I’ve seen headlines about actors/actresses protesting about stuff. The same goes for other creative talent in the entertainment industry. What’s going on there? What are their demands? What fueled these protests all of a sudden?

    One of the issues that was reported on about the SAG (actor’s union) strike was the studios trying to get actors to agree to be face scanned for CGI in exchangs for a one- time payment with no royalties or residuals and no other rights

      I’m behind the strikers 100% but it would be real nice to be able to collect royalties forever for the product of my labor.

        To be fair there’s product of your labor and then there’s your labor is literally your likeness. We gotta get ahead of AI regulation cause oh man it’s ripe for exploitation of likenesses
