This will only end badly. And I mean racist Goofy meme videos targeted to children badly.
Fuck AI
"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Can't wait to see Lego Yoda: A Ketamine Story
I'd actually watch that.
Say what you want about Altman, he is a fantastic grifter. Instead of suing the shit out of his worthless hypebag bullshit machine “company”, they’re… paying… him… to license their characters…? These corporations have lost their goddamn minds for this snake oil
Disney needs to write off a billion asap. That's literally all I see. Invest in AI? You already lost money and you need a voided check.
At this point I genuinely believe OpenAI knows they're doomed. They are putting all their effort into these massive deals, trying to tie themselves to as many other companies as they can until they are "too big to fail". Then when they go bankrupt, trump won't allow the stock market to crash, so the government will step in and pay everyone out. Maybe these other companies are just trying to get in on the grift while they can.
I have read 0 facts about this, but I bet that the billion 'investment' is mostly just IP license values.
Oh, so the slop generator gets to use Disney's characters, but they'll sue a daycare for painting Mickey Mouse on the wall. I see how it is.
The mouse doesn't expect you to like it. The mouse expects you to endure it.
Disney is perhaps the one company on earth powerful enough to put AI companies on their place regarding all the copyright shit.
How fucking naive of me to not realize they'd join up instead
"its characters" bitch half of your characters are just ripped off from fairy tales
And the other half were just bought by them rather than their own creations.
This seems wild. This is the last thing I would have expected. Maybe Disney knows they stand no chance against AI and just want to profit from the doom it will bring.
I think it has less to do with their product and more to do with backroom executive bullshit manipulating stock prices, but that's just an armchair opinion.
I think their intent is to create a fuck ton of cheap AI media to flood Disney+ because even their shitty crap costs a lot to produce. If Disney can create content basically for free they could see a pretty big benefit.
Cutting paid animators out of animation has been the disney dream since Walt was still blowing Nazis.

Amen. Artist have always gotten treated like shit and Walt was a miserable prick to his workers.
It'll make the green line go up and that's all they care about. I completely agree that it seems they won't be able to do anything to stop it so they might as well try and make money from it.
They might change their tune once the slop video generators are pumping out officially licensed scenes of Elsa getting gang banged.
Elsa and Spiderman pregante
Could it be possibly that they’re pregonate?
Both of them preganate by each other
OPENAI, is seeking some poor sucker to hold the bag before the bubble burst. disney will regret it.
Given Walt's own relationship with his animators this is actually very on brand
Just executives milking their company for as much money as they can. They don't care for their brand. If it makes them money, they'll totally let Disney slide into an AI content slop hell scape. Ruining the reputation and quality of their product, then bounce with their severance and bonuses when stocks start to fall. Just to go off and do it all over again with another company.
What I don't get is how are they even milking their IP? They are paying OpenAi to use their IP (in exchange for equity in an unprofitable company).
I'd understand it better if Disney were getting a billion dollars.
They think they'll get to make movies without paying any writers, actors or directors and still make the same amount of money off them.
all of disney+ catalog can be found on the high seas :)
Now your kids can make their own completely unregulated Spider-Man and Elsa content at home
I love how this should be the other way round (the slop company paying the content "owners") but thanks to turbo capitalism the world get's fucked up in new disgusting ways every day!
God, I didn't think i could want OpenAI to crash even more than I already did!
I'm still very AI ignorant but why would disney go all in on AI when I can just tell my own AI to make up a "disney-like" movie for me and skip the middle-man (disney).
They have more lawyers than you
Why spend money advertising your old mouse when the kids will do it for you?
This is how the bubble floats a little longer.

Disney movies will be AI generated from here on out.
Think about it, simulating real actors or their voices has strings attached. Talking cats don't sue, or require wages.
Well someone is getting nervous about Marvel’s future
Rule 34 anybody?
Conveniently, the AI models are probably already trained on Disney characters to begin with. Definitely a cash grab though.
So now does this mean you can just say it was ai generated and you can't get sued by disney /s
I wonder if they're going to have special rules what you can and can't do with them.
