I think it's just people literally don't want their cheese to be moved.
And technology is the primary cheese mover in society.
And so it makes sense that people are very upset with tech people.
Is there a world in the future where all pieces of content can be on the blockchain and then when they're integrated into AI, you know where things are coming from?
Basically, a lot of it is what are the laws around it?
For a while, there's this idea that artists should be paid via things like Patreon, which I actually invested in.
I met Jack Conte and Sam Yam.
I think they were actually...
They were college roommates and one is a great musician and one is a great computer scientist.
How did they get the idea for a Patreon?
I think Jack had a band called Pomplamoose and he was on YouTube.
I think this was about when Kickstarter happened.
But Kickstarter had a problem, which is if you're running a band, you're not making products.
You're not making one-off things.
You don't want to sell a new T-shirt every week just to make money.
So he says, why don't we just do that?
