Disney and Universal Sue A.I. Firm for Copyright Infringement

  Disney isn’t fighting for the little guy. They will still agressively use it to cull their own workforce. They want to control who can use it and don’t want to compete against an indie animation scene.

  This is corporate AI against open source AI.

    This is corporate AI against open source AI.

    Show me where I can download Midjourneys full model to run it locally and then we can agree to call it “open weights”. Unless their base model and training data is also available, it’s not open source.

      These lawsuits set precedents. The laws will apply to midjourney as much as the open source, but the big players can buy the data.

  It’s hard to feel sympathetic for Disney when they have more money than god.

    In this case that's exactly what we need, someone with more money than god that can set precedents to protect the authors and artists that need it the most.

      So you’re saying copyright and patent laws only exist to help rich people?

      I guess that would make all of the workers defending them ‘useful idiots’ then.

      I understand. That being said, my feelings remain mixed.

    And they just fired Terry Moran for the mildest tweet critical of the current administration imaginable.

    I legit just cancelled my Disney+/hulu/espn account over it.

    They got that money because of strong enforcement of copyright protections.

    Without copyright laws, everyone could’ve just shared Disney’s shit without fear of repercussion and they would have billions less while we collectively have billions more.

    Hey man, the only people who can challenge the new oligarchs, so it seems, are the old oligarchs. And I say: let them fight!

    There are solid gold or platinum asteroids out there, but God only gave us the resources of earth in the bible.

    So God is definitely richer than Disney.

    Nvidia can do a hostile takeover of Disney if they wanted to

  You know the timeline is absolutely fucking fucked when you want Disney to win a copyright lawsuit. 😬

    We actually don’t. This won’t kill AI, this will mean only conglomerates like Disney can own AI.

    I dunno, we’ve seen corporations come at each other many times before.

    Most of you people won’t understand this, but copyright and patent laws aren’t going to be around forever. They don’t help the working class and it’s only a matter of time before new generations rise above our tunnel vision.

    • Kolanaki@pawb.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      It’s just ironic because Disney is directly responsible for why copyright is so fucked up now.

  This could be the first sign of AI bubble bursting.

  Very interesting time to be a lawyer.

  I’d say do it more… generate more star wars media until Disney gives it up as a golden goose to milk. Doesn’t matter if it’s ai or whatever fuck disney…

  This is gonna be interesting. I really hope Disney wins. Then any artist can take this as a template to file their own lawsuits.

  • a_wild_mimic_appears@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    when disney wins there will be nothing left to sue, with the result that now the entertainment industry, which has the available training data, will also have the AI technology, and the only one who profits is disney - because in this situation all open source GenAI is fucked.

  It begins.
