No. The Grandfather Paradox[0] says nothing of the kind:

   The consistency paradox, commonly known as the grandfather paradox, occurs 
   when the past is changed in any way.[5] The paradox of changing the past 
   stems from modal logic: if it is necessarily true that the past happened in a 
   certain way, then it is false and impossible for the past to have occurred in 
   any other way, so any change to the past would be a paradox.[13] Consistency 
   paradoxes occur whenever any change to the past is possible.[6]
   
   A common example given is a time traveler killing their grandfather before 
   their parents' conception, thus preventing the conception of themselves. If 
   the traveler were not born, they could not kill their grandfather; therefore, 
   the grandfather proceeds to beget the traveler's ancestor who begets the 
   traveler. This scenario is self-contradictory.[5] One proposed resolution for 
   this paradox is that a time traveller can do anything that did happen, but 
   cannot do anything that did not happen.[5] Another proposed resolution is 
   simply that time travel is impossible.[14]

Sorry I spoke quickly. I meant the twin paradox and reached for the wrong label

The ones who behave that way don’t last long enough to be witnessed by new civilizations like humanity, hence the darkness

And then there’ll be a customer AI that haggles with their AI to lower the cost. And then PayPal will buy the customer AI startup and make deals with sellers to raise prices and share a cut. How dumb and annoying these extra layers of obfuscation over normal life will be.

I saw a Brilliant job posting the other day. I was thinking of applying to work there. I randomly saw this comment, and now I won’t. So thanks for the heads up.

I imagine it's not inconceivable that at very high dimensions and with the right architectures stochastic compression can be unexpectedly efficient. It would be strange if the end result of AI research is realizing we're solving a compression problem (and that our brains do too).

They don't want people in the US to travel outside the US so they probably see it as a positive if other countries put up more deterrents.

> "The main issue was whether or not something had to be directly perceptible (meaning intelligible to an ordinary human being) for it to be a "copy."

Why doesn't the same argument apply to a CD? or an MP3?

> “This case was subsequently eclipsed by Congress's intervention in the form of an amendment to the Copyright Act of 1909, introducing a compulsory license for the manufacture and distribution of such "mechanical" embodiments of musical works.”

A CD and MP3s consist of recorded performances. A player piano roll contains the instructions for a performance, basically a transcription of sheet music, or a recording of someone performing a work. (Didn't read court findings for scope.)

Works (sheet music and lyrics) and recordings (committing it to media or storage) and performances can be distinctly copyrighted and separately licensed. But a CD track represents all 3 of those put together through “sweat of the brow”, usually by multiple parties.

Not strictly true. Player piano rolls were not made by mechanical transciption; a human actually played the music into a recording device (at least towards the end of the era). Because of this, we have a "recording" of Scott Joplin playing one of his rags. Dynamics are not preserved, but actual timing is.

From what I remember, not that far from Peter Wiggin's character in Ender's Game?

Unfortunately this future seems unavoidable.
