Creativity and innovation always build on the past. The past always tries to control the creativity that builds upon it. Free societies enable the future by limiting this power of the past. And ours is less and less a free society.

EDIT: Overall it's a good talk and I agree with the practical proposals, but ...
Well this is disappointing. Lessig's 2024 TED talk not only frames generative models as artificial minds using instrumental rationality, but presents them as being better at using it than humans;

Has he really been drinking the Kool-aid, or is he leaning into a popular perception as a means to an end? Either way, not great.

Money talks in the world of copyright legislation, and that’s a big problem for ordinary Internet users
Copyright has always been about money. That’s why the copyright industry fights so hard to strengthen legal protections, in order to boost its profits. However, getting detailed information about how much money is involved, and who receives it, is hard, because there are so many small pieces to the overall copyright ecosystem. That makes a long post exploring money …

@jerry - Hey, would you be able to host Lawrence Lessig here on Infosec. Exchange?
Here's a sample for an upcoming XCorp post reaching out to get double the follower count for him on #web3 vs. #web2 at #XCorp. Feel free to give feedback / changes before I post later:
"Let's help 🆘 @lessig get double the followers on @mastodon vs. X .com for #activism's sake and for the #OpenWeb vs. #SortaOpenWeb / #ClosedWeb at #XCorp
Come on over to the #fediverse #OpenWeb #web3, to https://infosec. exchange #LawrenceLessig!"

"'[Brazilian officials] estimate that we spend a billion dollars every year in [software] licensing fees... If we shift to Free Software, we won't be pirates anymore, and we won't be spending a billion dollars anymore.'
... they see this as a way of escaping an extraordinary tax on resources... The government official said, they spend... 470 million dollars on poverty programs in #Brazil. Now, which do they need to be spending money on more?"

"It's a slippery slope, from free wireless to Karl Marx, and one hopes... that when we've woken up to the danger of the Red Menace here, we'll begin to attack the other areas of municipal government that are... themselves deeply communist. Have you ever thought about the free photons that spread down upon you as you walk through the city streets, and worried about the poor lighting companies that are driven out of business by the city..."

@alexwild @RichStein > rank-choice voting
#lawrencelessig would have had that problem sorted nearly a decade ago… and some states already implement ranked-choice voting, as I understand it, so it is really just the cowardice of Congress to make real progress that is stopping it.

@SusanHR some of us are appalled that anyone would compromise themselves by explicitly choosing evil. if you can’t vote your conscience, then something is very wrong with the system.

Just found a book with author signature from 17 years ago.

I just stumbled across a wonderful video series produced of my students again:
#LawrenceLessig inventor of #CreativeCommonsLicences asked what can be done to address the scarcity in access to information:
"The most important thing is that young people begin to rally together to tell their professors if they don't publish #openaccess: What the hell are you doing? Why don't you commit yourself to publish in a way that guarantees access for all?"

Jeff "never puts away anything, especially oven mitts" Cliff, Bringer of Nightmares 🦝🐙 🇱🇧🧯 🇨🇦 @[email protected] ·At various points, I've been met by confusion by people who have never heard of #permissionculture or #lawrencelessig. At one point, someone likened permission culture to the opposite of rape culture, as if having to ask permission to think, or to speak, or to consensually share information is somehow not conducive to rape.
This is the kind of thing that should, at least, make it clear that it depends *who* is required to ask permission for *what* in the right frame of mind that might clue women in that not all permission-gathering exercises are beneficial.

Kolmogorov Twitter
Twitter is what happens when interactions, low-latency, amplification, and images (memes are pretty much precisely cartoons of complex ideas) are cheap, while nuance, deliberation, and complexity are expensive. It drives all the intelligence from the discussion, absent very deliberate effort.
It’s also all plaza and no warrens. ...

@salixlucida #LawrenceLessig makes a pretty strong case for this here (although he's disciplined enough not to call anyone "useful idiots" ;)
