  • What in the Wizards-of-the-Coast is this shit?

    I actually cannot figure out where the logic is on this sort of thing (apart from CEOs having big cartoon dollar signs for eyes). You create a product, give it out for free, then get salty when people use your free product and demand payment in retrospect? And not just a ‘commercial licence’ payment, but a cut off the top of every game sold.

    I can’t wait for visual effects software companies to start charging James Cameron $0.20 on every ticket sold for Avatar 3.

    Or Tesla to start charging their drivers a fee anytime they use their car as a rideshare vehicle… actually I wouldn’t put that one past Emerald Boy.



  • What the fuck are you talking about?

    Porn has existed forever. Onlyfans is a type of porn consumption. A stiff, plastic, clammy-skinned woman with anime proportions isn’t about to replace the social intimacy that people get from OF. And yes, I know that there are some really good AI gen’s images out there, but it’s a different market entirely.

    And if I want porn, there are a million sites for images and videos that don’t require a machine to steal the likenesses of a thousand women to output the most generic bland porn I’ve ever seen.

    If AI is going to replicate the social and porn aspects of the industry, so you really think the creators aren’t going to exploit horny idiots out of their money?


  • While I am no fan of the NYT and other news site’s pricing models, I don’t think that this goes against “protecting the press”. Journalists do a job. They research, compile, draft, and write articles in their own voice (or the voice of the news outlet). They are paid for this work. OpenAI wants to scrape the words off news sites so that their language model can regurgitate them for free.

    This is the AI Art thing all over again. Creators should be paid for their work.
