Disney’s Account Sharing Crackdown

Starting in June, Disney Plus is set to enforce its password-sharing crackdown, with CEO Bob Iger announcing the introduction of paid sharing options in selected countries.
We will see Disney Plus rolling out to both new and existing subscribers the option to officially share their accounts for an additional fee [kinda like what happened with Netflix].
Disney is also enhancing its streaming service engagement by merging Disney Plus and Hulu content into a single app, aiming to reduce churn and increase viewer stickiness through improved recommendation engines and unified user identities across its platforms.
Sora Competitor
Former Snap AI Chief Launches Higgsfield AI
![](https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/6a669023-7481-40fe-9a21-a9ecf922f227/074UZC7dclwtdwwMHKjRbnN9W4c-ezgif.com-resize.gif?t=1712301559)
Alex Mashrabov, formerly of Snap, has launched Higgsfield AI, a platform set to rival OpenAI's Sora with its own AI-powered video generation tool, Diffuse.
Higgsfield allows for the creation of personalized videos directly from text prompts or by transforming selfies into starring roles in generated clips.
Unlike Sora, Higgsfield aims for accessibility with a mobile-first approach, promising ease of use for social media content creation on the go.
Despite being developed by a small team and limited resources, Higgsfield is carving out their own niche in social media marketing for real-time, realistic video content generation.

Camera Turns Every Photo Into A Nude
![](https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/cf0446ba-3792-4328-a363-5b2af923eb46/nude_cam.png?t=1712300886)
NUCA, a provocative art project by Mathias Vef and Benedikt Groß, has introduced a 3D-printed camera prototype that uses AI to transform every captured photo into a nude image within seconds.
The camera operates by analyzing the photo's subject via a server, then generating a nude image using existing AI tools and a face swap technique to personalize the result.
This camera won’t ever hit the public market, but it will definitely stir the debate on the implications of technology that is able to create nonconsensual images.
