Yeah changes to copyright are the solution. Not unenforceable rules around AI.
Local LLMs are going to make enforcement impossible.
Unless corporations and government collude to lockdown the frame buffer, a user at home can build a corpus from their own gameplay footage and train an AI to make new environments for those entities (working on such a setup now, modeling AI vectors with an open source engine’s geometry primitives and shader language).
The output space for visual content is much smaller than language which has to understand context.
Visual outputs we find acceptable for forming spatial understanding are much more limited. There’s only so much nuance to geometry and color gradient to be layered on before a virtual space is an unintuitive psychedelic miasma.
People have favorites and will use them to extend them.
The Constitution offers an opening for copyright change. It protects works “for a limited time”. Anything encumbered by copyright for an average person entire life span was effectively copyrighted forever.
I grew up without TV and learned all the things to keep my mind occupied. The ones I spend most time on:
Woodworking
Playing music (guitar, piano, sax, drums, and Audulus 4)
Programming (started around 90 in qbasic)
Gardening (simple stuff these days, herbs and peppers, tomatoes; I make a lot of sauces to add to meals)
Engine repair (started with tractors, now I just fix small engines)
Building building (just built a greenhouse for friends; designing mine now)
Logic circuit design (EE started in motherboard design as a career, switched to software as hardware went overseas)
I went deep on all these at various points. Anymore really only spend enough time on them throughout the year to keep a connection, muscle memory.
If I had to recommend any I’d say gardening and music.
Learning a musical instrument fosters connectivity between both sides of the brain in a way no other skills based learning does[1]. I credit musical instrument skills for the abundance of creative energy I feel. That I spend time on daily or I feel depressed and “off”.
And a fresh sauce makes boiled potato taste like Michelin star cuisine.
