    I’m glad I stored as much old media as I could because at this rate it isn’t even worth pirating this stuff.

    I would like to think something like this will encourage a renaissance in traditional media and art forms but the average person seems lazy and intellectually incurious enough to just keep consuming the slop. Kids growing up on this stuff will call you a boomer for being against it.

      tbh, good movie can still be done in the 5-20 mil range (for usians, something like raid can still be feasibly be made for a couple of mil), not exactly insurmountable numbers

    Did anyone else see the new Defunctland? It’s surprising that they’d so easily take on this risk for their brand. Even more surprising that they didn’t instead choose to gather evidence of OpenAI’s blatant copyright infringement and sue them to hell.

      Hollywood choosing to rip all the copper wiring out of the wall to sell to silicon valley wasn’t what I was expecting a decade ago but I guess this is just the hell we live in

      I saw the story about them suing Google for infringement first, and I was wondering what the rest of the story was.

      It’s kind of analog to how happily companies feed all their secrets into the AI.

    How much would you pay to have a Disney character be your friend on the AI friends app?

    Would you like to invite Donald Duck to your birthday party? That would be $100 an hour please.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

– PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE –

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
