Fun update on the James Mulligan situation, If you don't know he is the alleged AI/ Plagiarism Disney artist
I guess he didn't like my coverage of the topic. He is attempting to remove any trace of his alleged bad behavior from the internet. We of course will fight this as it falls under fair use

A comic strip in four panels: 1. A bird's-eye view of a giant amphora the size of a building with closed eyes and a closed mouth engraved on it. Using scaffolding, a community of wizards climbed up and are throwing all their books into it, to fill its content. > Wizards: All our grimoires for the Amphora of Great Intelligence! 2. A ground level view at the bottom of the giant amphora. This time, the wizards bring tree trunks, cut down nearby trees, and throw them into a large fire to boil the giant amphora. > Wizards: All our forests for the Amphora of Great Intelligence! 3. A gathering of all the wizards below the imposing amphora which has now opened its glowing eyes and mouth slightly. The crowd of wizards at its feet applauds: > Wizards: Amphora of Great Intelligence, our world is dying, share your knowledge with us! 4. Same shot, as the amphora responds with joyful and amused eyes. The wizards are confused by the answer... > Artificial Intelligence: According to geologists, you should eat at least one small rock per day. > Wizards: ... ... ...

YouTube video by Inkwell DragonCon AI "Artist" Removed by Police

This guy not only took credit from my fellow Lorcana colleagues but also claimed to be an official Disney artist to inflate sales. In reality he has been black listed from the company for years after sketchy behavior.

Wow!

So while I still wish this case would’ve gone to trial, and believe the amount given per work should have been EVEN higher, $1.5 billion in settlement AND the destruction of infringing datasets is still a fantastic start! Congratulations to all those involved as these things are not easy!

Hackers Threaten to Submit Artists' Data to AI Models If Art Site Doesn't Pay Up Artists&Clients, a website for connecting artists with gigs, is down after a group called LunaLock threatened to feed their data to AI datasets.

Hackers compromised an artist platform, and now are threatening to upload all of the artists' art to AI tools if the platform doesn't pay up. A novel extortion strategy www.404media.co/hackers-thre...

Sad scammer packing with security escort keeping an eye on his schemes

AI grifter scammed their way into Dragon Con. The staff had them escorted out, lmao you love to see it

Crazy the lack of self awareness here. VFX artists are the reason he has anywhere near this fame. They've been an essential part of his success. So to basically say "I want VFX artists devalued & to need fewer" is such a huge slap in the face, and I feel for the people working on his films right now

James Cameron Says VFX Costs Threaten Future Of Blockbusters In a recent interview, Stability AI board member James Cameron warned high budgets threaten theaters, urging cheaper VFX and new tech to cut costs.

“I’d like to see the cost of VFX artists come down.” — ‘Avatar’ director and Stability AI board member James Cameron claims effects workers are too expensive, putting blockbusters and the VFX industry at risk.

We have provided a Proposed Use Case Matrix at the end of this guidance as a tool to triage your proposed use case quickly. Proposed Use Case Action Rationale Using GenAl for ideation only (moodboards, reference images) Low risk, non-final, likely not needing escalation if guiding principles are followed. Using GenAl to generate background elements (e.g., signage, posters) that appear on camera Use judgment: Incidental elements may be low risk, but if story-relevant, please escalate. Using GenAl to create final character designs or key visuals Requires escalation as it could impact legal rights, audience perception, or union roles. Using GenAl for talent replication (re-ageing, or synthetic voices) Requires escalation for consent and legal review. Using unowned training data (e.g., celebrity faces, copyrighted art) Needs escalation due to copyright and other rights risk. Using Netflix's proprietary material Needs escalation for review if outside secure enterprise tools.

1/8 Netflix just released guidelines on GenAi use.

When all 40+ lawsuits on GenAl finalize, if it's found that GenAi models DO infringe copyright, will companies like Netflix pretend they never did stuff like buying VFX studios that build off Stable Diffusion & LAION or this?

Honestly this is an excuse.

I know plenty of people who are not “naturally gifted” who do art.

It requires effort to learn. I feel you did not approach it correctly or think things happen over night.

Also hard work and skill is not “naturally gifted” as that undermines their efforts to draw.

1/2

gAI art is bad because it's stealing labor.

stealing labor from art is easy because no one sees art as labor, they see it as talent.

they see it as talent because it's easier to believe they have a right to hate you because they can't stand they gave up and you didn't.

fuck them, pay labor.
