discolé monade Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 i'm just glad that dimension 20 is going to continue with what was already 'written' and continue with the 'ravening war' and the side quests. i also think they were able to get a few of the 'game shows' written before all this. most of the players are both writers/actors/comedians, so i imagine they are torn between their livelyhood and standing with their fellow writers. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1pooh4u Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Writers have been watching their salaries decrease over the last 20 years when everyone else in the studio is making more than ever. Studios are acting like they’re not worried because they have plenty of stuff to release….until they don’t. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatch Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 In pressing Zaslav-ological news, the WBD CEO is going to be giving a commencement speech at Boston University this weekend, not too far from where I live. How disgusting. The WGA has planned a picket for it, and the local chapter of the DSA plans on joining in. Funnily enough, it wasn't until glossing over the article just now that I found out he went to school there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the point is they are devaluing the actual jobs of the people involved in films and equating them to the average YouTuber or tiktoker.... thereby paving the way the have things like "writers" removed from credits and allow content creation to be the norm and that makes AI totally ok.

1pooh4u Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 They changed the wording from “writers” to “creators” yeah they’re definitely making room for AI and other dumb shit with that wording Just saw the BU commencement ceremony where the graduates booed the CEO or COO of Warner Bros Discovery.

Yeah, to elaborate, job titles in highly organized sectors aren't just labels. They have very specific contractual/legal meanings and purposes and that's all to protect the workers. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's important to know exactly who is the director and who is the writer in things. Those are two vastly different things and not every writer can direct or vice versa. The only one to be jazzed about being lumped into a 'creators' list would be someone like the dude who got everyone their coffees. It's an important part of the process but it's not 'same line as Martin Scorsese'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasqueradeOverture Posted June 6, 2023 Author Share Posted June 6, 2023 The DGA may have won a small battle with their anti-AI clause, but it needs to be synergetic across the industry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 This is why Netflix has been hooking up Korean and Japanese studios with American VFX companies (most notably getting Scanline, the people who do effects for Warner’s big blockbusters, to do Yu Yu Hakusho). Because if the directors and writers strike, everything stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I think replacing actors has always been the end goal of the AMPTF, as far back as that shitty Final Fantasy movie. Now you get to replace the writers too? AI doesn’t have tirades about the climate or heavy handed messaging. It doesn’t demand diverse casting. AI actors can’t refuse to show their tits. AI does whatever you want it to, whenever you want it to. And that’s creepy. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
