Well this is utterly fucking nightmarish
Summary from tweet: Voice actors are increasingly being asked to sign rights to their voices away so clients can use artificial intelligence to generate synthetic versions that could eventually replace them.

I'm not explaining it very well, but I just wanted to emphasize how much I just didn't understand what a ... meaty pile of muscles the eyes really are, and how they can get worn out and screwed up just like any other muscle in your body, just literally by spending too much time looking at something.
The opaqueness of their nominal function to your mind is so perfect that we think of eyes like a glass lens with a default state, but your eyes don't resolve anything useful when inert. They are a system of muscles in counter tension pulling your eye's geometry into the required shape at all times. Sight is a thing of active maintenance, and their unconscious maintenance will fall apart without some conscious maintenance decisions. Here, most importantly, adequate sleep and limiting close focus.

@garethpotter @NanoRaptor yep. Goteks. They act as a floppy drive, but load disk images off a USB stick.
People worry a lot about losing knowledge — about "burned-down libraries".
Comparatively few people seem to worry about what happens if you take a billion books full of auto-generated, often-untrue junk text and *add* them all to the library.
In theory, nothing is lost. In reality, everything is lost, because nothing useful can now be found.
there are a lot of problems still to solve with rapunzel. collaborative reputation management is a key one.
but i have thoughts on what that might look like: https://ariadne.space/2022/12/03/building-fair-webs-of-trust-by-leveraging-the-ocap-model/
ring logs are:
- cryptographically attested logs which can be forgetful. e.g. they can support a quota, where old data is evicted from the ring log to make room for new data.
- merkle trees in the same way git repositories are merkle trees (e.g. messages are like git commits)
- optionally witnessed by trusted notaries: this is intended for people who want to reduce trust in the ring log storage providers they choose, by ensuring that the ring log provider is serving them the same data as the witness.
@bobbyd0g Has a good view on the local bridge
Some strings attached, though.
