@gamingonlinux this makes me so happy!

@killyourfm @Oregon_Pacifist @gamingonlinux I want to think this happened exactly because Disney found out about dataset distillation

[peteriskrisjanis@toot.lv]

@gamingonlinux shall prepare for more sad social messages, ending with OpenAI

[blumoop@mastodon.social]

@gamingonlinux hooray!

[m_rio@mastodon.social]

@gamingonlinux translation: "image generation is more prone to lawsuits, costs more to do, hasn't significantly upped subs, AND anthropic is eating our lunch on about everything else so we need to reallocate to compete."

…except for all that energy and water used…

@killyourfm @Oregon_Pacifist @gamingonlinux It's being reported that the Disney deal has gone poof. ClosedAI getting less money is always a good thing.

"We know this news is disappointing"
No it is not!

[csolisr@hub.azkware.net]

Also, video generation is at least twenty times more expensive than image generation, it was most probably being run at a deficit from day one

@gamingonlinux @Lazarou "What you made with Sora mattered"

[losttransposon@neopaquita.es]

@gamingonlinux That was reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally quick.

[groupnebula563@mastodon.social]

@gamingonlinux “created” is a strong fucking word

[htpcnz@mastodon.social]

@gamingonlinux Captain Gemini says hold my beer while Copilot and OpenAI crash their planes... Guess with whom everyone going to fly with after that.

[retrosponge@kind.social]

@gamingonlinux and nothing of value was lost.

[kevinashworth@mastodon.social]

@gamingonlinux With the Disney money, I strongly suspect one or both parties committed fraud.
