Only rich studio bosses and investors are allowed to exploit Hollywood.

This just in: people who are used to earning millions of dollars and being the center of public adoration warn against anything that might change that.

Oh, fuck them. Oh no, we just can’t exploit the guys who only setup shop way the fuck out west so they could (checks notes)…ignore early copyright law. Wait a minute…
At least, that’s the allegation I’ve heard, not it served believable.

A bunch of fucking nepo babies are having an existential crisis that the general public has more access to generating content for videos and movies? Hollywood was already exploited for a hundred years before this. It’s too late to sound the alarms.
Also, fuck copyright law.

Count me as a fervent critic of Hollywood, but the world isn’t binary and (unfortunately) Hollywood hating it doesn’t automatically make it a good thing for the rest of us. Essentially OpenAI, Google and the rest of the pack of thieves are lobbying to establish themselves as the rulers of a lawless world, and everything you already hate about Hollywood (its inordinate amount of power, the bullying of the weaker that ensue, the corruption and politics around it, …) is meant to get back to us, in worse, with new names at the top.
Indeed that would be the end of the copyright law, but only for the oligarchs.

Which is why open-source models are so critically important. When OpenAI collectively shat their pants at the announcement of DeepSeek, it exposed an obvious weakness in their plans: They can’t sell what people can do for free.
They. Are. Fucking. Terrified. Of. Open. Source.
Same thing when Google put out that internal memo a few years ago, criticizing the use of open source, when Stable Diffusion suddenly exploded on the scene.
Indeed that would be the end of the copyright law, but only for the oligarchs.
All it takes is one critical case to establish precedent.
