Disney’s internal Slack was leaked by hackers mad about AI - The hackers claiming responsibility say they advocate for artist rights.


Over a terabyte of data supposedly obtained from Disney’s internal messaging channels has been leaked online by a self-proclaimed “hacktivist group,” including login credentials, code, images, and information about unreleased projects.

The anonymous group calling itself Nullbulge has claimed responsibility for the leak, alleging to have gained access to the company’s Slack messaging data via the compromised computer of a Disney employee. “Anything we could get our hands on, we downloaded and packaged up,” the group said on X, claiming to have obtained “1.1TiB of files and chat messages” from almost 10,000 corporate Disney Slack channels. Disney has since confirmed to The Wall Street Journal that it’s “investigating this matter.”

Nullbulge alluded to possessing the stolen data on July 12th, hours prior to leaking Disney’s Slack archive.

The WSJ reports the files contain internal Disney conversations about software development, recruitment, website maintenance, and employee programs dating back to “at least 2019.” According to Eurogamer, details regarding upcoming gaming collaborations and unannounced video game sequels obtained via leaked files have also started emerging online.

Nullbulge says its goal is to protect artists’ rights and compensation, telling The WSJ it had targeted Disney “due to how it handles artist contracts, its approach to AI, and its pretty blatant disregard for the consumer.”

The perceived threat that generative AI poses to the livelihoods of creative professionals was one of the more notable concerns that motivated unionization efforts for Disney animators, and the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. Disney has also been criticized for using generative AI to produce the credits on its Secret Invasion Disney Plus series, and has reportedly created a task force to examine how AI can be applied across its entertainment portfolio.

IIRC it's some fetish shit. You wanna be an activist group that's taken seriously and you go and name your group after one of your members degenerate deviantart tier fetishes you will never have a good time. This is like the second or third troon/gooner "hacktivist" group that claimed responsibility for shit that gets leaked. Most of the time the way these guys get in and leak shit IIRC is them being employees so like yeah make of that what you will if it was them.

Troon gayops leaks are always lame cause they squat on the shit and drop feed it so they can get twitter/reddit clout about "leaking" before spreading it to people in their cique and then there's he eventual infighting and collapse.

Artists bitching about AI fills me with joy. Every one of these assholes thought their jobs were safe from the AI apocalypse while cheering as blue and white collar workers got the axe.

People claiming artists or jobs in general are going to be replaced by Ai are just another side of the same insufferable coin and it's funny watching those assholes for a different reason. Actual derangement going on over what's functionally a novelty. If I had the programming skills to do so I'd make image generators fueled by shit I draw to see what they churn out for the sake of comedy.

Latching transhumanism shit onto algorithmically collaged mildly schizo images is a recipe for disaster as much as talking to an rng chatbot to make it grade your student's papers is. Neither will end well and both result in hilarious fuckups. The tech for both these things has been around for a while it's just being hyped now marketing wise and people are using algorithm "ai" shit for fun stuff now instead of just tracking people and automating bans or customer support on social media. People really seem to forget this shit's been around.

Since this is the Farms and I feel like planting a nice crop of Horrifying and Islamic Content stickers, I'm going to tell you all what a null bulge is.

We're all at least vaguely familiar with the "nullos" who are a bunch of weirdos who get off to the idea of being completely free of genitalia? Well, since that doesn't let one masturbate at all or have fun under the sheets a "null bulge" is a thing furries thought up that's a rather sexually provocative bulge of flesh on someone's crotch that just so happens to be extremely sensitive. You know, like a giant clit that covers the whole thing in a vertical strip. Naturally since its a furry thing it tends to be rather um... exaggerated in size, much like everything else of theirs.

The best thing a Disney animator can do to have a happy and fulfilling career is DON'T work for Disney.

Even before they went woke?

Even before they went all in on AI?

Even before they got stale and derivative with their output?

There were notorious for treating line artists like shit, up to and including claiming ownership of everything you drew, even if it was on a bar napkin after-hours. You were under contract, so whatever you did? Belonged to The Mouse.

In a more sane world free of furries "null bulge" would probably just be a slang for erectile dysfunction given how bulge is a slang term for dick. I guess all we got is "THE BALLS ARE INERT." and "shooting blanks" for that.

"Yeah Disney ruined the concept of copyright for the entire world, but the more important thing is my grift as a mid tier artist is at an end".

Those artists deserve everything coming to them.

The concepts have been around for half a century, that is true... but it never worked as well as it's working now. If you truly believe AI will be a fad you're gravely mistaken. But well, you don't have to take my word seriously. Just look around you and you'll come to the same conclusion that I have.
