if they hadn't raised tens of millions of dollars, i might feel sorry for these guys

the nature of their protocol is so fundamentally at odds with the nature of the internet, but they have years of runway left so they have to continue justifying it

Studio Ghibli lost out on millions today.

Don't get me wrong, the world is far better with AI. AI empowers 8 billion people around the world - the teenager in Argentina, the aspiring artists in Kenya, the hobbyist in NYC.

But AI companies also use IP without compensation.

why do you think their protocol is "fundamentally at odds with the nature of the internet"?

ten different reasons, but who is gonna pay to post a meme?

also attribution is nearly impossible. and enforcement is nearly impossible.

i don't think anyone would pay to post a meme, but i could see next-gen social networks (like fc) subsidizing that cost on behalf of their users

attribution becomes easier in that world, and so does enforcement

i'm a big fan of @titles (and @sorenwrenn) so i hope they crack it!

more explicit attribution with minting/collecting experience like what Titles is doing has a chance imo, but for the vast majority of media, I don’t see a path for effective attribution. internet is too fragmented
