I think I am fairly honest with the internet about my life / thoughts / feelings and the truth is it’s hard to work full time in a tough job and work on other independent projects and always feel kind of missed or under appreciated. Haven’t quit but feel that way

Live Nation and Ticketmaster merged in 2010.

The result? The company now has almost total control over the live-event industry, which lets it get away with tacking on such exorbitant fees.

Monopolization isn't just bad for the music industry, it's bad for the entire economy.

Last one for now, I promise: #ChatGPT, if #OpenAI gathered image data and text data without consent or compensation, then used it to train LLMs and other generative AI tools, and did so repeatedly, should it be subject to algorithmic disgorgement by the @FTC ?

I take away 2 things from this exchange.

1. Our trans friends are 100% in the crosshairs right now. They are not exaggerating. They are the number one target of the other side.

2. Republicans would also like to actively destroy any solidarity between cis PoC and trans people.

@mark_wilkins ("Mark W / CCP Darwin 🇺🇸🇮🇸") replied to a tweet by @mark_wilkins:

It would have been easy to simply permit registration of AI generated work under authorship of the operator, and I'm surprised they didn't take that route. But, generally this seems like a reasonable place to be (unless you're someone with a financial interest in generative AI.)

@mark_wilkins ("Mark W / CCP Darwin 🇺🇸🇮🇸") wrote:

I've offered the opinion in the past that the U.S. Copyright Office wouldn't take the position they've taken today on the product of generative AI. I was wrong!

I'm highly ambivalent about generative AI, but I didn't think they'd do this.
