I like how they went from “all artists learn from prior artists, it’s how art evolves” to “we just copied their style directly”
Lots of artists have always copied style directly. The difference is when a person copies they invariably include fragments of their own take on that style whether they’re trying to or not, and if they get particularly good they will develop their own style.
I read this piece yesterday and somehow I’m still itchy.
This is so disrespectful and just out of touch. This guy took this specific source, trained its model with it and openly encouraged the world to go crazy with it.
Even uses one as his pfp.
Fuck you Sam.
i understand and agree with this in the society we live in.
but, not to be a contrarian, i think if we didn’t live in such a commoditized society the practice of training LLMs on large swaths of data wouldn’t be viewed so negatively. it only seems wrong to “steal” people’s work because they have to make a living on the idiotic notion of “owning” their art, ideas, and research. if we did away with this, then we could grow up and share everything
i’m not religious. but in many faiths, there is a story analogous to the abrahamic story of the tower of babel. i won’t recount it here, but i will say, classical interpretation is that god strikes man down, confusing our languages, as a direct result of his pride or hubris for daring to attempt to approach the divine. if you ask me, it seems like this interpretation is copium. why would we need to be delimited if it wasn’t the case that when we work in unity as a monad, humanity approaches the omnipotent power of the heavens? seems to me it’s almost like the division of man was done in these stories out of a fear over what we could do if only we all worked together.
now, fairy tales aren’t real. but we tell stories to learn lessons about the world. there is significance that out of the infinite stories that could be, we chose to pass this one down

AGI is here: Art Ghibli Imitation.
Monkey paw finger curls
Nobody indeed said where AGI would stand for.
i thought it’s A Guy in India
this studio Ghibli shit they’ve been doing is an affront to life itself
This certainly doesn’t help them in my eyes. If Sam openly embraces stealing a style from one of the most respected studios in the world, I have no need for anything he has to say or anything he’s a part of. He’s laid his compromised morals out there for everyone to see. I’m sure most clout chasers won’t care because they’re mostly devoid of morals too, but I care.
