OpenAI is using Studio Ghibli-style memes as an ad hoc promotional campaign for its new image generator—despite Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki's famous hatred of AI. Sam Altman made his X avatar a 'Ghiblified' portrait.
Disgracing Miyazaki is part of the point: It's more proof to them tech has won.

Meghan's show seems incredibly tone-deaf. It's straight out of a 2017 Pinterest board at the same time as the country - if not the world - is on the verge of chaos.
Of course it was all filmed a long time ago but it really seems particularly irrelevent.
