The ai assistant is going to open 30% of meetings with: "Hello. Yes. Can you hear me? Ok. Hold on let me check my mic. I mean speakers. Hello. Um. Yeah. There. Got it. Ok so let's give sjshsb a few minutes to connect."

they do and a judge would eviscerate that clause if it was ever tried. all those TOS are ridiculously broad. the main thing is to do the AI stuff quietly without affecting anyone who can afford the challenge

Crispin Glover had his face stolen by Zemeckis in Back To The Future 2 over a dispute about the portrayal of bourgeois values. Glover wasn't in the film but his face was, hot glued to another actor impersonating him. Crispin raised hell and that's why actors own their likeness and have to sign it away. Studios are having extras who don't know better get paid for 1 day to sell their face which can be used as digital extras "in any media, whether now known or hereafter devised, or in any form whether now known or hereafter devised, an unlimited number of times throughout the universe and forever" (actual contract clause about likeness retention)

even as a crew member my deal memo often signs away my likeness. I don't get scanned but that way any Behind The Scenes material can be released and I can't ask for compensation or to withhold it

There was a claim (happened to poster's friend, a very successful novelist) that publishers are now demanding the right to train AI on manuscripts in contracts, and they are not budging. For those unfamiliar, KKR, formerly known as Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., are vulture capitalists who have destroyed successful companies (Toys R Us, for one) by both leveraged buyouts and pressing for unattainable profits. This is an all-cash deal, but expect Simon & Schuster to publish even fewer non-blockbuster books.

LIVE AMMO COSPLAY posted:Crispin was right about everything It's funny how the story is almost always presented as Crispin being difficult and eccentric and even trying to use the lawsuits to stifle art. He was a worker who wanted more money for a role. Zemeckis wouldn't budge, and so they repurposed the molds used for the aged prosthetics to make another actor look like Crispin. They could have done a traditional recast, written him out, exclusively used footage they already had or any number of other options -including paying the dude properly to come back.

He didn't refuse to come back unless they changed the ending, it just soured him on it. He didn't come back because he was offered far less than anyone else who came back. The lawsuit was because they were shady about replacing him. LIVE AMMO COSPLAY posted:Yeah and he was right Coolness Averted has issued a correction as of 04:34 on Aug 8, 2023 |

If it weren't sold all stupid like that I think the idea of an enforced lunch break is pretty good tbh. Cuz my wife constantly gets guilted into working through hers (everyone else does it and she'd look bad if she didn't!!!) and I'm sure that's pretty common.

I have a feeling it's without, but I really don't get how the American system works it's a very niche program that only a couple of tech companies have tried to implement and marketing it as a sort of "innovation" and progressive generosity to its employees. quote:Microsoft is no longer tracking vacation time for US salaried employees starting Jan. 16, according to an internal announcement viewed by Insider. It's supposed to be paid leave, but as I'd mentioned, it doesn't actually work as well as it sounds at first glance because you're simply pressured into never going on leave

I have a feeling it's without, but I really don't get how the American system works It's used to avoid sudden liabilities when the company lays people off. If PTO is a vague "unlimited" amount, then you can't accrue any and they don't have to pay you out accrual when you part ways. Studies show people in unlimited PTO situations don't take more time off anyway.

Also if you quit or get fired, the company is supposed to pay out any unused vacation time. This is why they get antsy about some employees having many weeks of vacation banked, it's a big liability on the books. Don't have to pay out if you don't have a tracked vacation balance! edit: ^^^ motherfucker edit2: Beaten by a Post Nouveau
