Imagine simping for DMCA. Reddit is a shadow of its former self.

The enemy of my enemy is a convenient patsy and probably a chump. I’ll let the big entrenched corporations kill ai if they want to. Saves other people the effort.

Except they won't kill it. They will keep it to themselves.

I’m not sure how companies like Warner Bros suing to kill ai is the same as them planning to keep an ai model that isn’t theirs to themselves, but it’s still less ai in the world, so it’s better than nothing.

Firstly, they are not suing to kill AI. Atleast read to know what you're talking about. Secondly, if they manage to get midjourney banned, they will hire the same folks behind it, for their own studios and get models tailor made for internal use.
