Or just straight-up stolen art. For every one artist selling NFTs of their own art, there are easily five NFTs sold by fraudsters misrepresenting themselves to have to right to do so.

Wasn't this the literally exact thing NFTs was supposed to prevent?

Yet nothing in NFT's prevent it. Even if every artist minted everything they ever post as an NFT it would not prevent it.

At most there would be a "first to file" authenthicity mechanism in the NFT storefronts like OpenSea.

No, NFTs serve no purpose. As far as use-cases go, they have none.

Nice to see PeerTube out in the wild. PeerTube is a software application that implements the interoperable social networking standard, ActivityPub: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PeerTube What this means is if you have an account anywhere on this network, say a Mastodon account, you can interact with the video directly. It's a system that works a lot like how email addresses work (that is, a federated social web). las…

The funny thing is, ActivityPub is vaguely under the banner of the Semantic Web. Which, at one time, was sometimes called, semi-jokingly... Web 3.0.

I don't think I'd be so gentle. It is one of the most cringe-worthy things I've seen in quite some time. Makes the crypto space seem like it's entirely inhabited by morons and fools.

if your industry segment is populated with a theoretical 5 to 10% of vociferous morons and fools, it tends to paint everyone else with the same brush.

5-10% is very generous

That's because it basically is. I'm pretty involved in the cryptocurrency space and I haven't found a single person outside of the memecoin get rich types (see "Shiba Army") that thinks this is a good idea or seriously viable in any real way. Honestly I can do nothing but hope that the craze around cryptocurrency dies down so that these types go back to other get rich quick schemes and leave the actual researchers, e…

They eventually removed the request, but there was a group that wanted to create a blockchain utopia (smartcity) north of Reno, Nevada. https://www.rgj.com/story/news/politics/2021/10/07/blockchai...

Another group actually bought a cruise ship, the Satoshi... a fascinating story.

I saw it more as Epstein's island, but on the blockchain.
