“We let the English robot read every book in the library.” <assorted gasps, clutched pearls>
“We showed the drawing robot a bunch of stuff from the internet.” <assorted gasps, clutched pearls>
“We… totally didn’t show the video robot our DVD collection, probably.” <assorted gasps, clutched pearls>
If you can’t win, why try?
Of fucking course generative models were trained on copyrighted data. How else would they exist? We only broke through forty years of dead-end tweaking and guesswork by shoveling as much information as possible into the biggest networks we could run.
Now this tech is halfway to magic, and you expect me to dislike it because of copyright? I don’t even respect copyright normally! I’m not about to fall for Hollywood screaming about some new advancement, again, if there’s essence of Disney in the pile of math that turns “Shrek fighting Vader” into a real video file.
It’s been barely two years since this stopped being tiny blurry pictures in research PDFs, and now Sora can spit out a finished high-def video shot with no actors or animators whatsoever. We’ve made a thousand pictures worth about twenty words. This is fucking awesome and I refuse to pretend otherwise.
These companies don’t even give a shit. They used AI to threaten all the people who make their movies the hard way. Studios think this tech will let them get rid of creative people, instead of letting creative people get rid of studios. These empty suits can only imagine you’ll give them even more money once you can wish movies into existence.
