do you know how much content disney has? go scrolling: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assets_owned_by_the_Walt_Disney_Company e: that's the tip of the iceberg, because if they band together with others from the MPAA & RIAA, they can suffocate the entire Movie, Book and Music world with it.

They have 0.2T in assets the world has around 660T in assets which as I said before is a tiny fraction. Obviously both hold a lot of assets that aren’t worthwhile to AI training such as theme parks but when you consider a single movie that might be worth millions or billions has the same benefit for AI training as another movie worth thousands. the amount of assets Disney owned is not nearly as relevant as you are making it out to be

good, then I can just ignore Disney instead of EVERYTHING else.

Until they charge people to use their AI.

It'll be just like today except that it will be illegal for any new companies to try and challenge the biggest players.

why would I use their AI? on top of that, wouldn't it be in their best interests to allow people to use their AI with as few restrictions as possible in order to maximize market saturation?
