    “They’ve built a library of small building blocks for character movements. These blocks can be combined in various ways to create a wide range of animations.”

    That’s what they patented. Their animations a tiny bit more modular. The patent and copyright system is literally only their to fuck us.

      Sounds like AI driven animation which is not something that they have a copyright over.

      I love how you quoted an invention summary as though that was all there is to the technology.

      If it wasn’t novel or inventive, they wouldn’t have received a patent for it. They’re not just giving them away for a laugh, there is an entire independent process to determine whether something is worth patenting.
