if an artist asks to not pirate their work, i have no problem abiding by that. but let's not forget why music, film, and books are devalued. streaming is a "legitimate" channel but it is built on theft. it is an unsustainable model that has disrupted an entire revenue stream.
Spotify is actively recommending AI music made by AI models that may be trained on copyrighted music without permission. 240k monthly listeners for this ‘artist’. Half a million streams of the top track. This eats into the royalty pool available to human musicians. Generative…

Has anyone written yet about how the framework of "Public Interest Technology" focuses so heavily on digital technologies to the exclusion of . . . . . . . like, all other technologies?
"The gigantic and costly industry Silicon Valley is building around generative AI is still struggling to explain the technology's utility," @scottros reports. After a year and a half, "it remains tough to say exactly why we should all start using [it]." axios.com/2024/04/24/gen…

@acoyne It cost a lot of money to build distribution centres and stores. Then you have to go head to head with incumbents with fairly deep pockets. You may squeeze their margins but you aren't going to make the margins they did before you arrived.
Generational fairness you say? theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editor…

Rob Kenney's father abandoned him when he was 14. As an adult, he launched a YouTube channel called "Dad How Do I?" that teaches kids how to do things a dad would normally teach them. He has four million subscribers and the channel just celebrated its four year anniversary.
