  • Millions of bees is not very many. That’s like one smallish operation.

    I’m sure it’s actually a much bigger problem than the numbers they have.

    Edit: ah I see now, the article says hundreds of millions of bees, and this post missed a couple words.

  • The moralistic outrage is that people still have an outdated concept of intellectual property, and a blanket fear of corporations owning technological progress.

    The truth is, no one can actually own an idea or style. But we have laws that try to make it a real thing. Because of regulatory capture, copyright truly only benefits corporations with lots of money, not all the little indie artists that actually would need it.

    Hell, most these indie artists make their money drawing and selling fanart, which is the most literal definition of copying. Yet no one worries about that.

  • OpenAI picked Studio Ghibli because Miyazaki hates their approach.

    I highly doubt it. They picked it because the Ghibli style is very popular among users. There’s also no reason to believe that it violates “democratic values”. Since it’s popular, the general population is voting that they LIKE it, not that they oppose it.

    Downvote me all you like, but this is trying to put a lot of malice where the simpler explanation is just “money”.

  • You seem to have the false assumption that all AI is owned by corporations, and that it is only used for business purposes.

    If I’m using AI running locally on my own machine, for my own amusement or even (heaven forbid) productivity, there is nothing unethical about that.

  • I’m not shocked that the oldest generation of animators are anti-AI art. The quality isn’t professional yet (even with the newest models) but it’s just good enough now that it’s easier to slap together something with AI than to pay a real artist. Quality vs cost/time tradeoffs are hard for real professionals to accept.
