translating things, building chill software for my friends, playing ttrpgs, making procedural vector art, learning piano, writing unhinged Utena fanfics, and just vibing



still intrigued by an article I read a while ago, proposing that governments should make AI art ineligible for copyright. someone's using the creative labor of the public to generate an art, they don't get to own that art or tell other people not to use it. that definitely wouldn't "solve" the issue; there'd still be a ton of debate to be had about the ethics of using AI art for indie projects etc. but i'd hope it would at least send the vulture capitalists screeching and scattering off - like, Disney and other big corporate players wouldn't want to touch AI art with a ten foot pole if it meant ceding their monopoly on merch and derivative works. it's way less "horrible copyright dystopia" than a lot of other policy ideas floating around, and it'd be awesome to at least push some of the loudest shittiest voices out of the ongoing conversation about art and value and labor and culture.
