[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This strike is the canary in the AI coal mine. [/quote] Except most of us won’t be striking when we get replaced. We will be trying to get into different fields.[/quote] This. Not everyone can make a living as an actor. I do take issue with greedy film production companies who don’t pay fair wages, but it seems like a risky industry with an odd way of handling money. The industry will never operate the way normal businesses do. [/quote] But they're signing a long term contract that is being threatened by an emerging technology. AI isn't mature enough to replace actors, and actors want to set the terms so they can be compensated fairly for their contribution. AI learns from existing content, and the guy they use to produce Waiter #3 wants to be paid in perpetuity rather than a one time sale of his likeness. They need to define how residuals will work as the industry evolves, because they already got screwed over with streaming.[/quote]
