ontologically inseparable to the conversion advertisement these platforms support, with the prosumerism intertwined with its structure.

With the reporting on this, Mary Sue seems to do honest reporting. Oh boy, another copyright troll. Of course, into the antipathy brand which has mixed antipathy as a legal concept within legalese. I have mixed feelings of it being a useful fiction.

 Posted this meme in reply. Aaaah 🛋️💤

These short-term RFPs for internet traction will always exist, for the long termers who want to be sought out by name, they will always have to ignore it. I forget everybody is in the hunt for the newcomers, and it's target audience.

We are not 100% pure when it comes to these trends, either go in for the self, or the generosity of others. I'll most likely going back into the art-fights, due to the fun'n beauty. Yet self-sustainability is more important than from self-exploitation.

If I contradict myself, only if it's important.

It's a tactic, made to get hold of an audience's attention within these social media sites, it ain't for those who could afford strategy.

Maquettes/LayFigures/Rigged-Animation

 I've been dabbling with technology with making the creativity an enhancement, with less of the procedure

Yes, I've been using digital tools to help my craft, I may be shooting myself in the foot because these are by-products of the commercial illustration Zeitgeist.

These digital lay figures, handmade maquettes and rigging to bring my ideas to life has been a tool. It's not like I was breaching copyright, yet now I'm dealing with a conflict and competition with the illustration industry complex.

I wonder if I'm going to jump the hand-made blender models next with grease pencil.

Advantages:

• Increase repeatability
• On-model Visual Refinement
• 3D dimensional playground
• Foreshortening Know-how
• Maquette formation
• Less Cognitive load

Disadvantages:

• Risk of looking like an asset flip
• Classical proportion tendency ☺ Can go limited in visual flavour of toony, graphic designy and anime aesthetics. Such specialised, specific models are needed if asked. Yet it aligns with my vision of classical-toony vision.
• Lack of straight ahead raw-directness. Nothing beats making something out of a metaphysical nothingness.
• Adapting my wabi-sabi touches will take getting used to.

It's not like the art police is going to arrest me and send me to art jail, all these tools and methods will all be placed, where the utility serves the user, not the other way around.

I know these may not necessarily be the one and only specifications I'm dabbling in, that won't have any satisfying answer. It's why writing will be another matter.

Cushy Peacock in 3 dimensions

 Drained from the sex scene I've articulated with nine pages, this blender vacation is an eye-opening of how to stimulate a new section.

Words terms circulate that I'm still understand the remarkability of such concepts:

Quads, Tri-gons and Ngons, Poles, supporting loops, voxel, booleans, solidfy, topology and retopoligized, Vortexes and edges and planes. All that in-terminology you'd now dare announce if you'd copyright to catch advertisement.

Stuff that can be categorized and used to make sense, into hard-surface modelling and sculpting for all the 3d designer to see then-

My mother called with an impromptu pub carvery visit to here birthday with her sister. It was so sudden, so I decided to polite fully decline due to it having nothing to be agreed on. Doing the best method possible to preserve the relationship. Understandable, her sister's daughter could eat anything from the carvery, despite with the ordered couldn't be eaten.

I did not miss out, They did not miss out. Did I disappoint myself, though? Later, after the carvery, there was a stuffed peacock keyring as a shared present. I look at it, as I become something else with it. In terms of what a 3d modeller sees.

Backlash of hype cycle

More data for the skeletal hull of my OC Kyros, what to do.

Bogswollop meme on video essays. I've got more for you to follow.

Collecting vids for more thought on the AI.
 

38 min documentary, to help make a rethink. Austin has been accused by Style jacking by Hbomberguy, yet he's the content farm like everthing else who has to build an audience.

This is going through a hype cycle.

Technology trigger to the highest visibility

It's likely there's going to be another AI push after this one, because I've been using shading assistant on my own work to streamline the CEL-shading process (with varying clumsy application) as that the ai? Is using this spell-checker AI too?

The moment you templetize a process, the moment it can be put into AI. There going to have to be skills that can't templetized, then It'd be put into ai.

This is the matter of normalization, and the Artificial generation will go through the currents, interweaving with our lives once more. The constant debate of copyright infringement will still continue, with the arguments over social status and tenures being in question once again, instead of doing the work.

To do the work, with more a better tools to the creative Zeitgeist will remain. With wabi sabi rust that will remain.

1:06 hour of the driving cause of this, convenience being served with the business model behind it, with an obvious bad guy.

Hbomberguy comment

A big bucket of copyright and it's murky depths.

Of course, I've seen hbomberguys new video. 3:50 hour documentary. The way he covers how the angry video nerd became a content farm, and how the internet historian hidden past and how he built his audience over trolls. Pass on that audience.

