Open Letter to Disney: Prioritizing Human Creativity in the Age of AI
Disney's recent partnership with OpenAI, which will allow Sora to use over 200 characters—from Mickey Mouse to Yoda—to generate short, user-prompted videos, is being presented by the company as a major step in storytelling innovation. CEO Bob Iger claims this move is about "thoughtfully and responsibly extending the reach of our storytelling through generative AI, while respecting and protecting creators and their works." A curated selection of these fan-created, Sora-generated clips featuring Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars characters will even appear on Disney+.

Despite building their vast empires on the intellectual property devised by these creators, major publishers like Marvel and DC, under their standard contracts, largely deny them a fair share of the profits.

I know Little Nightmares three came out on October 10th. I have to say, this one is pretty interesting. I'm not a gamer; I'm an observer.
