SY and Jason are true visionaries!! Story are building a very important project. Very excited for the future of Story

[toolsdrummer]

Next time I’d lead with what the product is, how it works, why it’s different or revolutionary, etc.

20 minutes of why the founders are great not only looks like you’re hiding the product, but viewers don’t care about the founders until their product is a success. It’s not compelling storytelling to tell me why a random person is building something which may or may not work.

Saying something can only be solved by blockchain is a perquisite to failure.

Always great ideas, never grand in their application

I can't tell if this video is parody and everyone is in on it.

[shanecb]

Love this. People changing the world because they see a different world.

[endoGame]

after watching this I feel a lot more motivated as an aspiring artist as now I know there are people like SY and Jason trying to create a more creator friendly world

[abdullah-khan]

Thanks EO for sharing the documentry. A million dollar channel for aspiring entreprenuers.

[nakulgoel]

I know Jason. I am telling you, this man is a professional. He is philosophy first, action second. Build on top of story asap, before they get too big to reply.

[HiKnowledgeseeker]

This is great, I also was dwelling on this idea after I was creating hundreds of million viewers by taking other people's content and putting my own spin on it, I came up with certify Content, I created a pitch deck back in early 2023 and it was also built on the blockchain creating IP licenses platform monetization and live data reports. I didn't end up continuing because I didn't have a place to explore the idea more in New Zealand here . I will definitely be checking out story

[abdulmalikbaruwa]

This is a awesome app. Solves a lot of copyright problems.

[publicalias]

Clearly they've put a lot of thought into this, it's not just another startup looking to cash in.. this feels very artist/creator friendly giving back the power over IP many were angry was taken with this new generative AI.

[eshwarprasad]

It's a really interesting idea, but here is some healthy scepticism:
- Let's say I want to make a movie. I liked character 1 from artist 1, world 1 from artist 2, etc.
I have "N" worlds, characters and plots. It becomes a bit too tedious to handle all these "lego" blocks. Plus if character 1 has Robot aesthetics, and world 1 is Ghibli-esque, I can't simply dump in Robot 1. I need to make it fit with my world.
Downside is I might end up paying a LOT of money for N artists, more than the money I pay for hiring a small team of artists.
But there is an upside as well - it's "free to start" - I don't need to hire an artist, I can use their IP and use AI to modify the world. The smart contract will handle the payment anyways if the mode is royalty based and if I get some Ad revenue. Still feels a bit weird
- Copyright is a hard problem to solve. If I'm an artist, I can copy and tweak the drawings offchain
The best example is Palworld and Pokemon. You can't easily detect infringement of IP in this scenario. Heck, I don't think we can do anything in real world as well. But this might affect your platform revenues if a large chunk of users simply copy, tweak and paste.

[sygad]

interviews like this restore my faith in human intelligence and creativity, thank you EO for making and sharing this story.

[rollss]

I can indeed attest to the remarkable qualities of this individual, yet I sense an undercurrent of resentment in the narrow judgment being expressed. I affirm the paramount significance of logical discourse and effective marketing over sheer quantity.

[andrewlee]

Someone finally creating what we all thought blockchain and nfts were going to do. Go story

[shivangraisurana]

this is an incredibly well shot video.

[we_rebel]

I have an overwhelming feeling that we either protect Intellectual property or it goes to zero. 12:36 I had the exact same conversation with my team when we got started only we were talking about transformers. 😂
