Exile. Imprisonment. The end of elections. We know what tyranny looks like once it’s underway.

But how does it start? Like this:

Tyranny doesn’t happen overnight. Take it from the people who missed the first signs.

I keep thinking about this contention that we're in the Napster 1.0 era of AI. And how the end result of Napster 1.0 was that musicians ended up with a "legal" system where instead of their fans ripping them off, they ended up with multiple streaming services ripping them off for pennies.
My hunch is that 2024 will be the year when the AI industry is visited by the Ghost of Napster.

AI evangelists keep insisting that old copyright law is going to have to bend to accommodate new technology. They have that backward.

Why can I still not share Bluesky posts to people without accounts? No previews. A walled garden that forces you to take screenshots. Is that a philosophical decision?
