Re: Actors' strike

(Anonymous) 2023-07-16 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
AFAIK there are two big issues driving both the writers' and the actors' strikes.

The first one is residuals - basically, small payments that writers and actors receive over time as things they've worked on continue to make money through things like DVD sales, reruns on TV, stuff like that. These are crucial to allowing actors and writers to make a living, but they're small at the best of times, and now there's a huge argument over how much studios should have to pay in residuals for things based on streaming views.

The second major issue is staffing issues, where the actors and writers want to make sure that studios continue hiring enough actors and writers. And the biggest part of that is AI, because studios want to be able to do things like use generative models to write scripts, or scan background actors' likenesses and then use AI to digitally generate them in the future instead of continuing to hire background actors, and cut down the number of actors and writers they hire at all. And there's also other staffing things for the writers, because writers get a really raw deal. But those are probably the two biggest concerns.

Thank you! Very informative. The AI stuff is so creepy I had no idea about any of that!
