    Same country that just gave Nintendo a patent for a generic game idea thay has been in wide use for years. Yeah… this is strictly about profits from their anime industry. Japan is just as much of a capitalist dystopia as the US is. Though if they manage to hurt the AI ‘industry’ - nice, I guess?

    I guess this is good, though it’s annoying that it’s unique enough to make a headline. This should be completely uncontroversial.

      Fuck all intellectual property.

      Monopoly on ideas is though police. Information that is not hidden for personal reasons should always be free.

      All of human creativity is recycled from internal interpretations, interpretations from the real world that we live in that is increasingly blocked off with real punishment to conceptual crime.

    Open AI gets so much free PR. Sora is free for now, and instagram getting flooded with copyright infringing crap is not what an expensive video AI creation is going to be paid for. AI videos are very expensive. There are very few people who will pay for it as an alternative for more expensive CGI. Advertising industry can consider full shift for video. They can avoid rights violations and still do it.

    Point though, is that copyright controversies are irrelevant to everything important. There is a utility to it, but its not 60gw of power required market.

        Fan manga and other doujin works usually depends on the original copyright holder for enforcement.

        Some are pretty open for any fanworks being commercialized as long it’s limited and case by case basis. For example, Love Live franchise allows doujin manga and other doujinshi works, but not with fanmerch. Serial Experiments Lain generally allows various stuff, but not R18 content. Some others like Yakitate Japan mangaka just happy seing his works have so many adult doujin manga, and even lining up on Comiket buying them.

          They don’t like foreigners, so let’s wish they were conquered by colonials, because that worked out so well for every other country conquered by colonials.

            That doesn’t align with the modern globalism tendencies.

            Perhaps we should colonize them and replace them with new people who fit the narrative better.

            That’ll teach them to be more considerate of foreigners. Well, those that survive, at least.

    Based on what I saw while lurking around the site formerly known as Twitter, while some Japanese creatives are totally hostile to AI with their traditional and digital artwork being poached for “training”, others are jumping into Sora to enliven their waifu artwork, mostly posed 3D models or from video games.

          The stubbornness of calling it Twitter is really silly. Imagine insisting Edge is AcTuAlLy Internet Explorer, same energy.

          It’s called x now, you access it by going to c.com. it’s stupid, but you need to face it and accept that Twitter and what Twitter used to be is gone.

          Stop using the Nazi platform, period. This refusal to let go of Twitter and still giving Elon money and influence by continuing to use his platform while insisting you’re making some sort of statement by making fun of him and calling it Twitter is… Silly. What’s the end game?

          Twitter is dead. Let it go.

            You need a better example. Edge was specifically not Internet Explorer. For quite a while, both existed. They were separate programs. Also going to twitter.com still takes you to where you wanna go lol, it just redirects.

              I guess you will call Nike Blue Ribbon Sports because they still have blueribbonsports.com, and certainly all the cool kids still say WWF because WWE is stupid, and I remember when everyone refused to call ebay anything but AuctionWeb, and don’t forget how everyone refused to accept that Research In Motion became BlackBerry. Almost forgot how nobody called Apple Music anything but Beats Music, and the SyFy channel will always be SciFi, and Paramount+ is universally rejected as a replacement for CBS All Access… It’s not hard to come up with examples, this happens all the time… lol

              It’s a brand, and it changed. It’ll never be Twitter again, it’s the Nazi platform X now, and keeping ownership of the Twitter.com domain name isn’t exactly proof Twitter is still Twitter, so much has been changed about it beyond content moderation and Nazi propaganda distribution, from content access to monetization.

              I personally avoid using the Nazi platform, but feel free to continue supporting it while “making fun” of its name change like that’s consequential at all.

              Don’t engage with the ideas, downvote and run away. Your precious Twitter needs you to “stand up” to Elon by continuing to use his platform.

                Pump the brakes. Never said I support using Twitter. I was just saying you don’t have to “go to x.com” to get there. Which is an argument you used.

                  That’s the primary domain… Twitter.com forwards to it, you do have to go to x.com, even if your browser is making that process mostly transparent for you.

                  Do you disagree that it’s not called Twitter anymore? Do you disagree that calling people stupid for calling it x is stupid?

                  The guy heiled Hitler twice on live tv and people are still using his platform because “it’s still Twitter”… It’s dumb.

      The argument for training an AI on copyright materials is different than the argument for allowing it to generate and distribute copyright infringing materials.
