“The train track is split. One train track is going, ‘OK, we’re going to participate in this sort of negotiation with the cannibals and we’re going to talk about just how you’re going to be cutting my foot off, and are you going to grill it or boil it, and what kind of sauce are you going to put on it?’” That track is the one that includes generative AI.”

I haven’t followed the strike nor do I care much if it resolves or not, but the AI content has me wondering if actors may appear to be “back to work” when they’re elsewhere. Say…gitmo.

Though the contract hasn’t been shared publicly yet, national executive director Duncan Crabtree-Ireland detailed several aspects of the contract at a press conference Friday, including AI protections that cover consent and compensation if part of an actor’s face or body is used in creating a “synthetic” performer via generative AI.

Ah, the old "just the tip" argument.

Who that biatch? 🤔

I'll ask Skippy what he thinks of all this. (anyone?)
