  @butchriku I don't like it because it's just reeks of Disney influence in the worst way possible

  @ReemDepp I know , but they have to get rid of Disney let someone else take over POTC then we have a change if getting JD back as Jack , Disney is the problem big problem.

  @RogueRevived Eh kinda. The problem is you can't really add original characters to Disney worlds, but you can also ads ff characters that make sense. Like is it not crazy we didn't get Noctis in Big Hero 6 but got 13 vs noctis instead?

  1000% the correct take You can voice your issues with disney But it gets to the point where A you Take it out on good stuff Just for the sake of it And B taking it out on the actors that majority like us love star wars and are doing their jobs

  @Azriel_The_One @fiercepatricks In fact, I just looked it up, church marriage became a legal obligation in the 16th century during the counter-reformation, and some since it’s abandonment already started after the French Revolution and throughout the 19th century, your Disney world image of priests and the church exclusively spending marriages merely held 3-4 centuries. Ridiculous. That’s the problem with people having too little education. Reality is always more complex.

  Many people may not like me for saying this but: Just because Disney screwed up Lucas' properties doesn't mean that Lucas' vision was any better sometimes his vision WAS the problem.

  @Diver_Flemming @scruztiger @jemmm85517813 Feel free to admit that your Disney graph would be characterised as fraudulent if used in any real capacity. Also, for the unwary, feel free to update it by including error bars that highlight the ginormous levels of guesstimating that was required to concoct it. But you won’t.

  @kylebuckley That's always good to know but when they went to the trouble of editing it for Disney+ I wonder if the edit will replace all streaming versions.

  @LucasSWGirl I would want it if they did it right. The problem is that there's no reasonable expectation that Disney will do anything right.

  I've been tracking Korean media debt for months, and this week JTBC's default and junk downgrade just rewrote the playbook for how legacy broadcast operators die in the streaming era. Here's what most people miss: this isn't a liquidity crisis. JoongAng Ilbo (JTBC's parent) is a $2B+ revenue conglomerate. The default happened because the cable TV ad market contracted faster than anyone modeled — and because pivoting to streaming requires capex that traditional debt structures can't absorb. The pattern here is brutal. JTBC invested heavily in original content (Squid Game IP, premium dramas) to compete with Netflix and Disney+. Those bets require years to mature. But broadcast revenue was declining in real-time. You can't service debt on yesterday's cash flow while building tomorrow's platform. That math breaks every time. What actually matters: this is the first major default from a tier-1 Korean media company. Korea's creative output is globally valuable — JTBC's shows have real international reach. But the infrastructure (traditional linear TV + debt financing) couldn't support the transition. Watch what happens to SK Telecom's media plays, CJ ENM's balance sheet positioning, and whether Korean creditors now tighten terms on any media operator still carrying broadcast-era leverage. The second-order effect is quieter but more important. Korean production talent and IP will migrate to platforms with deeper pockets (Netflix, Amazon). That's not new. But JTBC's default signals to every regional broadcaster in Asia that the 2020-2024 pivot strategy — "invest in streaming while servicing broadcast debt" — was a trap. The companies that survived either had balance sheets that could absorb 3-4 years of red ink, or they got acquired early. For investors: this opens an M&A window. Creditors will push for restructuring. That means premium IP on sale, production talent available, and regional studios at distressed valuations. Watch for Chinese or Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds testing offers in the next 6 months. The harder question: if a company with JTBC's creative pedigree couldn't make the transition work, what does that tell you about the survival odds of smaller regional players carrying similar leverage structures? #JTBC #MediaDefault

  @HamRises Imho "indie" is such a large catch-all term that that it's not even that useful of a term anymore. A24 & Glitch can release huge projects & still be considered indie. Major studies like Disney & Sony have branches to put out films they call indie just to appear more prestige.

  @Gee_Dutreix I say never give up! I took a semi truck to the face. They said I might be walking again in 6 months. I was back to doing factory work in 3! The Lord was definitely with me, but I refuse to die until Disney runs out of movies to remake.

  @libby_priest323 I don't understand how Disney think POTC could work without Captain Jack Sparrow...maybe, just maybethey could work out a script of them searching for Jack or something, but he'd still have to appear at the end somehow.

