Disney Gets In Bed With Sora

[popuman]

This theory seems to be completely at odds with the past 40 years of mass entertainment. I don't think there is a force on Earth that can make Opera "popular entertainment" again. If Cop Rock didn't do it...

I understood that reference gif. Now powered by Sora.

Opera being popular in the future...

I approve. Though to me it doesn't matter if it becomes that popular or not. I am glad it still exists.

Disney and Sora?

This does seem like a ... Heartless move on Disney's part.

the future is now and it's gonna suck for a time, but the eternal optimist in me knows there's a good future ahead at some point.

Im also an optimist. This is not the future. This will never make the world better on any level. This is the proverbial beast consuming itself. at best.

Unless we fight it, and people stop treating it as inevitable in desperate attempts to maintain their own indifference (that part isnt toward you).

I honestly wished we could skip past the trauma/legal fights and have everything figured and workout fairly but that isn't how the real world works sadly gotta endure the labor pains before the baby comes. Right now Suno the ai music company is redoing how they operate due to entering an agreement with WMG, which allows WMG signed artist to opt in to letting suno train on their music. Currently form my understanding when you use it, it says no can do if your try to use an artist's name in the style guide. They were sued i think last year over training their models on various artist.

It still destroys lakes worth of water and uses towns worth of energy to no good purpose, and it will never be used to benefit us.

You mentioning the 1950s movie stars, makes me think about the little news that happened when they did a digital recreation of just the face of Steve McQueen for sheryl crow's Steve McQueen music video and last year at comicon we had the Stan Lee hologram.

Not at all. look rather at the last decade. People are rejecting the mass produced slop, and instead hand crafts and potato quality PBS-vibes productions are becoming more popular than ever in my lifetime.

The more ai slop takes over holiday cards the more people get into handmade papercraft. The more ai slop is allowed on music streaming services that dont let you own things, the more people turn to physical media.

The trends of the 80's to 2010s are not the trends of 2020's. Things have fundementally changed.

considering that disney fought long and hard to extend copyright laws not for it's artist care but for it's own pocketbook, this honestly is just another step

define "good purpose" and which group of people is "us"

EDIT: some people are benefiting from generative AI not just companies or people invested in the companies.
