Does anybody else eat sandwiches with mayonaise and slices of meatloaf?

With AI in the picture there's no longer the barriers to entry that allow studios and professional content creators to exist. People can directly generate the content they desire without having to spend millions of dollars or spend years learning how to draw I consider a sellout/hack to be any...

IP law stifles creativity more than it encourages it. This movie could easily be made for real, and the only thing stopping it is an outdated censorship law.

They also valued freedom of speech and of the press, but I guess making money is more important? As an aside, I value free speech as well. More that I value vulgar things like businesses or the job market. And more that that I believe that people should have the right to own their culture. Our...

The law is immoral. You've fallen victim to the fallacy of argumentum ad legem Why would anyone possibly need their studio, or any other, now that this technology exists. Every movie studio is now obsolete

I don't care how much it damages the IP holder. You're not entitled to be able to make a living as a content creator. You're entitled to be abke to try - just like you're entitled to try to make a living as a blacksmith or a lamplighter or an elevator operator - but you're not entitled to have...

I'm not talking legally, I'm talking morally. I know that IP violation is illegal, just like lots of other harmless and innocuous things. Hell, at the federal level even marijuana is still illegal. Just because something's illegal doesn't mean it's bad; the correlation between "illegal" and...

The first argument is outright false in most cases; if someone downloads the music of Metallica it's generally to listen to it or to train an AI, not to present themself as Metallica. As for the second argument, what money that they had do they no longer have after you make a copy? The idea...

That's not even remotely similar. Identity theft entails both fraud and depriving someone of money and assets that they already had, whereas IP violation entails neither. The only way that it might almost be equivalent would be if someone opened a credit card in another person's name, but never...

The Sewer Heist There's an old Italian saying, "Money is the devil's s**t". What if that were literally true? In this adventure the characters will do a heist/raid of a combination sewage-treatment-plant/smelting-facility/coin-mint in Hell, where the poop of devils is refined into gold coins...

There is NO moral entitlement to be able to monetize things. Never! At the absolute most there is a moral entitlement to not be forcibly prevented from monetizing. EDIT: If I stand outside the venue where a rock concert is being held and listen to the music, do you think that that is immoral...

No. They still have the original art and the product of their labor. They've lost nothing. Everything they had before remains untouched and unaltered. They still have everything that they had and everything that they're entitled to. Even in the case of a person stiffing someone that they've...

Well it's capable of doing most of the corporate "mindless drudge, draw what I tell you to draw" type artist jobs, as well as cheaply creating any obvious hackneyed low hanging fruit type works. You can argue about whether it's not a true "artist", but it can do the work of a hack as well as...

Hence the statement that you either need a lot of money or a lot of time. I don't have time to learn to draw artist quality! I work two jobs and have a bunch of other hobbies!

What is villainous about this? Because it threatens some movie studio's profits? Because it puts art into the hands of common people who don't have an excess of time or an excess of money? EDIT: Because it makes it harder for the people who do have the time to learn art to sell out?

The trailer is perfect. I love it.

That's because he has a vested monetary interest in the creative process not being cheaply automated. His opinion is inherently biased and should be ignored. Part of it may also come from superstition; there was a longstanding superstition, rooted in a combination of vanity and the...

Some of the systems are neat and it's a neat aesthetic until you look closely at it and realize that lore-wise and philosophically it's completely nonsense word salad even when compared to other fantastical elememts like magic
