“This ‘groundbreaking’ AI proposal that they gave us yesterday, they proposed that our background performers should be able to be scanned, get one day’s pay, and their companies should own that scan, their image, their likeness and should be able to use it for the rest of eternity on any project they want, with no consent and no compensation. So if you think that’s a groundbreaking proposal, I suggest you think again.”

    That’s a great idea. Let’s tax the studios accordingly on their increased profits, spend the tax dollars on creating a welfare floor for the acting industry so they can live their best lives acting in whatever they want, and let’s legislate around it so it isn’t used for malicious purposes like slander, fraud or blackmail. We get movies starring favorite actors in a market still dictated by demand, the studios keep making millions like before and the actors can still make a nice living. Everyone wins. Oh, except the ultra greedy.

    Add to that the fact that hollywood is dominated by pedophiles, rapists and psychopaths, and it is obvious to see the laughable corruption in the US government will allow them to take a big fat shit on everything decent once again.

    Eat the rich.
