Here's the whole thing, I would think it would at least give the credit cards some level of pause before throwing around the term "high risk customer" - reputational risk no longer seems like a legitimate reason to bounce a customer in this regulatory environment.

You gotta love a closed circle on a capital chart.

I mean good job catching it definitely, but it's crazy that this energy even infects people who know better.

Colin said something like this yesterday and it sent me down an absolute spiral last night, and then I had to make this post to get it out of my head.
rolling in my head the kind of leaps from info that could lead people to believing something like this would work and landing on "disney has seen the insane numbers on youtube frozen family stuff and believes those numbers are from actual interest and not autoplay from parents keeping kids busy"
"Iger said the deal also fulfills a longtime desire by Disney to put user-generated content on its Disney+ streaming platform. Disney initially plans to put select videos created on Sora onto Disney+ to increase engagement with users, especially younger ones." www.businessinsider.com/disney-bob-i...

In doing so, he addicts the children of the next generation to Judy Hopps the way OPEC did with the US and cheap oil in the 20th century - he wants Judy saturation to ensure a long and stable Judy demand.

He is betting on Long Term Cheap Judy Addiction.

My knee jerk reaction is to say he thinks America can move more Japanward in its fanculture - that is to say, more character-based than property-based. By making it near free to use his characters, Iger is rocketing Judy Hopps relevance forward in time by increasing the total notional Judy for free.

On the one hand, what makes a Disney character a Disney character is being in a Disney movie.

On the other hand, those are getting really expensive, and nobody can explain how AI is going to make them any cheaper. So how do you get a slug of the value of Disney-but-AI?

Gotta buy some farting Moana

Historically Disney has spent a lot of time and treasure preventing this from happening, so much so that they've shaped the modern copyright landscape around their will. So it's interesting to see this change.

But is it a good trade?

Like Disney is putting a paper bag over this man's head and taping a photo of his cousin's face to the front
