What kind of twisted hell realm are we living in? This image posted by The White House nine days ago depicts a real woman, in handcuffs, crying and being glared at by an ICE agent... using a ChatGPT image filter based on Studio Ghibli movies. Which I'm sure was trained without any regard for copyright or basic human decency. Stop the world, I want to get off.
@therem won't someone think of the drug trafficking illegals?!
@picofarad I don't know who you are, but let me be clear about rules of engagement: if you're trying to mess with me in support of a fascist agenda that also doesn't give a shit about copyright or artistic intent -- of Miyazaki in particular -- then you can fuck right off.

Okay let's get into what fascism really is. On the economic side, fascism supports the merger of state and corporate power (i.e the creation of artificial monopolies).
Copyright (along with other forms of "intellectual property") is when the state gives a person or a group exclusive rights to use a certain idea, thus creating an artificial monopoly on said idea.
It seems like copyright itself is inline with the ideas of fascism.
Dude, don't waste your time.
