Look, I know I'm salty today, but the CEO quoted in this Disney AI deal article is a schmucky ass. AI is built through IP theft.
And I'm old enough to remember when Disney sued a daycare for a Mickey Mouse mural. The dissonance from Disney in this article is outrageous.

Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.
Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.
