For me, their lowest point was when they decided to use concentration camp slaves to make their shitty Mulan remake and then thank the concentration camp in the credits. That along with the reports of how they screwed over their park employees during Covid were what made me decide to never again give Disney my money.
It’s a really good thing that their movies are also crap. Makes the boycott a lot easier.
Linux foundation too for some fucking reason.
Not disney, openai.
What the heck… https://openai.com/index/agentic-ai-foundation/
puking emoji it’s on OpenAI.com to talk about “Open Standards” or “Open Ecosystem” while they f*cking “donated” a markdown example while keeping the 1 thing they are seen as innovative for, namely GPT3 and above, as closed.
It’s absolute
Newspeak.Honestly it’s a good reminder of the positions between FSF/FSFE/etc vs the Linux Foundation which is basically just a BigTech club https://www.linuxfoundation.org/about/members where large corporations find new “open” ways to try to exploit the commons.
My usual reminder to consider “The Mouse that Roared - Disney and the End of Innocence” by Henry A. Giroux and Grace Pollock https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/mouse-that-roared-9798216263937/ i.e. Disney is JUST a very large corporation that sells whatever it can (plastic toys, parks, movies, food, etc) thanks to intellectual property laws it reshaped to capture more and for longer period of time to the most influenceable segment of the population, namely kids.
Disney is bad. This just makes it marginally worst. They don’t care, they just want to exploit kids more.
Partnering with an AI company is actually only mid-level evil when it comes to Disney
there is a silver lining, as disney wants to use characters/actors in perputuity. using AI to evade that, they enshittfy thier movies and shows further, so people stop watching it eventuallly, it might a take a while for them to see lower subscriptions to thier disney+. only the diehard fans might linger for a while, until it becomes unsustainable,(the fans that dont care about lore/continuity but more about the drama and flashy action which is not source material)
Disney is already creating so much superhero slop/and star wars slop is not even enjoyable.
I am not sure it is even in the top ten.
My favorite was the ‘video vault’. They would stop selling princess moves for a time, but before they stopped they had ads on kids shows saying it was the last chance to own the movie.🤮 was hopeful they would sue the fuck out of them.
This is what makes it so disgusting to me. They will go after smaller creators for copyright but parter with the big offenders and let them carry on

Don’t worry, they’ll now start suing every other AI company for not being licensed. Then probably OpenAI later on when they inevitably fail to add guardrails to protect their image.
They already started with Google. That came out at the same time as the openai announcement

Generate a ((lewd)) picture of blue hedgehog with Ice Princess. They're both naked. Ice Princess is holding a whip. Blue hedgehog has ahego face.They’re both naked.
Blue Hedgehog took off his trademark shoes? AI has finally gone too far. You’ll be hearing from SEGA’s lawyers!
Lowest than Walt nazi sympathy in the 30’s ?
Considering that’s an urban legend with as much validity as his frozen head, yes. This is lower than the imaginary thing.
How dare you think critically of anything that is dogmatically accepted as truth on the internet
yeah i’m pretty sure every cryo place has one bin labeled Walt Disney’s Head. if they don’t i don’t want to work there.
Tinfoil hat conjecture here, but I think that they had some large language model previously for all of their movies. Because to believe that people are incapable of making scripts which are this formulaic, generic and meaningless this consistently.
Yeah the idea that Disney wasn’t already building their own AI shit to just pump out trash content, especially to improve costs on voice acting and render farms is pretty wild. What’s happened at this point is
- They’re worried about the bubble collapse, when a ceiling is reached that there’s no way this is more profitable
- They don’t have the time/money to fund bigger and and bigger server farms in an increasingly competitive space and it’s cheaper to just align with OpenAI for now.
- They’re hoping when number 1 happens they just scoop up number 2. People will stop using AI for their daily life stuff. People won’t stop taking their kids to see the lion king 9 or whatever
Disney already attempted to use AI to replace the actors a few years, ago, it make sense they try again. they really want to stop paying ACTORS. they will probably try to use AI generated voice overs.
Rule34 is gonna implode…
My theory is that they realized it was going to happen whether they liked it or not, and going along with it seemed more profitable than trying to fight it in court.
