what annoys me about explaining evolution to people who don’t think it’s real is that everyone’s idea of how it works seems to be from this

Whereas the reality is far more like

its extremely important to read widely and deeply in a variety of genres. read obscure self published shit that only 4 people have read. read culturally relevant works of literature that have helped shape the canon. read horror. read women's lit. read historical fiction and comedies and nonfiction and hentai and poetry and science fiction and fantasy and mysteries and romance and good things and bad things and things u hate and things you love and things you COULD like if only the author changed x y and z and things which are beautiful but not meant for you.

doing all of this reading will lay a groundwork of rich complexity in your heart. so that you can write really good porn

are you queer? are you a huge nerd? (affectionate)

well, we’ve got AMAZING news for you. we’ve been saving some $$ and we just bought some of the most expensive ebooks in our wishlist to add to the collection - that’s right, academic, university press, nonfiction!

we want to make all kinds of queer literature, especially the stuff that’s hard for you to get your hands on elsewhere, accessible FOR FREE for EVERYONE 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ 💕

check out our ‘just added’ titles in libby to see these (& more!)

and if you love what we’re doing, and want to see us do more kick ass shit like this, our annual fundraiser is currently ongoing! if you’re able to give $5, $10, $50 - every little bit helps us keep this library growing for the next year

These investments of time and money are only made possible by the incentives embodied in U.S. copyright law, which ensure copyright owners the exclusive right to control and commercialize their own creative works. Whether it is a children’s coloring book with Marvel superheroes, a video game based on the Shrek movies, or a subscription service that distributes high resolution images or short videos with Plaintiffs’ copyrighted characters, only Plaintiffs are allowed to build a business around or otherwise commercialize those characters. - Disney NBCU v Midjourney

so this is 1000% a case about transformative works. the issues over the training data are muddled under fair use law, so disney is pivoting hard into "don't steal my OCs!!!" territory which will have insane repercussions.

genAI has a lot of problems as it is being implemented under capitalism but genuinely disney needs a massive L here. otherwise this is going to empower giant corporations to go after independent artists even harder than before and take down any kind of fanworks that exist, monetized or not.
