At the heart of our modern world lies an elegant yet fundamentally flawed concept: Intellectual Property (IP). It stands as a guardian, insisting that ideas can and should be owned and that this ownership must be legally protected. However, when scrutinized against the inherent nature of ideas, this model begins to show its cracks.

Introduction

To marry nostalgia with modern technology, I embarked on a journey to reimagine a classic novelty item - the Magic 8 Ball. This journey led to the creation of the Magic AI Ball, a project that pushes the boundaries of how we interact with AI and understand ownership in the digital world.

Art, a reflection of human creativity and imagination, has always been an evolving mirror of its time. From the rudimentary, ochre-tinted cave paintings of prehistoric times to the grandeur of the Renaissance frescoes and from the daring audacity of modernist abstractions to the immersive digital installations of today, each epoch has expressed its unique spirit through its dominant form of art.

Since the dawn of humanity, collective stories have defined our culture and enriched our understanding of the world; storytellers have been the driving force behind crafting these narratives. From the ancient myths and legends that shaped early civilizations to the contemporary science fiction epics that capture our imagination today, their creations have formed the backbone of our shared experiences. Yet, the Writers' Guild, the institution committed to nurturing these storytellers to create the most culturally relevant stories of our current time, finds itself in a precarious position. In the face of increasing corporatization, they have resorted to striking to reclaim the profits and creative control they believe they deserve. Corporate publishing giants have amassed the rights to nearly every culturally relevant intellectual property, leaving little room for independent voices. This article examines how decentralized collective storytelling experiences, fueled by AI and blockchain technology, can empower the Writers' Guild, allowing them to regain ownership of their stories and secure the future of storytelling.

George Orwell wrote 1984 as a warning to the world of what could happen if governments had absolute control. In 1948, Orwell was living in an era of great political unrest and upheaval, with oppressive regimes in power in much of Europe and totalitarianism on the rise throughout the world. He wrote 1984 to caution against such an authoritarian future and to raise awareness of government surveillance which he believed was becoming more pervasive. He hoped his novel would inspire readers to think critically about their own governments and how they were being governed.
