One of the things that motivates Highlight is the potential to expand and decentralize the definition of Art That said, what makes art Art is usually a combination of strong skill (often technical), aesthetics (beautiful, challenging, etc), and concept If you think about those three lenses you can start to delineate

yes amateurs talk strategy while professionals talk logistics logistically, though, there are 97 levels of professional and those at level 97 talk the right logistics at the right time in the fewest words possible

Yep appreciate @mwiederrecht on this Not sold that “autonomous” must = goals; meaning is closer to “operates independently” The artist defines the goals

10/ This helped developers get fairly paid. This led to much better software, which in turn gave rise to the personal computer revolution. 35 years later, software has eaten the world, which wouldn't have been possible without this shift in value perception.

9/ So, Gates' letter helped shift the paradigm around the value of software developers' work. Before it, software was seen as a cheap output relative to tangible products like semiconductors & microcomputers.

8/ While today this feels quaint, at the time it was visionary. In 1976, software creation was mostly controlled by manufacturers who buried its cost in hardware pricing. A profit incentive would compel developers to innovate alongside step-changes in hardware, aka Moore's Law.

7/ The parallels here with digital artists today are striking. Replace ‘musician’ or ‘writer’ with ‘artist’ and you’re speaking to the movement underway with those of us who believe in ownership of digital art and culture

6/ He went on to declare that such rampant piracy was stopping developers like him from investing the effort needed to build quality software. He pointed out the blatant unfairness of getting access to his work—the output of his time, effort, & investment—without getting paid.
