My first time seeing someone go to bat for Kadokawa, considering how they treat their employees.
Kadokawa group sucks.
I hope they release it.
It’s pretty cool. https://github.com/Acly/krita-ai-diffusion?tab=readme-ov-file
Here’s one. Did they overfit their model and think they could block the bad prompts?
Music copyright is such a shitshow. It doesn’t surprise that they would try this.
Edit: I just heard the generated songs that are part of the lawsuit. They’re pretty fucked if this is true,
Image goes hard.
If it’s the same one from a few months ago, the wording is so vague that only huge companies with legal departments will be able to navigate the compliance maze they’ve set up.
At least it’s not Bandai, but it’s likely gacha since it’s releasing on the AppStore, GooglePlay, and Steam.
The model should be capable of much better than this, but they spent a long time censoring the model before release and this is what we got. It straight up forgot most human anatomy.
Have you read this article by Cory Doctorow yet?
You’ve got it backwards. Glaze and Nightshade aren’t FOSS and Ben Zhao, the University of Chicago professor behind them stole GPLv3 code for glaze. GPLv3 is a copyleft license that requires you share your source code and license your project under the same terms as the code you used. You also can’t distribute your project as a binary-only or proprietary software. When pressed, they only released the code for their front end, remaining in violation of the terms of the GPLv3 license.
Moreover, Nightshade and Glaze also only works against open source models, because the only open models are Stable Diffusion’s, companies like Midjourney and OpenAI with closed source models aren’t affected by this. Attacking a tool that the public can inspect, collaborate on, and offer free of cost isn’t something that should be celebrated.
This is art.
This article didn’t elaborate much further than what was in the headline. I feel duped.
I hope he makes it to the couch alright.
It’s a little late to be putting flash games on YouTube. This would have made so much sense 18 years ago.
What about this?
So Kadokawa had this failing mobile game named Kemono Friends, but they wanted a TV anime for it, so they get Omoto Tatsuki to direct it. He takes their product and actually turns it into something people want to watch, going as far as, releasing supplemental clips from the show on Twitter and even arranging a collaboration with the Tobu Zoo in Saitama Japan. This collab gave us the tragic saga of Grape-kun the Humbolt Penguin, a meme in its own right. Since the show didn’t have much of a budget he hired no-name voice talent, launching their carriers thanks to the popularity of the show.
Ultimately, it was the clips on Twitter that did him in if rumors are to be believed. He was sharing clips as usual, but Kadokawa wanted that content for the home video special features, so they fired him abruptly. He already saved Kemono Friends for them, so they cut him loose.
I’m interested to see who else they screwed over, considering they also got caught bribing the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee to secure a sponsorship deal.
