I pirate a game. It costs the publisher £60.
I delete the copy off my storage and pirate it again. I have now cost the studio £120.
I repeat this 1 billion times.
The publisher, under the turmoil of 60 billion pounds being stolen from it, files for administration and goes under, its workforce now without jobs.

It’s wild how fast I lost interest in space travel when it stopped being presented as a collective accomplishment and became a competition between a handful of morally bankrupt white men.

In Pratchett's Thief of Time, the Auditors of Reality grind down artwork in the museum to find out what makes it art. But all they can find are pigments and binder. And they are SO ANGRY.
This is what these AI art people remind me of. They really don't understand what makes art special and are angry that they don't have it.

Opus 1.5 dropped, with AI extensions.
NOTE: this should be a huge note - the way Opus uses neural networks is completely different to all other ways they're used, particularly for low-bitrate speech enhancements.
