  @magicnextdoor_ Respectfully, this isn’t a locals vs. tourists issue. Many locals are AP & DVC members who spend thousands at Disney every year. Wanting reasonable access to transportation & resort areas doesn’t mean people think Disney is their backyard. It means we’re customers too.

  @Delta35238779 @Leelee2732 Corrin is just a Disney princess who lived mostly alone in a tower after getting kidnapped as a child and was somehow assigned the role of leader The problem isn't Corrin. The problem is their siblings who decided that Corrin was qualified for the role of leader

  Driver at Disney told me about the Candlelight Precession at Epcot (Whoopi, Ming Na, Jodi Benson, etc were sweet as pie, Andy Garcia was drunk) said NPH was the worst. Cold. Didn't even go to the banquet they have afterwards to meet the kids. Put a baseball cap on and darted out.

  @ScriptTrooper I left the theater numb. Within 24 hours I was enraged. Nothing other than the work in question did that. Huge financial miscalculation by @Disney. They must have absolutely known this would be the fan reaction but underestimated the second and third order effects on the bottom line.

  @Rekha39893679 @twiliqthzone yeah, she's really talented... Fox was awful, and with Disney wanting them to end it asap, the situation only worsened. Tho I still give Fox credit for their X-Men movies being the parents of modern superhero movies, I thank heavens they shut down that studio.

  @kijuler Pretty sure Nomura’s even said the only worlds that had restrictions were the Pixar ones where they were told they HAD to make an original story. Every other Disney world had a big issue with just repeating the movie plot, and it’s not like Arendelle was a unique case.

  @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.

  @wdwmagic They're doing this because people were using Disney springs to bypass parking fees, the problem is that you can literally just walk to saratoga springs and take a bus from there. That's pretty much what I did before I got my annual pass.

  @ISodorrailway @itsamedfffaz @Beyondreporter1 The visual quality of this film, like pretty much every film from Walt Disney Animation, is excellent. Nobody calls it ugly, so why are you defending it with the tone of someone who's supposedly an expert in visual arts when you're not?

  @tscot3 @ShawnNOrlando Not at all. If it’s a problem, like many are saying, I think they’ll go that route. Or like they do right now, if you want to drive into a resort and you are not on Disney transportation you have to show that you are a guest or have reservations for dining or spa.

  @SonicFront70231 And how exactly is this gonna solve anything? Whether you like it or not, Disney owns Star Wars now. So, instead of wishing for its demise, why not help come up with ideas that will improve the franchise and win back the trust of fans who have phased out of the series?

  @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.

  @UniversoMagic12 @Hridoy2323 @DPrincess_Facts that's not true, her movie made more money than Mulan and especially flop film Tiana. Issue was that Bob Iger replaced Michael Eisner as Disney CEO and Eisner's fav movie was Hunchback. Iger became CEO in 2005 when Esmeralda was removed from the franchise.

  Disney has so many old IPs for Twisted Wonderland to work with but they keep fumbling it. Can't do Robin Hood? Then do Gummy Bears Can't do the Incredibles or Big Hero 6? Then do Darkwing Duck 3rd kinda was done... Last one they WILL F-That up...

  @StelliferaCnida The issue is they could be from dozens of series, they look no different than something ubisoft or disney would cook up. Miis are established and iconic (And from what I played of Sports 1 on switch, the Sportsmates were NOT personable, hardly any customization)

  @KeyWatkins51299 And I am sorry to say that you are objectively wrong, and not a Star Wars fan. Nothing is going to fix the problems of the Disney trilogy. In fact, we are beyond just the Disney trilogy being the main problem. Every single piece of DSW media has done irreparable damage.

  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

  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.
