does it matter?
were written by someone else
in other words, some % of the words in any book you read by author X
authors have editors.
for anyone who cases about the math (second sentence)
TDH Rate x [Multiplier] caps how much Fluid TDH there is
Base TDH + Fluid TDH = TDH
simpler
We should distinguish between 4 things:
XXXXX - fluid TDH generators - (fluid TDH generators, TDH emitters, TDH cells, ...)
YYYYY - TDH that can only be generated by a meme card - (base TDH, TDH, ....)
ZZZZZ - TDH that can only be generated by a fluid TDH generator -(fluid TDH, dynamic TDH, ..)
Meme Cards - YYYYY TDH generators
in everything in life
in all cases
but you are always paying for the meme
you are paying for the meme...
I’d recommend “The $12 Million Stuffed Shark”. It shows how authorship blurs when assistants produce the work, how factories sustain star artists, how brand outweighs craft, and how the real value often lies not in the object but in the name and the narrative around it
yes, that is the point. you are paying for the name that came up with that idea, executed, etc. you are not paying for: 'who prepped the paper", "who went to the Art Supply shop to buy the paint", "who brought coffee and bagels to the studio", "who held the brush" etc
But that's the point. You're paying for the name. If you're not getting the name then what are you getting?
same thing they said about Warhol
Reading the thoughts of art critic Avelina Lesper about Damien Hirst may open the door to a different thought.
i don't think anything important about Damien Hirsts' dot work was that he was especially skilled at putting a dot on a piece of paper
Depends what they are sold as.
if he designed an algorithm and had a plotter drop the ink, would you feel differently
Interesting... again. So no way to tell what is a 'real' Hirst and what was produced by an assistant? And no price difference? Doesn't feel quite right to me but I know nothing...
this is the real main reason I am 0% worried about this
in every direction: general social construction, science, journalism, real world contribution
so we need to go deeper
we will be awash in 'great imagery'
so this discussion is about to become completely irrelevant by events
you will be able to put a whole artist's work into an LLM and it will pop out 10 plausible pieces exactly in their style
sometime in the near future
this is all about arguing what horseshoes to put on your horse and carriage
anyway now in Related/Related, not Related/Unrelated
ahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Maybe the difference is in how well you know VM? For someone who has know him well for awhile, the level of ”help“ he would need is obvious. if you don’t know him well, it’s not. for example, I thought VM was a woman until this week FFS. 😂
but he does not make all of it himself
and his physical stuff is Hirst
of course
Interesting. Were they sold as 'a Hirst'?
beyond that fact that he said he got help, if he had said "he had not gotten help", my assumption would have been that he got it from GPT, not that we have suddenly uncovered the next Picasso
so it was always in my mind, a concept card, not "look how diligently VM has learned how to use ProCreate card"
i still have not understood why I should be upset that Dan made the image and not VM and his sister
i do not speak for the community, i speak for myself
it can do that
if that is what the community wants
maybe
is there different levels of policing this?
Sure, we can’t 💯 police it at the collection level, but is it bad thing if the community shows that they don’t approve/support lack of artistic attribution at whatever point it’s discovered ?
The discussion moves the expectation towards towards more transparency for social reasons. Nothing changes tomorrow, but I think it’s a good outcome if the result is that future submissions are more clear of artistic contribution.
the important thing is that it hits, using whatever mechanism you have at your disposal
I just don't think this is like a school homework assignment
I enjoy really cool BTS
don't get me wrong
Picasso was sitting in a café when someone recognized him and asked if he would draw them a little picture. He agreed, sketched something quickly on a napkin (sometimes the story says in just a few seconds), and then handed it over—but asked for a very large sum of money.
The astonished person said, *“But it only took you a minute!”*
Picasso replied: *“No, it took me a lifetime.”*

related/unrelated
what is the mechanism you will use to prevent the artist from using the advanced technique of "lying to you"
I don't think it matters but let's say everyone agrees that it matters and does active policing
I mean, to be super clear about my view
or that it matters
and i am not sure that I want to police such a thing
I am not sure how we can "police" such a thing
