I didn’t say he explained why this is the case in this video. I believe he may have talked about it elsewhere, but long-story short, European nation-states didn’t want unified railroad systems because they were afraid their opponents will use them to invade them during war.
That’s not true, he also takes down libertarian seasteaders, and dictator vanity projects just as much. Also, it’s not his fault that trains are the superior form of transportation we know of.
❓
The video actually mentions why it’s not quite possible yet, but it’s slowly moving towards that direction. It’s just that the EU train system is very FUBAR’d due to all the 20th century conflicts
Death of the Author applies here. One can’t prevent how others interpret their work. The same way a neonazi org might use your work for propaganda, is how leftists repurpose Stonetoss comics for their own purposes. Or rather, it’s not that you can’t prevent it, it’s that the means by which you would try to prevent it, would create a functional dystopia.
If someone acceptable were to ask me, I’d let them use my work without compensation.
Personally speaking, I hate permission culture.
It’s as relevant as we make it in our discussion, no? You brought up the theoretical noble intentions of the copyrights, so I felt compelled to mention their actual results.
I only visit twitter when I run out of lemmy and mastodon and I’m still not sleepy enough but can’t be arsed to read a book.
It also kickstarted one of the biggest enclosures in recent memory, where profiteers went around and copyrighted indigenous and folk songs and then went against everyone using them.
The point is that this tech is not only made for one reason (replacing artists and authors etc). It has plenty of other valid uses, such as an assistant, a sex toy, personal entertainment etc and probably a lot we don’t know due to how young it is. I don’t want to pre-emptively see all the valid uses locked-in to proprietary models and everyone becoming a serf to openAI to use them.
Call me radical, but I don’t agree that anyone should have the right to tell others how to use their creative work. If you share it, it’s out of your hands. All culture is a remix and has always been this way until the last 120 years. Copyright and Patents have always been a mistake and should be abolished as they achieved the opposite of what they promised.
Now add one with the Autism circle as well.
The point is that these big companies have enough money to get permission from whoever they want, so we’ll still end up with proprietary models destroying industries, but only the big corpos will be able to use this tech effectively and everyone else will have to beg. A future like the 70s where the only OS’ and programming languages were proprietary, or the 90s where all the DBs were proprietary. A paradigm where a powerful tech (good or not) is only available to the rich or for rent, is never a good one.
Oh I didn’t know it was a bot instance
Now it’s time to learn about the [email protected] which is made to make fun of the chuds taking ideas like roko’s basilisk seriously :D
The article says the opposite from the title and doesn’t say much at all at that.
Because your politics is clearly conservative.
Can you PM me the image you’re trying to upload (not as an upload to lemmy, host it somewhere else), so I can check?
I’ve heard others say pictrs was struggling recently. I’ll try to check the logs
From your comments here, you’re clearly not “politically neutral”
No. The dev just couldn’t handle it
I gotta be honest with you, at this point I don’t even know what you’re arguing for 😅
