> "We are hearing from a lot of rightsholders who are very excited for this new kind of "interactive fan fiction" and think this new kind of engagement will accrue a lot of value to them, but want the ability to specify how their characters can be used (including not at all)"

Marvelous ability to convolute the simple message "rightholders told us to fuck off"

I don't get the confusion. He's saying that (i) they will need to start charging money per generation (ii) they will share some of this money with rightsholders

they will TRY to share this money ;)

Yes – "with rightsholders who want their characters generated by users. "

So it's not about reimbursing "rightsholders" they rip off. It's about giving a pittance to those who allow them to continue to do so.

Sorry, trying to give a pittance to them.

> In particular, we'd like to acknowledge the remarkable creative output of Japan--we are struck by how deep the connection between users and Japanese content is! Translation from snake speech bs: We've been threatened by Japanese artists via their lawyers that unless we remove the "Ghibli" feature that earned us so much money, and others like it, we're going to get absolutely destroyed in court.

> Japanese “content” Sickening

No human writes like this. If he actually did it’s worrying.

> You have to explicitly opt into sharing your likeness with permission controls. Ok... how is that supposed to work? I don't have an OpenAI account, there are no permission controls for me. Someone else could easily upload a picture of me, no?

No, you have to register yourself with a video where you're required to say a unique code. So unless you've posted a video of yourself online saying every number from 1 to 99 they won't be able to copy your likeness

This seems... pretty easy to get around? There are already open weight models which can take any photo and audio and make a video out of it with the character speaking/singing/whatever, and it runs on normal consumer hardware.

Revenue sharing for AI generated videos of characters sounds completely insane. I can't tell if this is face saving or delusion.

It sounds insane to you but sounds completely normal to me.

Why should AI generated videos not have revenue sharing.

In the end what matters is whether people enjoy the video, it does not matter if its AI created or human created.

Would you mind explaining? As a non native English speaker I may have missed some nuance.

The word content. Art would have been the appropriate term.

Wait until they coopt the word "art" to include AI-generated slop. I dread the future discussion tarpits about whether AI creations can be considered art.

My person in deity that future has been here for a while now.

Not only do they consider it art, they call what you and I consider art "humanslop" and consider it inferior to AI.
