cool av posted:with right wing chest-thumping, the blatant lying is part of the whole show. the fact that you're lying and you and everybody else knows it and yet you only double-down when confronted, is what makes you strong. that's true of the right-wing election lie ringleaders, but what makes it work are the countless dipshits who actually believe it. The ringleaders know its a show but the show doesn't work without an audience. a Sidney Powell tweet doesn't mean much until a hundred thousand credulous morons hit the retweet button. Hell, the DC courts are currently overwhelmed with processing indictments for hundreds of idiots who believed it so much that they drove cross-country in January to commit a bunch of felonies, after which they tell FBI agents and federal judges that they only did it because they believed Serious People like Donald Trump and Sidney Powell I don't think that environment is all that dissimilar from crypto and NFT stuff. Most of the folks now hollering about NFTs on social media are naively caught up in the hype and don't realize (and don't want to realize, once they're emotionally invested in it) that there's just nothing there, but there's a bunch of ringleaders who know it's bullshit and are just in it to make a buck. It might not yet have dawned on Twitter rube #43023 that they're buying nothing but a meaningless serial number on a list, whereas the folks who wrote the Foundation.app terms of service know that but are happy to let everyone assume otherwise.

I want these NFT people to explain to me how the artist was able to upload the "original" to the server without making a copy. And how they view the picture not as a copy through the internet.

And how they view the picture not as a copy through the internet. Beeple did an interview with Corridor Digital that kind of went into it. He describes it less as being about "originality" as it is about basically having a certificate of ownership. Now that there can be certificates of ownership minted by the original artist that can be sold, it creates a market (that he also admits is pretty much purely speculation, with maybe a small touch of people wanting to support artists). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13U573keZ3A (They do insert a whole segment completely bullshitting about the environmental impact, which sucks and is the worst part of the video.)

Artists selling their work digitally is nothing new, it's why something like Patreon exists. And I find it highly doubtful there's going to be a flourishing secondary market for "used" tokens in the future.

Fame Douglas posted:Artists selling their work digitally is nothing new, it's why something like Patreon exists. And I find it highly doubtful there's going to be a flourishing secondary market for "used" tokens in the future. It feels like they're trying to bootstrap a high art market into existence. If they can do that, then I can see it becoming something significant even if there are only few thousand absurd billionaires who really care about it. Hell, plenty of the existing market in high art and famous historical pieces operate in a very similar kind of space anyways. Rich guy A buys famous painting or historical artifact from rich guy B, but the whole time the piece stays "on loan" in the collection of a museum where the public can see it (and where professionals can do things like make sure it stays in pristine condition). The high art market is all clout-chasing (and money laundering), so a system that allows that to happen with digital art isn't automatically doomed. A lot of it will depend on what happens when the owner of NFT for "The First 5000 Days" puts it up for sale. If it can sell for at or above the amount it went for originally, then this will probably be around a long time. There's no way to tell if that will happen though, because like all high art sales it'll be entirely a matter of hype and the whims of rich people.