This documentary has honest reporting, with my own views of AI. All things considered.

You know, it's important why these content farms and hacks exist in the first place, despite the hollowness. They commodify streams of attention to measurable result for the direct response mass advertiser. These statistics are why they get the email and will continue to do so. Business have to continue, the show must go on and so forth, (as Harlen would say within the Glass teat.) The Flows of traffic that go before us with all the activities going forward.

So it's better to create something with honest, professional practice including the marketing. Those samples within the documentary aren't the case. All these determined streams of attention, all will pass, it's better to build something ourselves.

To quote a direct marketer Herschal Gordon Lewis which the ones who plagiarize ignored:

"Lying isn't necessary If it ever becomes Necessary, Let's all do something else for a living."

Now it's time to review what I've written before.

• Copyright/trademark is always the most fluid law, ostensibly it's meant to protect the specific expression. Yet it's been abused by big business to cripple freelancing/small scale business. It's a paradoxical law where it can't be applied selectively; it's universal. Otherwise, it won't work.

• I could establish further enforcement, yet at the same time that'd give big business a means to cripple. Then that's a no-go. No artificial DMCA takedowns, please! We've seen what happens when the music industry does it for streams. Is Hbomberguy right in this categorization? (Edit: bomberguy did hint at this at the start of plagiarism detection, so points there.)

What's the difference between plagiarism, copyright infringement, and fair use? What does it mean to publish to work in a realm of the internet arena? This question will continue to be asked because it's still open.

Now that, I'll know there'll be natty or not when it comes to my own work.

So the point of this comment, it's likely there are going to be further cases with this battleground.

Appendix:

What I've said about copyright. Seth has covered it within his podcasts, I generally agree. Especially as he's covered the part that's covered with Harlen Elison's rant of paying the writer. I have to quote him, because this blog is a yoink and twist of his format.

Lines in the sand, Generative/Derisive AI

Gurney written about it, Seth Godins, written and podcasted about it and others within my circle are having their takes. With Patrick Willems.

50 min documentary on Ai Along with a several minute read of Colin of the Bloodknife

Hopefully, this is going to be my own point of view. Nothing things from before.

The market, and the way the attention shifts, new trends and technological shifts are occurring.

Image generating search engines, and the need for an endless supply of content, whatever hackneyed to keep the show of going on.

I'll never use any of these images, myself reminded of the handcrafted pottery, and it's wabi-sabi imperfection, it can't be entered within a computer. The artwork and the process ain't there when I typed it up, it's average, middle of the road.

Romantic to the wabi-sabi crumbles back in my days.

I'll be alright, with my professional non-profit stuff, what's the problem is there's going to be others to understanding the grassroots process. Getting in those fingers raw.

It's here now, from chatbots to the like. What there will be in terms of work for free and professional work will change again. Jobs are going to be shuffled. Making sustainability solvency will mean difference once more.

Seeing copyright is going to be reinforced again by small businesses and commercial illustrators. It's a universal law where the copyright trolls will have a field day. Is this what creators should do? Build careers suing others? We don't want big wigs, from Disney, Warner Bros, and Sony making a DMCA AI detection system an over illustrators style, or a writer's voice.

Already, the seeds have been planted by adobe. The enemy of my enemy, ain't my buddy.

An AI detection system that will cut off Artist's living like that audio detection on twitch, youch.

From my the mutuals of my other account.

Not gonna bang on for amateurs for playing with the new tools. Neither am I going to fully publish any AI stuff without giving it the one and only edit, (then, it ain't artificial) It can only summon mass, the general mean. Mediocre. Something that a quirky couch cannot be replicated by. 

Maybe it will interweave with new ideas, in the coming years. Only as a tool to get into the creative juices. Not the other way around. So there has to be an interweaving with it.

Copyright and trademark or one of the most double-edged laws, flexible and hard to be grasped, empowering it won't be good. Fair use will be tested. The content tug between if our ideas will be cannibalized or fair used will occur. Best to work through it, even as the amoral business models change.

Don't get any funny ideas on what they will do with this.

Thoughts on Ai image generator, bing Artificial generation.

A swirling of incomprehensible image water, others use it to try to reverse engineer and go down the gameable algorithm, others feel like it's a shock.

It's here now. The ratchet as been placed with the genie out of the bottle. Competitors in the business will be using to help move them to compete with customer/audience bases. Only a matter of time.

I've entertained it, it can't capture humanity and its themes, yet it's an algorithm that ain't conscious, it does not know how to steal. Only the hackneyed will of the master, not the wabi-sabi art of a creative mind. Mere pastiche.

Regardless, the lure of free was enough to try it. Won't paste anything.

