no more social media. i make text games that are poorly rated in game jams and talk about cool niche stuff.


as far as petty twitter arguments about copyright go, this one was fun. it has made me think about how people are coping that copyright will solve everything. all reactive, no preventative.

good stuff.

i think the anti ai people are extremely pro-copyright in bad ways. maybe it’s because it’s a huge coalition of people who come from different ideologies and all but man, i just think artist protections shouldn’t come from copyright.

Christ what an asshole. I get your point completely.

You always get some reactionary rando arguing when it comes to utopian reasoning. They think it's some huge gotcha that you would need the law or the police etc. for anything as it works now. They refuse to understand getting rid of any self-justifying system means thinking outside of the value framework it imposes.

i find it funny (and utterly depressing) how artists put all of their hopes on copyright. creative works are facing historically shitty work conditions with no safety or guarantees whatsoever, and the solution is of course... uh... copyright

imagine being a small artist having to deal with a copyright suit. for sure they are swimming in cash to afford lawyers and legal procedures right

The whole space strikes me as weird, every time I look at it. A few months ago, I saw completely nonsensical anti-AI takes like "well, I don't want big companies to use my free labor to train their behemoths, but the people who wrote the public licenses that I use to release my work opposed copyright, so I guess that I should come to terms with the problem instead of solving it." And I wonder if it's just that copyright has become so alien to most people (a semi-permanent, heritable monopoly that applies to consumers more than publishers, rather than the opposite) that people assume that it must be the tool that solves every problem (or a problem to constantly rail against), instead of a tool for the already-rich to exploit artists...
