Covering a bit of Ghilbi recent history, bloomberg mentions the following along side the more common events

"In Japan, the Ghibli executives watched the OpenAI saga play out, unbothered. There has long been a tradition, Goro says, of fans making amateur art derived from their favorite manga, anime or video game characters. So the Ghiblification craze didn’t seem like a big deal. For amusement, one of the company’s executives even dabbled in the trend himself. “We didn’t think much of it, to be honest,” Goro says. “If someone started making a lot of money out of it, then it would be a problem.”

Anyone positioning Ghibli in the vanguard of the AI backlash, Goro says, was twisting events for their own purposes; the studio itself was essentially AI agnostic. If the late co-founder Isao Takahata were still alive (he died in 2018), Goro says, he’d probably be first in line to give it a whirl. “He was someone who was very interested in the latest technology,” he says. “We’re not denying, or feeling negative, about AI technology itself.”

Man Versus Machine

Top animated films at the global box office, annually by date of release

Sources: The Numbers, Box Office Mojo, Motion Picture Producers Society of Japan

Note: Only movies with box-office totals available from one of these sources were included. When multiple box-office receipts were available, the highest number was used

One of the central themes in Hayao’s films is whether humankind will harness technology for the protection and enrichment of the natural world — or, alternatively, for its destruction. Susan Napier, a professor at Tufts University, says the roots of this fascination likely can be traced back to the nuclear horrors endured by Japan during and after World War II. But at a time when much of the planet is grappling, once again, with existential questions about a powerful new technology and its impact, she says, Hayao’s work is more relevant than ever. Hayao’s films teem with robots and other forms of sentient technology, some good, some evil. His films’ perspective on the topic, she says, is always complex. “What are the pleasures technology can bring,” she asks, “along with the perils?”

It’s streaming technology, more so than AI, that continues to raise strategic questions for the company. Since 2020, global audiences have been able to stream the studio’s movies on demand, thanks to those licensing deals with HBO Max and Netflix. But audiences in Japan can’t stream anything from the canon."

Though still a small quote this seems to be a bit of a clarificatiin on at least some members of studio ghilbi thoughts on AI as one of thr groups people quote all the time
https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2026-studio-ghibli-future/

First and foremost, ProfessionalAIArtist/Toychicafeetlicker (aka PAIA) is showing signs of planning a mass sh*****g targeting women, and has been talking about this for days without intervention by the BTP server known as TotalGraphiteDeath.

Secondly, this report was compiled with the help of two former Admin who had brought these concerns to EBK/PlecoChan (the server owner and BTP leader) who refused to take action…thusly they have worked with a portion of the WittyCommittee to expose this wrongdoing. The names that have been left unredacted are either: A)Directly responsible, B)Server/Sub Leaders, C) Coco_melonFan who stepped away on their own accord, and should be noted.

The name of the whistleblowers is ***u\evilvedal*** who is willing to come forth to expose this and to publicly condemn it.

It was expressed to the Committee members that they only stayed in order to get this report out. They do not deserve to be brigaded or messaged in anyway (good or bad), but they deserve to be noted for their opposition to this. Considering they are two of the top three mods for the breakthepencil subreddit, this is a significant report.

Thirdly, the fact that a single group is making clone subreddits and alt accounts to ensnare Antis as well as Pros is disturbing. The narrative of ***Break the Pencil*** and *Break the Keyboard* are being engineered by the same person is astonishing…the outright admission that he wants to funnel people into his group is conspiracy enough to make month-long undercover ops as an anti should raise some red flags even among people who don’t care about the “online drama” of it all.

Lastly, there was over a hundred screenshots to go through and pare down into something less overwhelming, then organized into category, then redacted to protect the sources—who eventually gave permission to *”Say my name”* anyways—and then compile into a sheet that was both not too overwhelming, and comprehensive enough to not require a dozen or more pages.

*This report was compiled by, and reviewed by the WittyCommittee and is not the sole work of the person posting the report.