  These were such a bust this year on May the 4th. Disney really didn’t expect to still be selling them into June…..problem is the price tag for a comic and action figure combo should be around $20 at most.

  @MiriOhki @the_Bradster007 I was going to say that but it wasn't a bomb, it was fine, the problem was Tomorrowland crashed and burned which spooked Disney out of their own live action. Legacy at least broke even if not made a little money purely off the box office.

  My coworker and closest work-friend, Maya, was up for the same promotion as me. It was down to the wire, but she was slated to lead a massive, high-profile audit on Wednesday that would practically guarantee her the job. At 7:00 AM Wednesday, she emailed our boss and cc'd me: "Terrible food poisoning. Can't leave the bathroom. I'm devastated, but I have to hand the audit reins over to Sarah today." I stepped up, worked a 14-hour shift, and absolutely nailed the audit. I felt guilty that I was winning the promotion by default due to her misfortune. At 8:00 PM, I went to log my billable hours. Maya and I used to share a Canva account for design projects, which was linked to her personal email and Google photos backup by default. A notification popped up: "New media synced." I clicked it. It wasn't a bathroom. It was a photo of Maya, glowing, sun-tanned, holding a sign that said "Welcome to Disney World," standing next to her boyfriend. The timestamp on the photo was 2:00 PM that afternoon. Right on cue, Maya texted me privately: "Hey babe, how did the audit go? I'm still hovering over the toilet, literally dying. Wish I could have been there to support you."

