AI图像革命已经到来,而这将会影响到艺术家的收入。

在科技界,2022年可谓是人工智能之年。在过去的十二个月里,我们看到了人工智能艺术、工具、作家、音乐作曲家和基于人工智能的皮肤分析的爆炸式增长。

但毫无疑问,该领域的明星还得是AI图像生成器。在社交媒体上,由计算机创建的生动数字插图和简单的单词提示已经逐渐代替了普通照片。

目前我们已经可以在元宇宙中看到这项技术。今年早些时候,Mona推出了一款AI Material Designer(人工智能材质设计师),允许其平台上的创作者无需使用代码即可为对象创建纹理。

他们的CEO告诉The Block的记者:“我们正在积极致力于构建这些类型的工具并将其整合到我们社区的创作频道中。我们离用户能够在Mona中使用AI生成资产和整个世界已经不远了。”

然而,人工智能图像生成的接受度并不普遍。

上周,中国政府已有效禁止创建无水印的AI生成媒体。上上周,Adobe开始将AI生成的照片作为库存图片出售,而这一举动威胁到了创意人员的收入。艺术家们也对计算机生成的图像登上ArtStation的“探索”部分的顶部表示不满。

根据一些批判者的说法,AI图像革命已经到来,而这将会影响到艺术家的收入。

元宇宙中的仿冒问题

对使用元宇宙AI的一种新担忧是关于人们的照片可能会被操纵。

在一个令人担忧的案例研究中,技术杂志Ars Technica从一名志愿者的七张照片中创造了一个虚构的人。仅使用这个小数据集,他们就能够将约翰放入一系列不同的照片中。

这包括一张色情风格的照片、一套准军事风格的制服和一件橙色的监狱连身衣。虽然这些示例看起来有点恐怖,但更大的数据集或更复杂的AI可能会产生更多侵犯法律的图像。

然而,由于视频现在占据了互联网流量的大部分,元宇宙中最大的风险不在于照片。

近年来,随着像TikTok这样的平台迅速流行起来,真正的危险来自于完全逼真的元宇宙化身。

在一个奇怪的、反乌托邦的将来,这个由用户生成的视频组成的巨大矿山可以作为一个巨大的数据集。用于创建走路、说话的表现形式,无论出于何种意图和目的,都与真实的你无法区分。

诱骗人们与虚构的在线人物建立关系的虚假身份可能会发生险恶的转变。与其偷一两张照片,不如在虚拟世界中成为他们?

随着全球花费更多的时间在线,身份盗用正在增加。在美国,身份盗窃资源中心报告说,与2020年相比,2021年这一数字增加了36%。元宇宙平台将必须努力工作,以确保该问题不会在其人工智能驱动的虚拟世界中被放大。

AI图像VS创作者

对AI生成的艺术最常见的负面观点是它会严重影响艺术家的职业和收入。

有一位对人们使用AI艺术生成器不满意的艺术家是波兰奇幻艺术家Greg Rutkowski,在今年Rutkowski已成为AI图像生成器最受欢迎的灵感来源。

而其原因不难理解,他极具辨识度的风格已被用于各种游戏艺术作品,包括龙与地下城、索尼的地平线禁忌西部、育碧的纪元和万智牌。

9月,他向Technology Review反映了他的艺术被AI模仿所淹没:“这才一个月。一年后呢?我可能无法在那里找到我的作品,因为互联网将充斥着AI艺术……这令人担忧。”

对于元宇宙,整个商业模式可能会受到威胁。虚拟经济的新兴领域之一是数字时尚的兴起。已经进入NFT领域的知名品牌包括Burberry、Givenchy、Louis Vuitton和Prada。

5月,一款用于Robox的虚拟Gucci包的售价高于实物。然而,当可以使用文本提示和AI近乎即时地生产虚拟服装时,我们为什么需要数字时装屋?

Nevermined AG的创始人兼首席执行官Don Gossen认为,存在一个中间地带,大牌仍然可以提供灵感或发挥主导作用。

“在实践中,这可能类似于沃霍尔工厂,艺术家提供前卫的影响力,并可以监督‘工人’以该艺术家的形象创作作品。这需要在创作生命周期中完全透明,从灵感到生产再到销售,每个贡献和贡献者都在价值链中注册并正确归属。”

用AI推动创造力

尽管如此,我们不应该对AI驱动的内容创作如此失望,Kinetix联合创始人兼首席执行官Yassine Tahi说,Kinetix是一家允许用户为虚拟世界创建自定义AI生成表情的公司。

据他介绍,人工智能正在成为构建元宇宙的操作系统:

“对于元宇宙来说,生成式人工智能是一个让人难以置信的机会。对我们来说,它是最大的游戏规则改变者,将推动虚拟世界的采用和参与……好处是双重的:专业人士可以更快地迭代和构建新体验,用户可以扩展他们的技能组合并突然成为虚拟创造者。”

对于其他人来说,人工智能火车已经出站了,而我们的工作就是抓紧这个机会登上这趟列车。根据Decentraland基金会创意总监Sam Hamilton的说法,该技术可以并且应该被用于创造更好的元宇宙体验。

今年8月,Decentraland举办了自己的元宇宙艺术周。该活动以AI建模的建筑、AI诗歌朗诵以及使用该技术制作的营销视觉效果为特色。

“当用于创意产业时,如果使用得当,它可以提高生产力,但它不会取代人类艺术家。元宇宙中也会有很多AI作为NPC和支持机器人。我们已经有了文本到视频的功能,而文本到3D的模型显然会在体验构建方面加快速度。”

