I had a little phone-fob with an LED and a battery in that had a coiled wire antenna just for picking up the incoming message interference that would make your speakers doot and turning it into a call notification flasher. edit: ah just remembered they also had tiny ones that powered the LED from the RF signal itself https://i.imgur.com/Velfz4i.mp4 https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisthisthing/comments/2bknft/what_are_these_flashing_cell_phone_stickers/ NoneMoreNegative fucked around with this message at 10:30 on Jan 1, 2024 |

I'm always excited when someone figures out a new way to pay and encourage up and coming artists. So I guess it hurt extra hard that NFTs are basically the most tasteless and lovely form of pop art possible (trading cards but for people who daily drive a clapped out g wagon)

This wasn't a new and exciting way to do anything except to waste massive amounts of power to launder dirty money on dumb ape pictures It didn’t start with ugly AI art either. What an NFT was at the start was conflicting and murky exactly like when it was when the term metaverse started getting bandied around. It was the first tweet, clips of basketball games, and other stupid metaphorical concepts. NFTs never got their footing as to their practical use, from inception to their death.

Scarcity is basically their whole loving deal and if theyre not particularly technical its easy to think that NFTs are a good idea. I fielded a bunch of calls from my artiste friends about it and honestly theres something to be said for a digital “certificate of authenticity” or whatever. NFTs were just a bad implementation.

I don’t blame the artists at all. They were lied to and stolen from for the most part. But I also think digital artists have to contend with not having the property of scarcity that physical artworks enjoy. Instead they make their living on commission, selling their time and skill to someone’s specifications. Which is why “AI art” sucks as it’s stripping away even that

Thank goodness we got rid of the VCR, home video was just a nightmare for the studios, to say nothing of the use of Internet distribution of music! I would be a lot more receptive to the argument that scarcity is the important part if it wasn't being made for centuries. The current constraint artists enjoy is being able to tour physically and sell things like merch. They're selling experiences, not content. Patrons in ancient times were paying for the ability to say that they had a pet artist, not the art itself. Volmarias fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Jan 2, 2024 |

hope taping killed the record industry.  that's why there's no music any more - music fully disappeared in the 90s and never came back.

Patrons in ancient times were paying for the ability to say that they had a pet artist, not the art itself. flawless copies have only been a thing recently. Scarcity is why you deface the plate after a print run. Patrons in ancient times were paying for a lot of different things, and one of the big ones is that they get original art from their pet artist that no one else has.
