OpenAI announced Thursday it paused the ability for users to generate videos resembling the late civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. using its AI video model, Sora. The company says it’s adding this safeguard at the request of Dr. King’s estate after some Sora users generated “disrespectful depictions” of his image.“While there are strong free speech interests in depicting historical figures, OpenAI believes public figures and their families should ultimately have control over how their likeness is used,” OpenAI said in a post on X from its official newsroom account. “Authorized representatives or estate owners can request that their likeness not be used in Sora cameos.”

We should be able to nonchalantly hold a wry smile concerning centralised companies censoring what can and can't pass as acceptable.
But even Bitcoin is infiltrated with crusaders determined to decide what's acceptable 🤦

The difference with bitcoin ought to be that it's futile for the crusaders. But time will tell if that's actually true.

Hahaha! Nice one. I just hope the families of dead tyrants don’t find out they can ask to stop their image being used in feel-good videos. Ahah

As time ticks by, I become more and more convinced that OpenAI is the new Facebook and sama is the new zuck. It's the first to enshittify, per #1257150.

I’m afraid Sama’s heading down that road... just a question of when he hit the finish line.
