Disney characters are coming to Sora
The three-year partnership with OpenAI will bring Disney鈥檚 iconic characters to the company鈥檚 Sora AI video generator. But no voices will come with them, and only animated characters will be included, like Mickey Mouse, Cinderella, and Simba.
A key part of this deal: Disney is also making a $1 billion equity investment in OpenAI. And the user-generated creations will be able to be used by Disney on things like Disney+.
I'm surprised Disney did this deal. They鈥檙e known in the industry as having some of the strictest rules about how their IP can be used. They're suing Midjourney for IP breaches, so maybe this is their way to profit from what they already know will happen even if they choose not to be involved.
Reddit doesn't think it should be banned for kids in Australia
It's making two arguments: first it says that the law limits free political discourse of children. This feels weak.
It's second argument feels stronger: it calls itself a 鈥渃ollection of public fora arranged by subject鈥. It's basically saying that because you don't typically follow people on Reddit, you follow subjects, that it's not a social media app. It argues that people engage in interactions about that content, not person to person.
