Disconnect - Generative AI closes off a better future

Recommended reading from @parismarx

"Tech determinists want us to believe that new technologies are inevitable and we can’t possibly shape or stop them; the best we can do is prepare for what’s in store. But I think most people realize that’s self-serving industry propaganda from people who want to keep deciding which technologies should be developed and how they should be deployed instead of relinquishing that power to the public."

Since new productions are on hiatus, I think this is a good time to join the & with the viewers strike and demand shorter movies (like 1h30-2h10) instead of those 3-4h monstrosities that are currently running wild in the movie industry.

Numerous members of B.C. film also worried that the new extension to their existing agreement might mean the province could become a haven for studios to use to generate background actors using data from previous body scans. ( has a long history of reusing human expression; one man’s exasperated yell, dubbed the Wilhelm Scream, has been reused in dozens of popular movies since the 1950s.)

But it's also bad news for publishing workers, a historically exploited and undervalued workforce whose labor conditions have only declined as the number of employers in the sector dwindled, leading to mass resignations:

It should go without saying that workers in sectors with few employers get worse deals from their bosses (see, e.g., the and ).

Prior to the SAG/AFTRA strike, Hollywood studios were already forcing actors to be scanned for AI reproduction. Actors said they felt they had no choice, due to fears of retaliation.

This is why we need to support the . I stand with the actors, 100%.

What is , you ask? Aren't auditions just opportunities or job interviews?

Here's what our current union contract says:

"If the performer is given employment in the picture, he shall not be entitled to compensation for auditions or tests... if the performer is not given employment in the picture, the performer shall receive 1/2 day of pay."

If we were paid to audition as we should be, there would be middle-class actors.
