I hate to nit-pick on such a beautiful story but that it ended with a faux-Ghibli profile picture is just sad.

How can someone working so hard to humanize technology and preserve history, justify this soul-less commodification of art? Do the animators deserve to get treated as anonymous model trainers without their consent, names and frames lost in a dead ocean of bit-vectors?

Thank you for all the efforts that went into preserving the memories of those that built the world around us.
