The most exciting version of the generative future is the one that allows people to play as freely and control as deeply as they like in the way that is most intuitive. Thatβs where the @DreamLabLA compass points.
New playful creative experiences and processes ahoy!
@LumaLabsAI
An autonomous @rivr_tech delivery robot being tested in Pittsburgh. Snow, ice, hills and stairs everywhere: it was genuinely feeling dangerous as a human to go outside at times. Really a great stress test for the robots.
@KeyTryer@cluckingchooky The fact that the Stationers' Company were behind the act is a big tip off that it wasn't at all for the authors benefit... and they engaged in some clever propaganda which people still parrot to this day.
@MattofLegend@KeyTryer If Disney wants your stuff, they will take it, if you fight, they'll bury you in legal BS until you're broke. For most folks IP is just a state-granted privilege you're too poor to enforce. Without copyright YOU can take THEIR stuff.
IP is their shield more than yours.

@HeatRayCaravel@KeyTryer Soviet Union had copyright too.
Profit motives exist even without state monopolies (IP). If I can't rely on a state-granted exclusivity privilege in the market, I have to rely all the more on maintaining a good reputation and making sure my product is better than my competitors.
@tech_interloper@KeyTryer You've got it backwards. Copyright empowers those WITH money with all the power. If Disney wants your stuff, they will take it, if you fight, they'll bury you in legal BS until you're broke. For most folks IP is just a state-granted privilege you're too poor to enforce.
@insomnialibro@KeyTryer If it was theft they wouldn't have had to make up a whole new set of laws for it, because it would be covered by the already existing law framework for theft. What it's prosecuted as now is unauthorized COPYING. Theft is strictly seizure of physical property.
@PeanutPhlynx@KeyTryer Subscriptions/patronage and kickstarters still exist. It's easier to be an artist and writer now more than ever with the internet. People want to support creators they care about, and go out of their way to do so.
@JuWowis@KeyTryer You're just digging your hole deeper by replying, because the Algo will now go; "Oh! They engaged with this post, they must really like this sort of content, I'll make sure to show them more in the future."
@Jamesdrohan@KeyTryer You literally just made a distinction between them. And the government did too, or they would just call it theft. They had to make up this whole new thing just to make it illegal, because theft didn't cover it.
@liz_love_lace@KeyTryer "Hello, I'm with a non-profit research org, we're developing open source, public and free medicinal solutions that anyone may produce and profit from, and we need your donations to continue doing our work."
In a world without IP that can be the solution, else trade-secret.
@GiveMeBanHammer@EHuanglu 32 GB (2x16) is just fine for gaming. Found that for 170 $.
Either way, high prices = profit signals = ramped-up production. Producers will seek to supply this demand, because it's profitable. Sudden demand takes time to match, can't build factories overnight, but it'll happen.
@GojoEnigma@hazy2go Population collapse is imminent all over. Young people are not having kids. There will be too few producers and too many dependents. AI will be needed to pick up the slack. Crucial even.
