I dont understand how techbros cant see the difference between the provenance of a digital file and the provenance of a physical object in physical reality?
A file remains the exact same at all times and can be transferred or copied nigh instantly, it doesnt change in hue or pick up a unique flavour from the type of hard drive its stored on, it doesnt get stinkier. There is literally no purpose to its provenance because you can get the identical thing with literally no hassle.
As opposed to a real object which has to move through space with physical transportation, which based on this transportation and storage will change and become unique or harder to replicate without an equivalent process in time and space. Christ I swear these are the kind of people that think you could be uploaded to the internet and it would be just like the real world except shiny and neon, absolute baby brains, theres no other way you could find people who dont understand the difference between physical limited reality and digital formats and files.
But surely they must understand what physical space and reality is? Surely no one can be so indoctrinated into bullshit economics and capitalism that they think they can just transplant factors of physical reality into digital space and think it works the same because its just a product?
Ditching that fancy "provenance" word whatever it means; paying an artist for their work and the copyrights of it makes sense, but this is not that.

Read society of the spectacle. I didn't understand it but maybe I will and I bet it will be relevant :very-smart:
I don't think it matters. I'm pretty sure it's just a get-rich-quick scheme, they don't really believe in the NFTs themselves, they believe it will gain in value because it's crypto-related and they will become crypto milionaires. It's a gold rush, everyone wants to be the first one to adopt the next bitcoin before it blows up and be set for life.
I think a lot of them do, they're just desperately hoping other people don't, so they can sell their license to brag about having paid twice the average worker's paycheck to say they own a jpg for 10 or 100 times what they bought it for.
Is there anything stopping me from making an NFT that just steals the art from a bunch of other NFTs
Yeah I thought of that I'm just curious how copyright law interacts/protects NFTs lol
Like the original art would be protected, but the NFT is supposedly a representation of data which wouldn't I don't think.
Does copyright transfer with "ownership" of the NFT? If so is it separate from the original art? If not then would the original creator still hold that control over the market? What are you even buying then?
I could imagine this going to court and a judge just stroking out trying to deal with it.
An NFT in itself doesn't affect copyright although one could imagine a license agreement involving an NFT. That would however be completely up to what the parties involved have agreed on. At the end of the day the important thing is what was agreed, not what cryptographic fad was attached to the agreement.
For complex matters, judges can sit back and let the lawyers put forward submissions and base their judgement on whichever of those they prefer.
It's like a comic book or an action figure. You can reprint an issue of Spiderman a million times, but the nerds who collect them only care about the Official First Print in the Wrapping etc.
I once held an old piece of wood worth over $300,000. That piece of wood was also held by Babe Ruth, which is what made it "worth" that. "Collectibles" anything is such a weird market.
But it's the age, condition and rarity of physical items like (comic) books, coins or stamps that makes them valuable, none of which are a factor with digital files
Unless you have a jpg that's been compressed a billion times like an image macro from 2009
With JPGs it's the 1s and 0s that "prove" you had "the best one".
The image itself is basically irrelevant. NFTs are basically just Shitcoins with unique stampings, maybe like buffalo nickels or those wheat pennies is a better analogy than comic books. Or video game characters skins.
Valuable to collectors. We're talking about value to tech bros, which has literally zero basis in reality
Collectors don't care, they just want a complete set of whatever they collect. Speculators care, because they want the best possible price.
Look into the idiotic concept of slabbing and grading comic books, which makes them unreadable, destroying the literal function they were created for, but somehow preserving their "value".
Collectors aren't the people that care about that, they're just trying to have things complete for OCD/sentimentality/preservation reasons.
stolen valor, but for neolib techbros and pussy-getting social credit
Showing digital receipts for gold foil trollface jpgs to women at parties
putting their shitty nft lion as your own avatar and replying to all their tweets calling them a loser
Weren't NFTs on their last legs like a couple of weeks ago? What's with the bounce back?
Microsoft gave away some NFTs with the launch of Windows 11 lol
Here's your piece of shit operating system and as a bonus we're throwing in a .jpeg!
Microsoft describes its Windows 11 NFT as a “one-of-a-kind cryptographic token that lives in your digital wallet and unlocks valuable experiences and rewards.”
:so-true:
Let's get hentai coin going. A crypto and NFT system based off valuable rule 34 works, the first bee movie rule 34 ever on the internet is going for $500 million.
We can even have our own scandal wherein the artists of these works never see any profit and instead it goes to some hedge fund.
it's the same pump-and-dump shit that proliferated in the 1920s where they shill buy their own shit to try to prime the demand pump
beeple's big sale was the same garbage iirc
NFTs are like some weird offshoot of cookies and DRM ... but on BLOCKCHAIN
and they really don't do anything but say "wallet X owns this pointer to a thing"
like some fintech dork wanted to blockchain their achievements so no one else could 'own' them
I think we like shitting on them so hard because they are such a clear example of how much 'ownership' is just abstractions all the way down
You can also register that screenshot on the blockchain! https://openpuddle.io/about
Holy shit that FAQ. Just openly admitting that their "ownership" model is complete horseshit and is often completely wrong, despite that being the entire reason they exist.

I've heard about NFTs wasting electricity. Is OpenPuddle environmentally safe?
Our platform currently relies on one (1) NGINX server and one (1) Node.js server, so energy usage per transaction is minimal, but our team is looking into ways to improve this. By 2022, OpenPuddle will torch one (1) acre of grassland for every transaction on the platform.
That's about where it goes really noticeably off the rails, yeah. Good site, though, lmao.
instruction unclear, lambroghini? lambogrini? lamebraingini?
the car, is now 3/4s up own ass please advise
