Actors join writers on strike
claydavis > 13/07/2023, 21:40
Most people will remember the 2007 Writer's strike and how it effected TV shows like Lost and Heroes. Today SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher confirmed that for the first time since 1960 actors will join writers on the picket line. Fun fact, the president of the screen actors guild at that time was Ronald Regan and that is when they secured rights like residuals, pensions and healthcare. The stars of Oppenheimer left the premier tonight to join their colleagues in protest, and from this point forward no members of the union will be doing any promotional work for their films including the upcoming San Diego Comic Con. Whilst the Director's union have agreed a deal with AMPTP, the writers and actors request appears to be still stumbling over the residuals for streaming platforms and the use of AI, in terms of companies having the rights to an actors appearance and voice in perpetuity. Even the women that work on here might need to unionise, someone behind the camera probably still profits from the content that someone in front of the camera created years after they retire, when someone views, streams, downloads or buys their pictures and videos. After watching the WHAM! documentary on Netflix it did make me think about how musicians previously had issues with their record labels, and then there was the rise of Napster that brought about music streaming and how artists still earn barely nothing for their music, unless they're a global superstar that can make money from touring, merchandise and sponsorships.

LOOOOOL. The geniuses behind this incredible website need to steal this idea from Hollywood. Just get all the women on here to come in for one day, pay them a pittance, scan their bodies and record their voices. Then you'll never have to pay them ever again, but still be able to use them forever to create content that users on here will pay thousands every day to wank over. The potential to make billions from an AI Reede Fox is too big an opportunity to miss. There will be no limits, women from the past and future could combine to do and say whatever users want, and they can create whatever type of content users demand from them LOOOOOL.

LOOOOOL Skynet is slowly but surely taking over and will soon become our overlords. Indian TV has now got an AI news presenter and and AI model on Instagram got 61k followers before her account was closed.
