      This is what makes it so disgusting to me. They will go after smaller creators for copyright but parter with the big offenders and let them carry on

      Don’t worry, they’ll now start suing every other AI company for not being licensed. Then probably OpenAI later on when they inevitably fail to add guardrails to protect their image.

    Partnering with an AI company is actually only mid-level evil when it comes to Disney

    Tinfoil hat conjecture here, but I think that they had some large language model previously for all of their movies. Because to believe that people are incapable of making scripts which are this formulaic, generic and meaningless this consistently.

      Yeah the idea that Disney wasn’t already building their own AI shit to just pump out trash content, especially to improve costs on voice acting and render farms is pretty wild. What’s happened at this point is

      1. They’re worried about the bubble collapse, when a ceiling is reached that there’s no way this is more profitable
      2. They don’t have the time/money to fund bigger and and bigger server farms in an increasingly competitive space and it’s cheaper to just align with OpenAI for now.
      3. They’re hoping when number 1 happens they just scoop up number 2. People will stop using AI for their daily life stuff. People won’t stop taking their kids to see the lion king 9 or whatever

      Considering that’s an urban legend with as much validity as his frozen head, yes. This is lower than the imaginary thing.

        How dare you think critically of anything that is dogmatically accepted as truth on the internet

    I am not sure it is even in the top ten.
    My favorite was the ‘video vault’. They would stop selling princess moves for a time, but before they stopped they had ads on kids shows saying it was the last chance to own the movie.

    My theory is that they realized it was going to happen whether they liked it or not, and going along with it seemed more profitable than trying to fight it in court.
