And if you're the only company with that business agreement. As long as you still have it, it's a...moat.

Well that’s the thing with moats - they don’t just disappear one day.

No business moat is permanent.

The technology is still immature. I mean no one here would be surprised if Disney and OpenAI have trouble preventing misuse -- say, Disney-branded Hentai.[a] Can Disney and OpenAI reliably prevent misuse? --- [a] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hentai

There's probably already terabytes and terabytes of disney porn out there. It's not clear to me why this would make much of a difference on that front.

Instead of "out there," it would be on an official Disney/OpenAI venue.

That strikes me as rather risky on their part.

It's strange though because if you know anything about Disney and how the manage the characters in media and at the parks, they are extremely protective of the brand and image of the characters. Imagineers have very strict rules around virtual character meet and greets and etc. Allowing their characters to be used in AI generated content blows that all out of the water unless there are some extremely tight guard rail…

Yes, that is certainly true, but I think there is a certain monetary value attached to that virality that Disney now wants to cash in on, which is something they haven't done before. There's also the outward plausible deniability of "well we couldn't have known that people would break the guard rails". I can't imagine any other explanation. This decision must have gone through a lot of channels and they must be aware…

Given the creativity of the jailbreaking community I will be very impressed if OpenAI manage to reliably prevent Sora from creating disagreeable content with Disney characters.

If they’re jail breaking it, they should already be able to get it to create Disney characters without this deal.

Almost like this is not about the value of the deal, but the payoff to both sides from the headlines?

I think its just that people either love him or hate him and it seems like OP is part of the latter group

I don’t have an opinion on him, despite the suggestiveness of my comment. He’s more illustrative of a spirit that Disney at a time did not have an appetite for.

But this was also just a short-lived political environment as well, where companies pretended to care about the current thing because it was politically expedient. How long did it take for them to do a 180? I mean they didn't believe in any of that stuff even a little.

This will not end well for Disney, there were certain historical characters removed from Sora 2 because people kept making racist videos that are hard to censor, and it became increasingly unhinged. This feels like another circular investment where Disney is hoping to make money back I'm sure. On the other hand, assuming they do the freemium stuff, I look forward to making a few videos of my daughters favorite Disney…

>This will not end well for Disney

I have faith that the Parks Imagineers will soon be installing Sora Stalls in and around every attraction in Disney World.