I guess it's only good at one thing, mediocre and undefinable, all average stuff. Nothing I'd use to work in my work, only the summoning to make. This is the baseline average that Hollywood, and its entertainment want with our content I guess, to feed to the masses.

Detractors (from the biggest, the commercial illustrators.) of course are pointing that this is stealing, it bogs down to making a living and getting paid. This ain't it, chief. Even though the biggest supporters there are doing it exactly for that reason. Getting paid in money and exposure being their bottom line. Creativity with a capital C and Literature does not follow that.

It's so funny that AI art folks are like "my prompts are very finely crafted, they are my art" and then the prompts are like "photorealistic, insane quality, extremely detailed, masterpiece, professionally color graded, viral on Artstation, viral on Twitter, viral photo" - Dan Olsen

They want to make a go viral, make a hit and make a living, quick rich scheme it is. Over public domain art. Calculation for traffic numbers, all programming, all depersonalization.

There's stuff one can't reverse engineer. This is all reverse engineering.

What's threatening? A dmca'd detection system that take-downs art authorized by a bully corporation, who tries to copyright a style for making a number go up, that's something to watch for. They may do it. This argumentation for more IP power will be a slippery slope.

Couch Gregor and the of home-grown artists will do it the old fashion way, with AI helping streamline the process to make art, not the other way around.

Even then, the pattern of what it means to be paid to do creative work will shift.  They still will be couchmanity.

Dealing with bad brand/signature Recognition.

Ah! Genericide! My own weakness!

Sometimes one does self-publishing gigs within the Discord, and gets accused of freebooting for not crediting creators. Despite the self-evident benefit of the doubt, high status users here and low status product 'content' creators.

Its not good enough.

Yet is it oneself or is it the lack of brand recognition?

How to respond or react to what feels like snide legalese and courtesy, a clown within a suit? (It may not be, internalising such a response is the first step.)

1. "This is what happens, when somebody accuses of freebooting and does not check the artist's profile and body of work, which explicitly states the ownership." (React and act high status, bite back with more snide legalese.) Or..
2. "Oh, this ain't my fault or his, merely dismiss the as ignorant and misguided. Merely be polite and continue, because one needs to go back to work." (Respond with the status role if no status role.)

The latter sounds more civil, simply because. Time spent on copyright and ownership, treated like real estate, will ensure that nothing gets done. Note the status role games are being played here, then go ahead.

Which legalese should I say to make it apparent? You'll notice I'm still spending time on this.

• To the moderators, this is Couch Gregorian Brand certified, as described in the Cough Gregorian Brand of a shapeshifting couch golem by the signature in the top right/left. A circle, a couch, and initials with the date. 🛋️™️ To further verify, check my profile description of my body of work. Where nothing is non-commercially told and verified within.
• This is Couch Gregorian, one and only certified 🛋️™️
• This is the one and only Couch Gregor'd

"Thank you, I'll make creditation of the couch Gregor brand more obvious."

Middlemen persist, better or worse.

I could cut out all the formal talk altogether and then.

Sorry [moderators or moderator], I'll try to make my self creditation clearer.

Yet, what defines good creditation? Where are the gatekeepers who prescribe the rules now?

Regardless, this is the business signal for a freelancer that he needs to find better clients, if the clients simply don't care enough to do their job of treating the freelancer as the one and only with his brand. Then that's not a positive sign you're serving the right clients.

Vote with one's feet, one way to avoid these pointless legalese/formal negotiations within the commercial arena is to walk away.

React streamers!? React, responding to this.

React-to-react-respond-to-respond-to-respond.

This is another take on the never-ending fair use/copyright debate.

I remember that I did a fitness response/reaction, my views went. I ended it realizing that it's not a path well-lived for a career.

It all started with a creation of youtube, it all started here and there.

It continues, with the talk of XQX and MeatCanyons, shoutouts to come with these videos such as the right opinion. Back in 2016 as I was within the eclipse of playing games, there was another usage of their videos, to carefully crafted videos. That's meaningful usage.

Now it's means to push a number up, where there is no curation. When and others ditch their self-actualization to get paid really well by the algorithm and gate keep their audiences by adding minimal entertainment value. This is the new meta of twitch and YouTube who are openly paying them.

This nebulous content mentioned by Meatcanyon will continue to be normalized. What to do about it?

What does that have to say when YouTube promotes it and says that they're the path to success? These audiences and these 'creators'.

They're a business and it won't affect them till it effects there bottom line. It's best to self-publish to cut out these middlemen that sharecrop. To keep with, and respect literacy and creative value.

I'm not against react/commentary if it brings curation to the creatives within this ocean of content.

Take notice with the definition of content it's getting, though. The more Bill Gates it gets..
