    The article uses Kafkaesque and boy I cannot think of a better way to describe having to prove to platforms your voice is real because it had been stolen at such scale that people assume it is AI.

    There we are. A real-world impact to the technology we, as technologists, develop and speak/preach/mandate too-little IMO about how it should be used.

      You thinking this is an epiphany makes me feel you severely overlook the impact AI already has on the world, affecting everyone. This seems very minor in comparison.

      Has anyone done an employee-coöperative tech start-up?

        there exist a number of cooperatives. they mostly seem to do outsourcing/contract work. i suspect that they don't attract investors because the profit distribution would be different from the usual start-ups.

    Which countries legally protect one's likeness as one's IP? (Are you allowed to transfer it in them?)
