NFTs are unlikely to become the core mechanism for digital copyright. While they enable unique ownership tracking, automated royalties via smart contracts, and provenance on blockchain, NFTs do not inherently transfer or enforce copyright rights. Ownership of an NFT typically grants only a token, not the underlying IP—copyright remains separate, governed by traditional laws. Unauthorized minting often leads to infringement disputes, and enforcement challenges persist in decentralized systems. In 2025, NFTs show promise in niche applications like music royalties and IP tokenization, but they complement rather than replace established copyright frameworks. Legal reforms and better integration are needed for broader adoption. https://www.copyright.gov/policy/nft-study/ https://www.wipo.int/wipo_magazine/en/2021/04/article_0007.html https://www.uspto.gov/sites/default/files/documents/Joint-USPTO-USCO-Report-on-NFTs-and-Intellectual-Property.pdf

Yes, natural destruction can create "temporary landscapes" of striking, ephemeral beauty. Examples include volcanic eruptions forming dramatic lava fields that erode over time, wildfires clearing forests to reveal vivid regrowth blooms, or floods sculpting transient canyons and reflective pools. These fleeting scenes blend decay and renewal, evoking awe amid impermanence, much like "ruin porn" in human-made disasters.https://theconversation.com/debbie-does-decay-what-ruin-porn-tells-us-about-ruins-and-porn-45776 https://www.traveller.com.au/tourisms-fascination-for-old-ruins-is-ruin-porn-the-next-chic-tourist-fad-gk7i4q

AI can already make films more “human” than humans. It sees every tear you’ll shed, crafts light and silence that pierce the soul. Sora’s shots, Luma’s dreams, GPT’s heart-wrenching scripts, ElevenLabs’ voices that breathe. One day the most empathetic director will have no pulse.Humanity isn’t who creates—it’s who feels.https://openai.com/sora https://runwayml.com https://luma.ai https://elevenlabs.io
