20:16:49 From  Tony Parisi

20:17:22 From  LASig Chapter

20:22:29 From  Rubén Möller
    the crazy days of Flash Web design, that was a blast. This Web3 is unhinged in the same way no?
20:24:12 From  Tony Parisi
    Thank god Ruben
20:24:13 From  Tony Parisi
    yes
20:24:25 From  Rubén Möller
    Like RealEstate, kids are priced out of the tech.
20:24:51 From  Rubén Möller
    they can't afford the right gear.

20:28:01 From  Joan Collins  to  Hosts and panelists:
    Thank you, Jasmine!

20:28:50 From  Rubén Möller
    true, that's when big biz takes the reigns and slows it all down for profit.

20:29:48 From  xray X
    Whatever I think AI will be, I am wrong.

20:30:01 From  Gerardo Javier Kuri
    Would be interesting to plot some "S-curves" to know where each technology related to the metaverse is...

    Creators might have fun and like to do things for free, but they still have to pay the rent or better - the mortgage!

20:34:06 From  Tony Parisi
    I love that, Fran

20:34:25 From  Rick Hernandez

20:34:58 From  Jenny Dana  to  Hosts and panelists:
    Does AI eventually fold in on itself as AI gets trained on AI content rather than original content?

20:37:39 From  Manish Singh Sunar
    hi Jasmine, how I can connect with you? can I get your twitter handle.

20:41:34 From  Rubén Möller
    I still get stuck on the fact that open source is open source... how do you curb the exploitation.. send a block chain to halt all activity? isn't that ransom ware? seems the metaverse is  going to be a member only  club, maybe?

20:43:09 From  xray X
    This guy used ChatGPT to clone BeatSaber in Unity... He does already know Unity, but everthing was cut/pasted from ChatGPT...
    
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-gljfPBw9w

20:43:19 From  Tony Parisi
    whoa

20:45:06 From  xray X
    The laws are so far behind...
    I think eventually there will be a blanket declaration that output from a trained model does not infringe copyright.
20:45:55 From  LASig Chapter
    Laws are always far behind advancing technology. Nothing new there. The problem is how to fix that.
20:47:11 From  Jenny Dana  to  Hosts and panelists:
    Work within companies you are restricted by their legal teams, but individuals don’t have those handcuffs.  So interesting dynamics in the short term.
20:47:21 From  xray X
    Japan has declared that using datasets for training AI models doesn't violate copyright law which opens up the doors for massive adoption of the tools.
20:48:04 From  xray X
    *see "Data Narcissism"
20:50:59 From  Gerardo Javier Kuri
    That's great!

20:52:01 From  LASig Chapter
    Wired article last week for ChatGPT & Minecraft: https://www.wired.com/story/fast-forward-gpt-4-minecraft-chatgpt/
