Thing is, Tesla is not making much on each car they sell now, given how many discounts they need to offer. They were making a lot of money on regulatory credits, but these are likely to be gone already (in theory the companies should continue to buy them, but the Bill signed by Trump removes any penalties for not doing so effective immediately).
So yeah, sales may jump in the US (and will continue to crater in EU and China), but that won't do much for their profits. It can only help 'move the metal' as they say.
It will specifically stop you if you try and ask it for the style of Disney or marvel, while Sama specifically tweeted an example of Ghibli. There is very clearly a conscious choice around which companies IP they protect, and which they're happy to exploit (eg, not US companies).
Like the "Her" tweet, I suspect this is another moment of Sama being bloody thoughtless and may very well come and bit him in the ass when he inevitably tries to deny this in the future.
EDIT: Okay, really weirdly, I tried this when this first came out and definitely seemed to hit a content policy block. and now it works.
I just asked it "Make an image of a karate fighter in the style of a disney animation" and it did it in distinct Disney style. What it produced did not look like public domain steamboat willy or anything either, more 60s era Disney.
Where are you getting this? It may have been after they reduced refusals recently and it wouldn't do it before?
Disney is also the Ghibli distributor in the US aren't they?
Strangely, if you're going to mess with IP in any country, Japan is one of the ones that you should not. Japanese law is infamously brutal about copyright and has no concept of fair use, so you can get smacked very easily by it.
I guess they don't have assets in Japan to risk and therefore don't care.

That's the benefit of being a corporation that keeps its physical presence in its home country, especially in the internet age. Perhaps the US gov could sponsor Starlink as a way to break local ISP bans…
Incorrect. I just asked ChatGPT to show an image in the style of Disney/Pixar, and another in the style of a Marvel superhero. Both worked without complaint.
I would share the conversation but it's not generating a link ("Sharing conversations with user uploaded images is not yet supported.")
Was just pointing that out since OP was saying it would refuse on Disney styles, though Disney doesn't have the copyright to Ghibli they still have US interests in the IP. But what he was saying doesn't seem to be true, it will do disney style drawings like it will do Ghibli.
(edit: from another reply it sounds like Disney is no longer the Ghibli distributor though, I guess that's why they are on HBO Max and not Disney+
Styles aren't copyrighted anyway, Steven Spielberg has produced Disney-style animated movies outside of Disney, and Disney has taken styles from others)
To back up the poster, Open AI loosened their rules. Earlier this week I did “dark wing duck as a knight” and it generated half and then said it couldn’t due to copyright. The same prompt now returns the image. Assume good faith instead of flying off and accusing people of being blind acolytes based on your personal idea of who they are.
This is an interesting point because it shows top-level control of output - by allowing one type of infringement rather than all types of infringement, it’s a human based decision. It’s only a matter of time before AI crosses into trademark domain issues and that’s where the big money lawyers will likely step in. As in, it harms the mark and it can be financially damaging unless stopped - and these systems clearly can be stopped from certain outputs.
Don't immediately believe what you read on Hacker News, certainly not to the point where you'd jump to such a significant conclusion over it.
ChatGPT is simply inconsistent about enforcing rules. Sometimes you ask it to generate an image and it says no, and then you ask it again in a slightly different way and it happily does it for you. One time I asked it to generate an image for me and it told me "I can't generate an image of Elon Musk but I can generate an image of someone who looks like Elon Musk. Let me know if you'd like me to do that instead", and the generated image looked exactly like Elon Musk.
xAI is a separate company from X/Twitter, founded by Musk.
xAI licenses data from X/Twitter for training.
It’s not clear the exact financial deals between the two companies.
The “think of the children” type of excuses is always helpful. Strange to use a terrorism excuse though since there is already negative sentiment about “too many AirBnB apartments in our city”
All statements from Tesla engineers on Twitter is that they continue to work on both HW3 and HW4 for v13. Just because HW3 has smaller power it doesn’t mean that there is no future for it. A smaller model could still work it with good performance. We have similar advances from other AI companies where a newer model works better on less hardware
