I mean, if they're paying $50,000 per day, maybe, but can you imagine giving up your likeness, in perpetuity for an extra's day rate. AI has given media executives brain worms.

@Pappy @jaredwhite 50k for a lifetime? Maybe for 50m we could get talking. If they want to let "me" work potentially for the next 1000 years I'd want a lifetime of pay for that.
