Will depend on the individual desire? Say you don't care and just want cheap entertainment on your phone while Copilot is answering your emails for you: you may see more and it doesn't matter. Just don't want to be bored. Someone else, however, will be too busy answering their emails so they don't have time for slop and they watch much less movies, but authentic only, and they pay for that.
I think that we could say that Spotify and Netflix are markets for authentic content, just it's not transactional. The question will be how they're going to react: subscription price 10x and walled garden (which in turn may incentivize some more piracy), or less curation, more slop.
By being non-confrontational. The trick is to not say some things and be patient, or even better, gently steer the counterparty into bringing up the less pleasant stuff of their own accord (though that's an art.)
The effect will be that intellectual property of anything digitized (ideas, knowledge, skills) becomes a commodity. Just like "generating a ton of text that to the untrained eye sounds reasonable" has become a commodity recently.
This could lead to a couple of things:
- Reputation and authenticity to become increasingly important for a small section of society.
- This means more DRM, more digital signatures, more walled gardens, for those of us who need authenticity.
- The masses will not care, just like they don't care now, watching TikTok all day.
- These will be milked with subscription upon subscription and services that pop up and rug overnight.
- Prices for authentic content will go up steeply, because there will be much less demand.
- This could bring in a new era of internet piracy for those that want a copy of authentic stuff without the annoying AI flaws.
PS: when I was in Europe last month, they were talking there about extending IP laws, specifically to include one's physical attributes, making deep fakes an infringement on copyright. So I'm not so sure that outside North America, IP laws aren't as important as inside it.
No one can take the moment that you cherish something you find awesome away from you, unless you forgot to mute your phone. So as long as you always mute your phone, you get to spend time to appreciate the things. When you find something good, you sit back and you tell yourself "yes! I enjoyed that".
Just because there's more ugly it doesn't mean that there's less beauty to be seen.
I often get myself real bed linens if I'm somewhere for a longer time instead of the microfiber crap, and I try to not drink from plastic bottles, meaning I have an excuse to prefer good wine over soda.
Bitcoin doesn't fix this. But in your experiment, didn't you get at least some artistically acceptable content at all?
as if she'd consulted an oracle rather than a statistical text generator accommodating her wishes.
AI is a great indicator of intelligence for the humans operating it.
This morning I received a panicked message from a friend. He received an email that his non-profit was getting sued for copyright infringement and if I could put him in touch with a good lawyer on what to do. He noted that he hadn't clicked any links yet, so I said sure, but how about you grab the plain source of the email and send that to me, so that I can check if you're not being scammed into something.
- The
fromemail address was a dkim-enablededu.vnsub-sub-sub domain - Google let it through with a spam rating of -1.8 because dkim checked out
- Their private mailserver let it through because dkim checked out
- The mail was written in acceptable French (I could understand most of it and my French kinda sucks)
- The "evidence" wasn't attached but linked (normal for lawyers) but went to
rebrandly.com- not too normal for lawyers. - I tor-proxied curl and fetched it, after 5 redirects it came to some page that tries to script redirect to a zipfile
- I downloaded the zipfile (also tor-proxied) and read it with a throwaway user
- Turned out to be a rar file, so i did
rar -ton it. - Contents: an
.exe, a.dlland a script; i.e. this is a trojan.
Saved my friend 500k sats retainer money, in 5 minutes. Yay.
That man is an asshole, and I don't accept the premise of assholes. [..] Every year, everyone has to go to the copyright office and say: "Please sir, may we be able to fix our devices, can I disable the ads on my treadmill without getting sent to El Salvador?" [..] If you fixed something that a manufacturer bricked in the United States of America, you should be getting a gold fucking medal, not a legal bill for thirty thousand dollars and the potential to go to federal prison.
Love this. No donate button, yet, which is a good indicator of honesty too.
