"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.

This will only end badly. And I mean racist Goofy meme videos targeted to children badly.

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.

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

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] BCOVertigo@lemmy.world 69 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 32 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

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.

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

It is both wild and infuriating. Any on-hands creative now have a good reason to be outraged at the about-face.

[–] emerald@lemmy.blahaj.zone 60 points 1 week ago

Given Walt's own relationship with his animators this is actually very on brand

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?

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.

[–] Yeller_king@reddthat.com 13 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Peruvian_Skies@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"its characters" bitch half of your characters are just ripped off from fairy tales

[–] mtpender@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago

And the other half were just bought by them rather than their own creations.

[–] s@piefed.world 27 points 1 week ago

Now your kids can make their own completely unregulated Spider-Man and Elsa content at home

OPENAI, is seeking some poor sucker to hold the bag before the bubble burst. disney will regret it.

[–] jlow@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 1 week ago

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!

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

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.

all of disney+ catalog can be found on the high seas :)

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 week ago

This is how the bubble floats a little longer.

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 week ago

Conveniently, the AI models are probably already trained on Disney characters to begin with. Definitely a cash grab though.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 week ago

Well someone is getting nervous about Marvel’s future

I wonder if they're going to have special rules what you can and can't do with them.

[–] ReallyActuallyFrankenstein@lemmynsfw.com 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The first week after Sora was released, characters were shown doing all sorts of brand-unsafe things. OpenAI spoke with companies after that and created blocked term lists to prevent characters and certain interactions with them.

That is fairly coarse "limiting." However, user red-teaming still makes it possible to show copyrighted characters doing objectionable things. That will likely continue once this is released, unless they are doing something different (like having output be re-reviewed by a secondary AI system and actively exclude the output's description of negative portrayals rather than just user prompt terms).

Rule 34 anybody?

[–] DylanMc6@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 week ago

all monopolies should be split into different smaller companies which would then be given to the workers who would collectivize them. seriously!
