I don't know... I feel brains are in short supply around Musk.

I see what you mean. Perhaps cold calling would be a better example then, where it is illegal if it is automated.

Pleases the gods' ego when they see they can make their followers do anything for shits and giggles.

Scale makes a difference, but it shouldn't make a legal difference w.r.t. the legality of the activity.

What do you think the difference between normal internet traffic and a ddos attack is?

You can't just use Capitalism to wash your hands of every amoral action. I mean... clearly you can, but you shouldn't. The fact that fair compensation is impossible is literally the reason why ai is getting (rightfully) shit on by so many people. The fact that huge vc funded corporations went "yeah we needed a lot of data, but it would have cost us way too much to get it ethically so we just swiped it" is disgusting and the reason ai should be shut down. It's so weird to me that so many anticapitalists have been enthralled by ai when they are made by huge companies that are profiting from work they stole... literally the capitalist wet dream. How exactly is that fighting against Capitalism?

Why do you feel you're owed the work of people who have spent those years without compensating them or even asking for that matter? You do realise that is unsustainable right?

Only the capitalists have access to creating stuff? You do know you can just put in the practice and get good right?

Yep, totally correct. History is totally not full of artists creating despite their genius not being recognised socially and economically and dying poor and isolated. Clearly, the only way to stimulate artists is monetary compensation.

For sure, if I've found my way here I'm sure loads of others will too.

I'm pretty much in the same boato but a lot of the communities just don't have critical mass on lemmy yet :/

I believe that it is possible for the creator of nfts to get a percentage of sales so maybe they could create a system that is still profitable for the company and player friendly.

So just like hearthstone dusting? That system lead to rampant power powercreep to ensure that people would still be incenvised to buy new packs and not just coast on the free packs. Though if my memories of yugioh are still relevant powercreep (and very liberal use of banlists) is sort of already baked into the original game.
