This is not important for the thread obviously, but this bit from that Caesura piece was disqualifying for me:
The lessons of the past have not been learned. Just fifteen years ago, we were all in a flurry about the democratizing potential of social media, especially after the Arab Spring, the liberatory trajectory of Second Life, and the liberating decentralization of post-Fordism/late neoliberalism, only to be embarrassed upon the discovery that populism does not lead to utopia, Second Life was a dud, and post-Fordism is largely responsible for current supply chain issues.
To be nitpicky, the Arab Spring began in 2010, Second Life in 2003, post-Fordism in the 1970s (or earlier depending who you ask), and "late neoliberalism"...well I'm not sure what that is trying to refer to, but if your main problem with post-Fordism is "current supply chain issues" you are a sociopath.
This is also nonsense:
The NFT phenomenon is a social, not technological, phenomenon emerging from the new money of the 21st century — the tech sector — working out its own culture and aesthetic tastes as an alternative to the self-critical or self-defeating aesthetic culture that has been dominant since the emergence of liberal society in the 19th century.
There are some solid points in the rest, but idk

I finally looked up the etherium NFT standard today. Turns out you don't even have to include an URL or a description.
"We remind implementation authors that the empty string is a valid response to name and symbol if you protest to the usage of this mechanism. We also remind everyone that any smart contract can use the same name and symbol as your contract. How a client may determine which ERC-721 smart contracts are well-known (canonical) is outside the scope of this standard."
That last sentence means, I think, that how you know the NFT is the One Official NFT is not in the standard.

correction: they do need to include an URI, which as of this year is always an URL.

second quote definitely is nonsense, ha. first quote, remember they're writing about the relationship between decentralization and digital art, not about the history of presidential administrations.

Yeah, I don't totally buy everything from that Rojas piece, but I thought it was pretty interesting.

not sure if you're kidding—sincere apologies if so!—but Fordism refers to Henry Ford (and his method of organizing production) not Gerald

What Is $OBEY?The Obey Giant project has always played with and explored concepts around consumerism, capitalism and value – both the value we place on things and the value placed upon things by others.

i've almost finished watching the "Line Go Up" video posted upthread. it's a very thorough, well-reasoned takedown. i'd like to see someone attempt a rebuttal, might look for one when i get through the rest of the video.

Idk if the community (if there even is one) would have the wherewithal to make a reasoned counter-argument for NFT.
The closest thing you might find is this guy, who is the equivalent of Elon Musk, but in crypto, explaining why he *doesn't* think they're worthwhile.
