There are times when you know something profound has happened and other times when you only realise something profound has happened some time later.

I agree with every word Zelda Williams says. And this at the end from OpenAI makes me want to go full Ned Ludd. Creators can’t have a blanket opt-out on copyright infringement of their work and have to fill out a form appealing to OpenAI’s mercy every time? Fuck off into the sun

OpenAI told the Guardian that content owners can flag copyright infringement using a “copyright disputes form” but that individual artists or studios cannot have a blanket opt-out. Varun Shetty, OpenAI’s head of media partnerships, said: “We’ll work with rights holders to block characters from Sora at their request and respond to takedown requests.”

And yet, if anyone in the press calls this racist (which it patently is), they’ll face more outrage than the man who lamented a shortage of white faces.

So we’ll politely rebrand it as “unwise,” perhaps “ill-judged,” or “not in keeping with the spirit of inclusivity.”

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.
