How many more shows can they buy the rights for and then do one half-assed season of? Surely they’re running out of ip.

And?

Chozo, in Disney’s Loki remains silent over reported use of generative AI - The Verge

I don't get why this would be a problem. It's just a poster image.

Hell, even if they used AI for the in-show VFX, I still don't see why it would be an issue. Almost all VFX for the last several years have been using some level of AI tools.

sunbeam60,

You are forgetting a cardinal rule: When something is likely to affect the press, the press affords it more attention.

So the writers, editors, graphic designers etc of the press are likely to be very affected by generative AI. So they worry about it. So they write about it.

I’m also in a line of work that will see substantial changes … so I understand their plight. But I think a large part of the reason the press write about the use of genAI to make “art output” is that they worry about genAI will make their “art output” soon.

zerfuffle,

Considering a good chunk of US media is just ingesting Reuters and adding a spin to it, I’m not surprised.

SomeGuyNamedPaul,

“So they write about it” with AI assistance. It can easily be argued that modern word processor software has some level of AI in it.

She: What kind of woman do you think I am?

He: We’ve already established that. Now we’re just haggling over the price.

Same story, it’s just a question to what extent the software moves from being an unacceptable amount of assistance as a tool. Sports equipment follows the same story, at some point it’s regarded as cheating, we just haven’t established what that line is. Clearly there are people who don’t care what that line is and so long as it represents a competitive advantage to ignore that line then people will freely cross it.

I don’t see the problem here.

Seems like more of a human mistake – like one of the designers used a stock image of a clock spiral that was AI-generated…

maino82,

Yeah, it sounds like a problem with a contributor to Shutterstock not following the terms of use. The person who put together the marketing materials for Loki was just using stock images. I don’t think it should be on them to enforce shutterstock’s TOU.

Unsubscribed last summer. Their catalogue sucks

They've got a fantastic catalogue. But I've seen those shows. They've only got a few things in the hopper on my radar, and I'll resubscribe when those come out.

toothpicks,

I unsubscribed about a year back. Horrible company. Gonna try curiosity stream or nebula or something instead

JIMMERZ, in Spotify Premium Adds Free Access to Audiobooks in Australia and the UK | Technology News

Honestly, when I first heard audiobooks were coming to Spotify , I thought they would be included in the premium price. I thought, hey this is a great perk and would be some competition for Audible.

I was quickly disappointed when I realized the cost of audiobooks on Spotify were more expensive than other services. I can’t imagine a ton of people buying their audiobooks there when the prices are better literally everywhere else.

Next week: Google is closing down its traffic light program. It’s Mad Max on the roads now.

I have concerns about what this would mean for non-drivers. Sometimes you don’t want lights to align for maximum throughput. There are other factors at play here.

15 hours a month? Wowee, that’s like half a novel.

I can’t see the “exciting” bit.
