I am, if nothing else, a slut for The Implications

Who remembers this classic? It's still here, I promise it wasn't a fever dream!

@zillychu, it's a great time killer! Perfect to just sit back and relax!

Dragon lovers unite!

dude I watched a music friend just slap out some tunes on a guitar, fiddle with a virtual drumset, loop and overlay a few lines, and made a banger song out of thin air. like it just happened. they just did it. a song appeared. what the fuck

PLEASE go see Hoppers in theaters.

It's delightful. It's hilarious, charming, has great messages, and just feels so much like a Pixar Renaissance era film!

It's also quietly woke as fuck in a way that will deeply resonate with older viewers who feel helpless and angry about... everything currently going on with the world. Like I'm obsessed with how they were able to subtly slip in a message that goes very much against the expected and tired "meet your moral opponents in the middle".

It's so subtle but not at all missable. And it's so on the nose you might want to scream when you realize what literally happens in the figurative message.

oh my GOD I've known for about a month now that Disney was getting ready to go public with the Midjourney court case and it was SO HARD. TO STAY SILENT. all I've been able to do for like 2 years is go "trust me Disney is cooking something" and now it's finally starting.

like. I cannot emphasize enough how this is seriously going to destroy unethical LLMs. this isn't just about Midjourney, it's going to affect all the shitty art theft companies. they've been working on this a long time to ensure it's airtight.

Disney is evil, but for this battle, their interests align with ours. it's gonna be a long court case but at least we're finally gonna start seeing a shift now in regards to LLMs.

1) Disney will not be able to monopolize unethical LLMs bc they'll be illegal if Disney wins. legislation will need to be written to uphold the ruling.

-----------

EDIT: adding to this bc the techbro psyops found it and are trying to convince y'all this is a bad thing.

2) this is literally just Disney saying "LLMs should be subject to copyright law like everything else". only reason it wasn't is bc we didn't have it in legal writing yet. this court case will prompt it being written.

3) this means absolutely nothing else about copyright is changing. fair use, transformative work, and IP laws stay the same. nothing will change for anyone except techbro shills. we'll finally be protected from them.

4) I can't believe I have to say this but copyright is a good thing. it can be abused (there's room to criticize about HOW it's applied), but it's the only thing protecting small artists and individuals from their labor being stolen. anyone who whines about copyright as a whole being evil is a techbro who wants to steal your money and labor.

5) please. please remember copyright is completely separate from IP law. Disney will not be able to outlaw "style theft", that's still under fair use. their argument against LLMs lies solely in the fact that LLMs use the source material directly in computing an output, and is unable to create an output without said source material. this is how it's different from human-guided machines like digital art programs--those don't require copyright work to create any output.

6) not saying there's a 0% chance of something going wrong but there's a reason artists are excited about this. we have good reason to be optimistic. the court case is airtight--it fully refutes all arguments techbros make in defence of unethical LLMs.

7) being happy about Enemy 1 killing Enemy 2 does not mean anyone suddenly loves Enemy 1. nobody is celebrating Disney. we're celebrating LLMs losing. Disney being evil doesn't mean we can't be happy about Evil 2 dying.

8) techbros keep crying it's so fucking funny
