I wrote a blog post on the current trend of game decompilations using AI and where we’re going with this. It’s all very promising but oh boy are the implications scary.

    It’s interesting seeing all the people who used to complain about copyright now realizing that copyright does in fact protect small artists, and it’s actually the reason why anyone was able to make a living as an artist at all.

    nah, the artist income game is even more rigged than the capitalism people like complaining about. basically 99% of all art revenue goes to 1% of artists, while the bottom 50% of artists get basically 0% of the income. it’s incredibly unevenly distributed. the income inequality among artists is even more extreme than it is for wage workers.

      99% of what art revenue? There isn’t a global “art account” that gets divided among anyone who calls themselves an artist. Individuals earn what they earn.

      The people pumping out mainstream movies are obviously going to earn more than those doing furry porn commissions on the fediverse.
