I dunno, i've seen some of the poo poo people waste their time on. we're conditioned over several generations at this point to pay the TV man to have noise and picture in our homes, if quality goes downhill it'll only be a steepening of an already downward curve. the hogs will still pay

Nowadays you can't even really retire with just a million dollars. Ask an Advisor: We're 65, Have $1 Million Saved and $42K in Social Security Benefits. Can We Live on $90K Per Year? quote:My wife and I are both 65 years old. She will retire this year and I’ll work until I’m 67.

Hellworld option is where not only do AIs write the scripts but the "prompt engineer" gets mad when the actors try to make suggestions or improv during filming

like I said I hope I’m wrong but I have a feeling I’m not. the landscape is horrifically not in favor of writers right now unless SAG suddenly discovers solidarity it’s possible CBS or a cable network may sign but not streaming writ large. the pigs will pay and it’s not needed for share prices to keep going sky high. if anything, signing would result in share prices plummeting

AI isn't really suited to replace writers in Hollywood. Despite the fact AI can cheaply create millions of terrible movie scripts, those scripts aren't copyrightable without significant human rework, and despite the copywrite issue studios can only film a small handful of movies and shows anyhow. If you're having people rework schlock, you might as well have them write it. Despite those short-term problems if they pursued AI written works, they would be handing over a significant portion of writing to a for profit company as they do not have the tools and knowledge in house. This would give significant bargaining power to those controlling the Hollywood LLVM model, and as of yet these models are not things that can just be moved from one company to another to chase better rates. AI is a huge minefield for executives who just need to starve out the writers using the same tools they have been using for centuries. Situation now is the execs know audiences like terrible rehashed bullshit and the bar for writing it is much lower than WGA provides and charges for.

99% of the entertainment being produced has scripts that sound like an AI generated them. This is not to say the WGA is wrong. In fact, it means they need more money and more support to not be overworked and to be allowed to write well. gently caress the studios.

Sag will probably strike starting tomorrow morning and negotiations will resume within a few weeks after that. Meanwhile WGA hasn't even gotten a counter offer and a few execs were quoted in articles as aiming for resuming negotiations in late october SAG isn't going to say "please talk to WGA before talking to us" but what they do negotiate will set a standard. DGA negotiated too quickly

mad.radhu posted:This is where I remember that one of the things that made the execs walk away from the table outright was when WGA asked for restrictions on the use of AI From listening to the Going Rogue podcast the Directors Guild of America, whose deals with the studios has traditionally been used by the WGA because the DGA usually just deals with them on their own and that makes the WGA lose all leverage, already got a ban on "generative" AI that might replace workers. AI seems to just be a distraction. It all comes down to sharing revenue from streaming and trying to attach some sort of residuals to the model. Which the studios are apparently willing to burn everything down about. Listen to the Going Rogue podcast

WGA brought talent agents to heel just a few years ago they are a pretty tough org and at some point the entertainment industry will need something to draw more subscribers/ticket sales unless they can put stuff like Tiger King into theaters, which maybe they can

Or how writers who worked on development don't become staff. But the writers don't want to see the old model of writing being an actual career instead of a gig job for the passionate (i.e. trust fund kids who don't need real paycheck and the naive and exploitable excited to break in) go away

without a union their profits will go to infinity so it is worth bankrupting themselves to do it, since then after everything collapses they'll make infinite profits

The other night a friend and I watched some Simpsons for the first time in probably over 10 years and it would be completely believable if you said it was written by an AI trained on the previous 33 years of episodes

meh, the biggest “Hollywood” studios are overdue for a bust cycle. they’ve been shoveling billion dollar garbage out the door for well over a decade and even the rubes cant muster up the will to see the 45th marvel movie or whatever we intentionally stagnated pop culture for the benefit of the market and hopefully the condors have come home to roost