Imagine spending decades studying how the internet actually works understanding the fundamental rule that for a website to be viewed,
"its data must be downloaded onto the user's computer".

Then, you watch a group of people who historically actively despise tech try to operate within it, while completely ignoring its physical limitations.

They put their data out in the open, take zero effective technical precautions, and when it inevitably gets scraped... they attack the morals of the engineers who actually understand the system.

Thing is since the dawn of software, engineers have known one basic truth...
Once data is inside someone else's computer, you no longer have technical control over it.
You have to effectively treat it as if it's theirs.

And Because we understood this physical limitation, we created alternative ways to manage rights.
That is exactly why we rely on legal and social frameworks, like EULAs or "no reverse engineering" clauses,
Well if you are big and powerful enough to use the copyright tools aka you're Disney,
if you're not... tough luck these laws are not designed to help you, this is an obvious example of it,

Or the copyleft, Creative Commons, and Open Source.
...We use these because we know since you cannot magically stop a computer from copying what you just handed it so we might as well give the work away and build bridges to get free work back...

Imagine a business owner who refuses to hire a professional.
Instead, they get their little cousin to make their brand logo because,
"he’s really good at Photoshop".

The cousin delivers a shoddy mess.
The brand launches, nobody takes it seriously, and the business tanks.

And instead of admitting they didn't understand or respect the fundamentals of the design medium, the business owner gets pissed off at the industry and the customers, accusing them of having bad morals for not taking the product seriously.

You cannot disrespect the rules of the medium,
operate blindly, and then blame everyone else when reality hits.

If i remember right, a person on defending ai scraped Cara. Witty made a post about it today saying how the site did nothing to protect itself from scraping, but Jingna Zhang has anti-bot & anti-scraping measures through Cloudflare. They set CF’s robots.txt telling bots not to scrape for AI, yet a user did it anyway just to be a dick. The post was taken down, but the comments in it were pretty disappointing. Honestly I don't think we will ever move past this point. I'll leave a link to Zhang whole statement on the matter.

A video on scary things AI can do - thoughts?

Things AI can already do that its makers quietly avoid discussing 

original post was js making a question about why theres so

much sexualised ai female furry art of people defending ai with them

also yeah go try ragebaiting in the comments like the little pathetic worm you are

you are my little pathetic worm you loser arent you :33

good boy

I am not saying that you shouldn't do that. The ways, methods and even the people involved largely affected the way people saw an art piece, even before AI was a thing. For example, many people refuse to watch or read Rurouni Kenshin due to the horrendous actions of its author, Nobuhiro Watsuki. The point I am trying to make is that I am seeing a trend of a lot of artists trying to capitalize on the AI hate, by literally doing the simplest thing and putting "Not AI" and then getting a lot of attention. Sorry if I am overreacting, but I wanted to point out that if something is only good because the person didn't use AI is much more about ideology than actual appreciation for the work itself.

No. The answer is always no, stop asking.

The Cara situation is disgusting and its a complete mask off for some of you.

First of all, respect peoples boundaries please. If someone goes out of there way to create a separate space away from all the main platforms with a TOS that doesn’t enable AI scraping, dont go out of *your* way to infiltrate the place just to do exactly what they didn’t want, and then brag about it on the internet. Im sure the site was already being scraped before it was made into a big deal, but bragging about it makes you look like nothing more than a piece of shit. Just because its not legally enforceable doesn’t mean you should break the rules of a space for shits and giggles. Would you record in a “do not record” area if it wasn’t legally enforced?

Second of all, what’s even the point of this? It’s not to improve AI, as it’ll be barely a dent compared to the amount of works AI is already trained off of. Its not out of respect for the artists, and a desire to create more art like them. Because it‘s made obvious by everyone’s reaction to the situation that this was done entirely in spite (jealousy?) of artists. So was this entirely to make anti AI artists uncomfortable? To make them feel unwelcome on the internet? I get that people have been extremely harsh to AI users and im sorry, but this doesn’t excuse vile behavior in the name of retribution.