The "Impossible Triad" Is Fundamentally a Pseudo-Problem

The article argues that blockchain's fundamental limitation is not the scalability trilemma (decentralization, scalability, security), which has been largely solved, but the lack of **privacy** and, until recently, clear **legitimacy**. Blockchain is described as a slow, expensive, globally shared computer whose core value is censorship resistance and verifiability. While ideal for native digital assets like money (e.g., stablecoins), its default transparency acts as a **tax**, exposing all transactions and enabling MEV extraction, which deters serious institutional capital. Simultaneously, its permissionless nature created regulatory ambiguity. The piece contends that **privacy** is the missing critical feature. It rejects the false choice between total transparency and complete anonymity. Modern cryptography (like zero-knowledge proofs) enables **compliant privacy**: users can prove facts (solvency, KYC status, compliance) without revealing the underlying sensitive data (specific holdings, identities). This preserves auditability for regulators and eliminates the leak of financial information. With recent regulatory progress (e.g., the GENIUS Act) addressing legitimacy, adding default, provably compliant privacy becomes a pure upgrade. It transforms blockchain from a costly, public ledger into a confidential settlement layer, finally bridging the gap to mainstream institutional and individual adoption of on-chain finance.

Optical Chips: Collective Capacity Expansion

The global optical chip industry is experiencing a massive wave of expansion driven by surging AI data center demand. Major players across the US, Japan, Europe, and China are aggressively investing to ramp up production capacity. In the US, Coherent is expanding its 6-inch Indium Phosphide (InP) semiconductor fab in Texas, supported by CHIPS Act funding and a $2 billion strategic investment from NVIDIA. Lumentum is building a new factory for InP optical devices, and Nokia is scaling its advanced photonic chip packaging and testing capabilities. NVIDIA's investments aim to secure future supply of critical lasers and optical interconnect products for AI infrastructure. Japan's JX Advanced Metals, a leading InP substrate supplier, plans a multi-billion yen investment to increase its capacity 7-10 times, strengthening its grip on the crucial upstream materials market. In Europe, IQE and Tower Semiconductor settled a patent dispute and signed a multi-year InP epitaxial wafer supply agreement, highlighting that next-generation silicon photonics platforms will integrate high-performance InP components. STMicroelectronics and Sivers Semiconductors are also expanding silicon photonics production and partnerships. China is rapidly building out its domestic supply chain. Dongshan Precision's subsidiary, Source Photonics, announced a $12 billion project to expand optical chip and module production. Companies like Sanan Optoelectronics and Yunnan Germanium are scaling up InP chip manufacturing and substrate production, moving towards vertical integration from materials to modules. While debate continues around the exact future architecture—whether CPO (Co-Packaged Optics), NPO, or pluggables will dominate—analysts like Morgan Stanley argue the underlying driver is unchangeable: the explosive growth in bandwidth demand. This will inevitably increase the volume of optical engines, lasers, and related content per GPU, regardless of the final technical path. The competition for "more light" in the AI era has intensified into a global, full-chain capacity race.

Stablecoins Finally Find Real Yield: An In-Depth Look at On-Chain Reinsurance Re | A Conversation with Re Founder Karan Saroya

Stablecoin Real Yield Found: A Deep Dive into On-Chain Reinsurance with Re's Karan Saroya As stablecoin supply exceeds $170 billion, the search for sustainable, non-speculative yield intensifies. Re, an on-chain reinsurance platform, provides an answer: connecting stablecoin capital to the trillion-dollar traditional reinsurance market. Re operates as a regulated reinsurer, accepting stablecoin deposits as collateral to back US insurance companies. These insurers pay premiums, generating yield that flows back to on-chain depositors. Currently supporting 35 insurers and underwriting $500 million, Re projects scaling to over $1 billion soon. Key insights from a Bankless podcast with founder Karan Saroya and investor Avichal of Electric Capital: 1. **Uncorrelated, Real-World Yield:** Re offers stablecoin holders access to reinsurance returns (targeting 12-14%+), an asset class entirely separate from crypto or equity markets. 2. **Operational Efficiency via Smart Contracts:** Re replaces traditional, labor-intensive capital fundraising with smart contracts, allowing a ~12-person team to compete with industry giants. 3. **Regulatory Leverage:** For every $1 of collateral, regulations allow backing $5-7 in written premiums. This leverage amplifies returns from the underlying risk-free rate. 4. **DeFi Integration:** Depositors receive receipt tokens, which can be used in protocols like Morpho for "looping," potentially pushing yields to 18-20%+. 5. **The "DeFi Mullet" Model:** A compliant front-end (regulated reinsurer) paired with a decentralized back-end (smart contracts, DeFi capital markets). 6. **RE Governance Token:** Modeled on Lloyd's of London, the token governs the central capital pool's allocation, counterparty acceptance, and parameters. 7. **Real Economic Impact:** Capital funds real-world productivity (factories, clinics, businesses) via insurance, moving beyond crypto's internal loops. The discussion highlights a pivotal moment: DeFi's supply-side infrastructure is now met by real demand for productive yield, potentially kickstarting a flywheel where vast on-chain stablecoin capital seeks these real-world returns.
