I've been pondering this the last couple of days, as long as I don't see a flood of AI art I think it's fine for now, though I might change that opinion any day now.

I love this so much

So here's the problem with that idea: it means that you would need to keep the entire IP system operating and add more layers on top of it. For example, you would still need to file patents, it is just that the way that it is monetized by the creator would change.

This means that you still need the same amount of money to keep doing what we've been doing, then you need more money because if things like pixiv uploads are eligible you need way more people to track way more things.

Then you have to actually assess performance of a given thing, be it number of streams / downloads / units sold / etc, meaning that we have to basically track everything happening in the entire economy as well as the entire internet.

Sounds like a bureaucratic black hole to me, but I will grant you that if it was feasible it would probably lead to more innovation.

One thing I will add to the end here is that the current IP laws specifically are currently ridiculous, fuck Disney.

Okay give me this mythical system that rewards first discovery without those ‘made up concepts’

(By the way whatever you type next is a made up concept by your own definition just so we’re clear)

I see what you are saying but it’s somewhat different from resource scarcity. There is no scarcity in the ability to transmit information, but there is still information scarcity.

However, what makes information still valuable is the difficulty of first discovery. It costs money to go on the ground in a war zone and find out what’s happening, and if nobody did it, we just wouldn’t know.

This doesn’t even factor in the costs of filtering through misinformation and disinformation.

Edit for clarity / sentence structure

We do not live in an post information scarcity society. Also information doesn’t work like electricity, so even if we did this is still stupid.

I’ve never played monster train, but inscription has a little more going on than just a roguelite. I don’t want to spoil anything, but depending on if that sounds interesting to you, that may be the answer to your question.
