Not surprised. They were already milking their IP into obscurity, so it makes sense. Disney and it's subsidiaries permanently off my list of companies that ever get my money.
Already weren't going to subscribe to Disney+ again after they put it on there too.

Not surprised, of course. But still. Steal from the creators who made your company what it is at a large enough scale, and you reward the thieves with wealth the likes of which none of us will ever see.

In terms of research, there is much more work in the pipelines, including a big study of AI music on consumer platforms that should raise quite a few eyebrows. That's coming early in 2026.

Much needed updates.
1. Hemlock was presented at CCS in Oct. We are working on releasing a usable tool in coming weeks.
2. Our next paper is peer-reviewed & accepted by USENIX Security 2026. It is a Model Provenance tool that computes "feature fingerprints" from genAI image models.

Hey artists,
Here's how you can make sure your work is not being used to train AI. A hearing for proposed bill AB-412 would require AI companies to be transparent and provide you with a list of your works that were used to train AI.

Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their datasets - this bill would force them. If you're pro AI regulation (esp if you're in Bay Area), please show up and offer your support for this bill! If you can't make it, help spread the word!

Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.
There is a rush for AI companies to team up with space launch/satellite companies to build datacenters in space. TL;DR: It's not going to work.

Fun fact: certain cigarette filters were designed with vents intended to prevent accurate measurements of the cigarette's toxic emissions by introducing more oxygen, which diluted the smoke -- unless the smoker's fingers blocked the vent, which they tended to do, so they got a full hit.

AI is NOT inevitable. Keep not using it. Uninstall Copilot from your computer. Refuse to use programs bogged down with it. Complain loudly about it when they shove it into the programs you use. We can starve the slop machines.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.
