I was driving around Williamsburg the other day and there’s all these commissioned “street art” ape murals. Embarrassing.

Better than just another corporate logo or ad, and murals are usually for depressing things like famous dead people or events. If I'm driving down a street and see an NFT on a wall somewhere, it would cheer me up as I know someone intentionally hosed themself over. Looking forward to the min-resurgence of NFTs in the near future too. When those who have them now, desperately will sell them to get anything back from them. And a new gen of bag holders will appear, it will trend again, and the comedy continues.

I thought that Heidi Klum was a pretty shrewd businesswoman. And now that I think of it, having her own show (in Germany) in which she sells the promise of top-modelling to a bunch of teenagers every year, just to promote her own brand... Yeah, she is on the grifting side of the deal.

Lol the new episode of “Evil” (great show btw) has a subplot of the main series antagonist launching and pumping their own crypto currency in order to sow discord.

When I say literally fall apart, I’m talking about the actual materials. I can understand someone spending $1k on higher end leather shoes because those will last a lifetime if taken care of. Sneakers being worth that when they’ll literally disintegrate just because somebody made 500 of them is just lmao Sneakers are still more valuable than Bitcoin because as the person above said, at least you have something you can use to throw at people when it’s fallen apart

leather shoes are also simple enough in their construction that you can fix them for a minor fraction of their original price, usually just replace the sole. Theoretically you can Ship of Theseus them I guess if youre a vampire or some other sort of ultra long lived person.

In theory, how would copyright/IP/whatever law deal with stuff like murals or all of this BAYC-alike poo poo popping up everywhere since most of it isn’t a 1:1 pixel reproduction? It’s not like Mario or Mickey Mouse where regardless of style the character is still distinct/recognizable. There are 11000+ procedurally generated BAYCs … so if someone were to just create their own in the style would they infringing anything?

I found myself genuinely wondering this about Seth Green’s NFT fiasco… Why not just spend a few grand to file off the most obvious visual attributes of the ape in his dumb show in progress and make a derivative ape that isn’t directly represented in the fetid little ecosystem? Was visually preserving the ape he paid for just egotism? Because that would make the situation even more stupid than it was before.

Like the ape used in his test footage wasn’t even “the same” from a technical perspective as his NFT in any meaningful way other than likeness.

Never seen this before nexo issuing a cease and desist demand by... linking to a blog post with no specifics whatsoever https://twitter.com/ahcastor/status/1541220710152114176 this is even funnier than the one the cryptoland people sent to Molly White telling her to delete her lies

LOL even Bernie Madoff didn't promise anything near what crypto keeps consistently promising:quote:The $1.3 billion fraud bilked more than 7,000 people, mostly seniors, and enticed them with promised returns of 5% to 10% a year on real-estate investments. Ponzi was the high mark at a promised 50 percent.

A bunch of IP lawyers basically agreed that Seth Green never lost his NFT, because it was a fraudulent conveyance, and if push came to shove he could sue to have the token itself returned because NY law would not have recognized the blockchain as determinative of anything. But, the entire idea of NFTs is to perpetuate the sham that there is something substantive there; exercising his actual legal rights would have revealed that the emperor is wearing nothing. Green couldn't break kayfabe because it would immediately sink the project, his audience cares deeply about the delusion this is a special club they've joined.

Of course it doesn't actually confer ownership rights. That sort of thing requires buy in from enforcement authorities. You know, a government

Yeah I figured it needed to be, specifically, his ape in order to let the entire concept work. If you can just copy an ape... why... anarchy is loosed!

There's a pretty decent possibility that procedurally-generated images aren't even copyright-able at all. Courts have generally found that only humans can create art, and I don't think an algorithmically generated bored ape would meet that threshold.