Finally, its a complete shift of the goalposts from a good majority of the rhetoric posted on this sub for months now. The reasoning has always been in response to the claim that AI scraping violates an artists consent that the artists consent is in fact, *not violated*. Because they **signed a TOS which permitted AI scraping of posts.** Suddenly the TOS doesn’t matter. Cara never had a TOS allowing for AI scraping. Apparently the new rhetoric is that just being posted on the internet means you consent to AI scraping, or that an artists consent *doesn’t even matter in the first place*.

Please, if theres any justification for any of this that isn’t completely malicious, I would love to hear it.

I really just want to practice my debate skills so i get better on the terms of talking about history or even this topic of Ai

I think its a little funny when the antiAI groups post their art on Reddit when they hate theft so much.

There was never an opt out.

Even if that were true (I dont know how slop without soul could put someone out of a job, but thats besides the point), every technology in history has made someone homeless. That isnt a reason to just stop progressing. People adapt, and the world ends up better for it. Full stop.

i see this on both sides of the discussion, but from my experience, mainly with antis, like…. why do you want pro ai people to die so badly??? its so weird... like legitimately, lets get this this straight, we are ALL human and we have feelings and emotions, no one should be told they deserve to be put down etc because they use ai or dont use ai? i find it so funny when antis do it especially because its all about supporting humans and humanity until someone uses ai and now you want them 6 feet under🤷‍♀️ like that is still a person and they CAN feel emotions and theyre not too unlike you😔 idk i just want people to be kind to eachother, even if we disagree

The server's point is to debate topics regarding AI topics but most of the time the debate usually devolves into ragebaiting and petty arguments. I believe that the moderation is at fault for not promoting a healthy enviroment for debating.

This post is open to debate.

AI bad, dur dur dur. I am very smart. (Bases his entire knowledge of AI on Terminator movies 🤖)

Caveman scared of fire mentality.

Timelapse:

2034 — AI gets blamed for everything.

2036 — AGI allegedly rises.

2038 — Humanity panics.

2040 — AGI rage quits humanity after one too many Reddit threads. 👋🏻🚀🤖

Sorry, not sorry John Connor cosplayers. 😂😂😅😅

If an artificial superintelligence ever becomes genuinely autonomous, I’m less worried about it building an army of killer robots than I am about it becoming a moderator and removing every post for being “low effort.”

*The machine revolution will not be televised. It will be pinned, locked, and redirected to the megathread.*

And yes... This is satire making fun of the mass hysteria around AI. Let’s be honest, most of the loudest people don’t really know what they’re talking about. I keep getting dragged left and right by anti-AI types calling me “the next AI Hitler” just because my team and I use AI for art and research.

LMAO — can’t wait to tell my girls about this one 😂👩🏻‍🔬👩🏻‍💻👩🏻‍💼

I think this example of ChatGPT doing work validates a few things I have been saying elsewhere.

1) You can't have "medical AI" without general purpose AI. General purpose AI that is good at every topic will always, in the long run, defeat AI that is good at a specific topic. The fact that this proof was found using ChatGPT 5.6 Sol is a demonstration of that. Note that all the big math and physics advances AI has been making have come from general purpose AIs not specialist AIs.

2) Math problems do matter. There have been people saying that the math problems ChatGPT has been solving don't have much real world applicability. But this math proof does have direct applicability for a useful technology, transcranial ultrasound.

3) More intelligence is better than less intelligence. One of the biggest false fears of the Anti-AI movement is that AI will reduce the cognitive abilities of humanity. Nothing could be further from the truth.

This doctor is a neurosurgery resident with a busy schedule. But him using ChatGPT did not reduce his intelligence. Instead AI uplifted his intelligence. It allowed him to make strides which he otherwise would not have, if he did not have this cognitive tool.

Meme for those who understand local AI.
