Amazing portfolio of creative marketing work

This and Tali were some favorites

Still a lot of unresolved ethical (and legal?) questions around generating art in the style of others, but open source data for these models seems an important place to start.

delightful drawings using shadows of real objects to complete them

Ethics of the theft of artistic style.

great write up of working through some prompts and backgrounds used for some drawings. For some reason I particularly liked how they added birds

Can search queries be considered creative input?

Incredible project

And the post itself

lot of the typical "a computer made it so it can't be art" takes in there that I really can't get behind. Let them help make things!

I have watched this scores of times

"The idea that decentralization of infrastructure equals decentralization of power is a trap

maybe a thing to try out this year

His projects website is coooool. So many awesome things.

Awesome to watch. Goes quickly from looking doable to looking ridiculous. After all the landscape detail the man & dog are basically a footnote

Some amazing sounding experiences

This is beautiful. Also little bit of history in the replies - this is apparently a public kitchen shared by multiple people, who would then eat in their own rooms.

I too have a lot of issues with this. What if your file moves? What if the file is fake? What if URLs change? What if servers shut down? Startups shut down or disappear all the time. And even if they don't people don't tend to do backwards compatibility anymore. This is a whole new and expensive consequence to link rot.

Short version:

The NFT token you bought either points to a URL on the internet, or an IPFS hash. In most circumstances it references an IPFS gateway on the internet run by the startup you bought the NFT from.

Oh, and that URL is not the media. That URL is a JSON metadata file

I still have no idea what is going on with all this.

What’s interesting is that Beeple, the creator of the artwork, is actually a business partner of Metakovan’s. He owns 2% of all the B20 tokens. I’m sure there is no conflict of interest here

NFTs as a recruitment tactic for some non-nerd advocates of crypto. The "what is digital ownership" section is legit - being digital and "on the blockchain" doesn't make things magically last forever. Many parts of it could disappear.

4. A few artists really are making life-changing money from this!
5. You probably won’t be one of them.

This aspect isn't particularly different from Spotify and similar.

oh wow I saved this link years ago and only just realised you can click to interact with the animation!!

I like the point that film music can't be overly specific - if it's too emotive in a particular way then it can overpower the film. The music should add something to a scene, but it shouldn't determine how people are going to react to it.