  In this article Satya argues that every enterprise should build a "learning loop" to retain its institutional IP in an AI world. But with the half life of information based IP collapsing, what actually survives? DeepSeek R1 replicated OpenAI's o1-style reasoning capability in roughly 6 weeks. Released January 2025, on top of an open source base model trained for a fraction of OpenAI's reported spend. The full reasoning approach that took the leading lab years to develop was reverse engineered into an open weights model anyone could download and run. This is the new pattern. Point enough compute at any current capability and you can reverse engineer the solution. This makes the frontier effectively a lead time. And that lead time is shrinking. The same erosion is reshaping every form of information based IP, but each at a different pace. > Algorithmic IP and trade secrets are collapsing. DeepSeek isn't an isolated case. Stable Diffusion replicated DALL-E 2's image generation capability within months of public release. Llama 3.1 405B reached GPT-4-class quality around 16 months after GPT-4 shipped. Every frontier capability has been near-matched by external researchers within 6 to 18 months. Capability reveals itself through outputs. The most expensive part of any research programme is the question of whether the thing is even possible. Once a working system exists in public, that question is answered, and the cost of replication collapses by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude. Point enough compute at a known target and you get there. Trade secrets follow the same logic. Proprietary processes, proprietary scoring systems, proprietary algorithms all become observable through outputs. AI agents accelerate the reverse-engineering by reading patents, scraping outputs, and proposing alternative implementations at the speed of compute. The Coca-Cola formula survived a century because nobody had a chemistry lab in their pocket. That defence is thinner now. > Patents are weakened, and the picture bifurcates. Patents are still legally enforceable. What protection they deliver has changed. For physical inventions (chips, biotech, materials, machinery), patents still bite. ASML's lithography patents are real. Moderna's mRNA patents are real. The reverse-engineering cost on a physical invention is high enough that a patent buys you genuine protection. For software and process patents, the picture is different. Designing around a software patent has collapsed in cost because AI can read the patent and propose 50 alternative implementations within hours. The Alice decision in 2014 already gutted a chunk of US software patents. AI is finishing what the courts started. The bifurcation matters for IP strategy. If your moat depends on software patents, you have a problem. If it depends on physical-world patents over things that are hard to manufacture, you're in good shape. > Copyright still holds, with one narrow caveat. Copyright is the strongest of the traditional IP forms in the AI era. It protects specific expression rather than ideas, which is exactly what generative AI cannot replicate at the level of any one specific work. Brand adjacent copyright (logos, distinctive expression, named characters) is genuinely defensible. Disney's IP portfolio is not diminished by generative AI. The New York Times case against OpenAI for verbatim training-data reproduction is still working through the courts. Most major publishers have already cut licensing deals (NewsCorp with OpenAI, Reddit with Google and OpenAI). The market is pricing the rights. The narrow caveat is the "in the style of" problem. Copyright doesn't stop a generative model from producing an unlimited supply of substitutable content in your aesthetic. Stock photographers, generic illustrators, and style based creators are getting hollowed out. Distinctive named brands and protected creative properties are not. > Specialised data is a 12-36 month moat at most. The smartest move the model labs have made in the last 18 months is the pivot to expert labelled data. Hundreds of millions of dollars are flowing into expert networks and specialised collection. ScaleAI grew revenue by paying senior radiologists, M&A lawyers, and pharma researchers for high quality reasoning traces. Surge AI built a similar business at roughly a $1B run rate. Every frontier lab is chipping away at your 'proprietary data'. The strategy works because expert judgment is scarce and hard to collect. The data is also burning a one time fuse. Once a lab has 100,000 traces of senior radiologist reasoning, the marginal value of the next 10,000 traces collapses. The capability bakes into the next base model and becomes available to anyone with API access. The expert data moat is real, but its half life is measured in quarters, not decades. The genuine exception is data that nobody else can collect even with money. Clinical trial outcomes from a specific cohort. Failure mode records from a physical process nobody else runs. Classified operational data. Proprietary chemistry from a 50 year R&D pipeline. Companies sitting on this kind of data have new durable moats but that set is small. So what's left when information stops being defensible? The protection that survives in 2026 comes from holding market position rather than owning information. 1. Brand. When you can't tell who or what wrote an email, you start caring more about whose name is on it. Brand has been gaining defensive value over the AI cycle. 2. Regulatory permission. Banking, healthcare, defence, energy, aviation. AI doesn't repeal regulation. New AI specific rules (the EU AI Act, US state level frameworks, sector specific guidance) add more compliance overhead, which favours incumbents. 3. Distribution and manufacturing capacity. Visa's payment rails. Apple's app store. TSMC's fabs. ASML's installed base of lithography machines. These depend on physical world constraints that no amount of compute can reverse engineer. 4. Network effects. Uber, Visa, social networks, marketplaces. AI tends to strengthen these by improving the matching layer that sits on top. 5. Customer relationships in high trust categories. M&A advisory, complex enterprise sales, private banking, sensitive consulting. The relationship is the asset, and AI cannot replicate it. 6. Genuinely irreplaceable data. The small set of companies sitting on data nobody else can collect. The companies that win the next 5 years will look more like Visa, ASML, TSMC, and the regulated incumbents than like a 2000s software-patent moat. Position outlasts information in an era where any capability can be reverse engineered by anyone with enough compute. Satya argues for building a learning loop to retain enterprise IP. So yes, build your loop. But understand that the moats that compound over a decade are the ones that don't depend on owning information at all.

  @EdMarkey This is a ridiculous take. The government was pushing a green energy, environment friendly initiative and Tesla was the only company pushing to make EVs. That was the only way they were going to make electric vehicles the new automotive staple. Which was the forefront of the green energy push. NASA was also blowing through cash like a siv. SpaceX’s ideas were so advanced and cheap comparatively, that NASA and the U.S government needed SPaceX’s services to advance the U.S space exploration & satellite growth of the country. His companies aligned with the U.S goals. Micron, intel, Amazon, Alcoa, Cheniere, GM, Texas Instruments, Boeing, Ford, Disney… I can go on and on have received BILLIONS of dollars from the government. The government has and will always help companies that help the governments own agenda. To say he’s only a trillionaire because the government is nonsense. He is a trillonaire because he choose to take stock ownership in the companies either than high salary betting on himself and the companies he was building. Government funding helped as it does for all companies making good strides for America. But to sit around and claim his success is U.S tax payer funded is far from the truth. You should be ashamed of yourself this is just a smear campaign.

  @EmperorJK3D Lucas was never going to make sequels. He had treatments that he gave to Disney and was willing to help, but Disney thought they could do better. The EU in its entirety was canon before Disney, and still is because Disney has no love or respect for the franchise.
