Shueisha, Japan’s largest publisher and home of Shonen Jump hits like One Piece, Dragon Ball, and Demon Slayer, has issued an official statement threatening OpenAI. "This autumn, with the release of OpenAI’s new generative AI service Sora2, a large number of videos resembling famous works have appeared online." "However, such progress cannot be tolerated if it is built upon acts that harm the dignity of authors who have devoted themselves to their creations and violate the rights of many individuals."

Creatives’ fightback against AI exploiting their work has gained massive momentum recently: - Australian government ruled out introducing a copyright exception for AI training - Udio/Universal lawsuit settlement will see Udio cease to exist in its current form - Anthropic settlement gets $1.5B to rights holders; other settlements are expected to follow - When Anthropic fair use decision went AI companies’ way, judge in Meta case strongly disagreed the next day and said many instances of training will not be fair use - Sora launch led to vocal criticism from Japanese rights holders and others, and swift climbdown from OpenAI AI boosters want you to ‘adapt or die’, but creatives are gaining huge amounts of ground - backed up by an overwhelming majority of the public. Keep fighting 🙌

Guillermo del Toro asked all of us to scream FUCK AI after his Frankenstein Q&A at the Chinese Theater tonight 🫡

Gen AI is what happens when you ship something about 8 years too early and hope it doesn't catch up with you.

Guillermo del Toro says he'd "rather die" than use artificial intelligence, "particularly generative AI," in any of his future films: "AI, particularly generative AI — I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I’m 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. … The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I’d rather die.'" variety.com/2025/film/news/g…

Gen-AI has no place in voice acting, animations, video games, or any form of creative media. Plain and simple. Support real artists.

“Fuck AI” — Guillermo del Toro 🎥 @VanityFair

can we just make the internet 2 already and start over

The fact that this tweet of mine is now at almost 600k likes is absolutely insane. People are sick of AI. Ever since posting this, I've been bombarded with messages about how happy people are that they can finally filter out the slop. We need to keep fighting.

TOMORROW Mohrta finally releases I hope everyone who plays it enjoys it. It's been a really long journey to create this game. We seriously put everything we could into it, and I can only hope that comes through. Extremely excited.

40% of employees are reporting wasting an average of 2 hours at a time cleaning up AI-generated workslop, per CNN

In light of recent events

It takes some kind of balls to even suggest this to the creator of The Wire:

Jim Lee says DC Comics will not support AI-generated storytelling or art. “What we do, and why we do it, is grounded in humanity... no algorithm can replicate [that]... true effort, inspiration, and perspiration” (Source: piped.video/watch?v=7oTWrFJ5…)

Da supporty real artists!

AI IS A DETERRENT FOR ME AS A CONSUMER. I WILL ACTIVELY AVOID PRODUCTS WITH AI, I WILL RECOMMEND ALTERNATIVE AI-FREE OPTIONS, AND MY OPINION ON A COMPANY IS ALWAYS SOURED BY USE OF AI

Robin Williams daughter Zelda is pleading with people to stop creating AI videos of her Dad I’m pleading with you to stop using gen AI It’s destructive to the environment It’s destructive to artists It’s destructive to humanity It steals from us & creates slop. Just say no

retweet if you actually just fucking hate AI

There should be a "not interested because this is AI" button so the algorithm can learn how much humans don't want that stuff.
