This will likely have more success than the authors. That was just a bunch of nerd who write words. The mouse kingdom has the money to actually get results.
Disney can still fuck off and die, but I'm taking their side vs AI companies.

And who would doubt it?
Fuck Midjourney, and also, fuck Disney. I hope they spend years in court blowing millions on high priced lawyers and making each other look bad.
Why the hate for Disney (asking)?
I think Disney is to American culture what McDonald's is to American food. A corporate juggernaut that markets product not through quality but through advertising and name recognition, and starves out genuine American culture in the process.
I mean, what does it say that one of the most recognizable symbols of the United States, worldwide, is a cartoon mouse whose job is to sell toys to kids?
What message does that cartoon mouse send to the world about American values and American beliefs?
The idea that giving money to a corporation has become a rite of fucking passage in American society - the number of people who think their kids need to watch Disney movies so they can fit in with other kids, who think their kids will miss out on a fundamental part of American culture if they don't take them to Disneyland at least once - absolutely horrifies me. Especially since the only political and moral message kids learn from Disney is "uphold the status quo and buy more Disney merch".
Also, Disney is known for racism and sexism and cultural appropriation and union busting and copyright trolling and all sorts of general corporate bullshittery, and is currently shoving its feminist and LGBT representation back into the closet to appease Trump and avoid offending big conservative audiences in India and China and the Middle East, and there are plenty of smaller more specific reasons to hate them, but for me the whole "cultural vanguard of capitalism" thing outweighs the rest.

That the rest of the world is as bad about assumptions and generalizations as Americans?
I don't particularly care for Disney either and you raise good points but it being a "symbol of the United States" and a "rite of passage" is buying into marketing from Disney, which only a subset of Americans do.
Exactly, let them fight. All they can do is hurt each other.
They finally pissed off the mouse. AI image generators are cooked.
Not sure I wanna celebrate Disney's copyright abuse bullshit, but on this case it is actually warranted, if only so other artists don't get their shit stolen as well.
But if this ends up with AI image generators getting phased out, I'll consider it a success.
Ai is the bigger issue right now. We can deal with Disney later.
I love these news where you see shit versus shit. Musk vs Trump, Disney vs Midjourney. And it's free, no pay per view.
BITE EACH OTHER'S DICKS OFF!
Twist his dick!
Disney is evil but I like them a lot more than ai
Fuck disney. The are editing or changing movies now to lick the orange convicted fascist/rapist felon and his puppeteer Theil’s taint.
Can you give any examples?
In the Win or Lose movie a Trans character was completely removed and replaced with a christian girl.
Here is an article as well. There are more if you search.

Hate being on the side of the mouse
Can't wait to hear the water cooler discourse regarding the legal/moral implications of this novel new internet fad called "rule 34."
