I cancelled the body of work at my IP and Cybersecurity Blog here . I was chief editor from Summer 2022 to Winter 2024. I no longer believe that the law can solve problems. Even less in tech. So, as I removed all the 300 articles from the blog, I will be taking down almost everything in the form of text from this page, just give me a minute. Also, the metaverse got old embarrassingly fast. It was endearing during the pandemic, but we all know it was always bullshit to begin with. The metaverse can never replace physical biological life, three dimensions, 5 senses, pheromones, nature, sorry. Don't pay attention to any of my ramblings with respect to law or metaverse. Their only significance here is historical. The future is elsewhere.
ONLY OLD ARCHIVES HERE - Robots dream of morphing into humans to hack human emotion. A phenomenon known as Metamorphing.May 4, 2022 - Two examples of AI generated art from a sequence of words via CC12M . This cloud-based open-source generator IMHO beats older models like Eponym.
It takes a good machine (think M1) and a lot of patience because the AI is doing all the work. Human "skill and judgment" input is so extremely minimal that I could say with certainty that current IP frameworks have gone bye bye.
Opération: Dessine moi un mouton! In the first instance I asked the Art Generator to draw an impressionism style painting of a horse in a poppy field and in the second I wanted to see a cubism style lavender guitar. And then I waited for the frames to be generated. I did nothing else (other than interacting with the code). I was impatient to see the results of the first painting, so I stopped the process after 89 frames. In the second case, I let the generator run up to 150 frames.
March 31, 2022. Mixed Reality Cyber Couture lifts the barrier between virtual and physical realities. Here 3D fashion avatar is modeling wearable NFTs in three cities.
March 28, 2022. The first ever Metaverse Fashion Week was held on Decentraland Luxury Fashion District from March 24-27 and featured cyber-couture, virtual stores, NFT wearables, after-show parties and more by some 70 brands. No headsets required. Virtual fashion week not only democratizes high-fashion but also gives users the opportunity to experience with style, identity, body type, and gender.
In the meantime, Europe adopted the Digital Markets Act, paving the way for a new world where limits between systems and platforms will cease to exist. Interoperability is the way out of cyber-feudalism and into improved access to everything.
