It challenges the idea that developers owe fiduciary duties, pointing out that it’s impractical (the remedies wouldn’t give tokenholders the outcomes they want), doctrinally unsound, and would have chilling effects on open-source development

Ok this is doubly unoriginal now, but the other place is falling apart and like a much sampled rare 70s funk record I need to protect my ip rights, plus it's Friday guys so here (again) is a thread on:

All it really highlights is his awful sense of humour. I’m sure there would’ve been way funnier things to do with it

What I especially like about Bluesky is that at least for now I’ve been able to engage with legal communities that I would’ve otherwise probably not connected with. Esp the legal academic circles to an in-house counsel seemed a bit distant.

Kudos for the legal starter packs and follow all!

Fair point. Wdyt is it possible to use the pure content without it involving personal data of the user (other than the risk there would be some in the mix)?

Feels a bit unintuitive if it wasn’t πŸ€”

Thanks for sharing! Wasn’t familiar with the concept of DPI, just hasn’t caught my eye before. Enjoyed this; feels good to get a reminder about the positives of tech for society (as it seems so much of the convo is pretty fear-driven)

The US financial regulatory system is one the most complex globally, so it’s a bit of a stretch to say there wouldn’t be overlap or inefficiencies. Not saying that this is the right way to go about the reform (I wouldn’t know), but pas years many jurisdictions have simplified by having less agencies

Really enjoying this tread and the responses people are sharing to this. Found a few articles I’d simply love to read β€” but alas, I’m not a scholar, don’t have access πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

I always anyway felt that preparing for in-person exams developed my knowledge and analytical legal skills far more than any essays. Think this is a positive

Why does it feel so hard to have normal conversations around tech regulation? Especially around emerging technologies like blockchain and AI.

Seeking answers by reading. Will keep you posted on any findings.
