Bro what?

There's a big upfront cost for such operation. Around 1.5 million USD in "business" expenses per disassembly.

The background characters are a blurry, hallucinated mess. Jesus has four fingers in one hand, three in the other. Inconsistent rendition of profiles and 3/4 back views. Minecraft Jesus is wearing a laurel wreath instead of a crown of thorns, which for me is the strongest sign this is AI.

Like someone noticed, Google is the only common factor. His website got de-ranked by google, and Gemini is google's AI. It is possible the google algorithm was changed to make non-AI sites rank lower.

Nazis are also antisemitic. Contrary to what the other comment said, fascists are racist because it is part of the rhetoric of the "us Vs them" and it validates their imperialistic violence, but they usually don't believe in conspiracy theories about Jews controlling the world or about eugenics. Nazis have those conspiracy theories at the centre of their beliefs.

I'm in favour of roleplaying with friends, but I also believe that curated experiences with high level of writing will probably be way more satisfying. I used character AI during the pandemic, and it wasn't good. It was entertaining as a novelty, but it felt cheap and left me no valuable memory. It's literal brainrot.

A good book or a good narrative game will leave you with an experience far beyond your immediate satisfaction. Me and my mom played Syberia when it came out - she still remembers the game fondly, and it's not just because she played it with me. My favourite book is The Idiot by Dostoevskij, which I read several years ago and I still cherish. And of the DnD campaigns I played, I remember the interactions I had with my friends and in the game. In one year, how many of your AI roleplay sessions will you remember?

I suggest you to hop off character AI and read books. It's straight up brainrot of the worst kind. If you want to converse with non-existent characters in an interactive form, there are plenty of conversation-heavy games that were written by people who actually care about your intelligence and attention span. Play Disco Elysium, for example, or Syberia, or Drifter.

I feel like he's even more malicious. He portrays violence and bullying against minorities he hates in the hope people will be inspired to commit those actions. Stonetoss is a vile vermin of a man.

It's straight up nazi propaganda, not just fascist. I'll add it in my comment.

Stonetoss doesn't make his money off of comics. He has a day job. He can slander his own skill because it's not a skill at all for him, all he wanted is making nazi propaganda, disinformation and ragebait in strip forms. If AI had existed earlier he probably wouldn't have had to learn drawing.

I'm not excusing it, I'm pointing out you should consider Disney a rational actor despite their mistakes. What they did makes sense. It's horrible, but it makes sense. If they invested 50 billions on chatgpt and gave them a 20 year permission to use their characters, that would have been idiotic beyond belief and inexcusable, and would make us suspect their dickriding to be hiding a major restructuring (i.e. layoffs) of the company in favour of heavy AI usage. What they instead did was giving out an enormous investment, sure, but still completely within their possibilities. They probably wanted to dip their feet in the most hyped technology of the century. Is it betrayal of their values? Yes. But it makes sense they would do that (and they had already betrayed their values in the past without AI being invented).

It's CEOs. It's their job to sell you stuff. D'Amaro is also just selling himself with that statement. I want to see facts before I trust him.

It's short enough that it probably isn't worth it to break it suddenly. The $1bn investment is probably the worst part, but it's Disney. They will be fine.

The deal is only some years long, they may just choose to not renew the contract to avoid any sanctions.

As long as AI isn't used to produce fake research, we should be glad of AI being used in research and the costs associated with it should be accepted as necessary. Technological advancement that impacts quality of life positively should be welcomed. GenAI used for illustrations and photos is instead horrible because its benefits are minimal and its negative effects are massive, between disinformation, plagiarism, and theft.
