Holy shit.

"…they proposed that our background performers should be able to be scanned, get one day’s pay, and their companies should own that scan, their image, their likeness and should be able to use it for the rest of eternity on any project they want, with no consent and no compensation."

@jaredwhite AI is coming and no one can stop it. What needs to be done is figure out what the displaced workers can do to make a living.
AI is running many vehicles, ikea, auto manufacturers etc. Japan has used AI to do their news broadcasts. Think about it. The AI figure does not collect a salary, take a vacation, get sick or go out on strike. What company would not like to us AI to make more money!
Governments and artists had plenty of notice of AI coming. Nothing was done to regulate it.

@jaredwhite The fight is over but you just don't realize it. I as well did not realize how far AI has progressed. We are passed the tipping point.
