Hollywood Shuts Down After 160,000 Actors Walk Off the Set - Lemmy.world

I don’t care how fast AI can pump out “high quality content” because I refuse to consume any of it. I really hope the strikes are successful.
honestly we need legislation that protects arts who use their art as a means to live

No we don’t. They can do something else.

It’s called the free market, baby.

Blue collar workers have been finding new ways to make money ever since the industrial revolution. Don’t be a Luddite.

If these people still want to make art, nobody is stopping them. They just have to get a real job too, like everyone else.

It’s okay. I think they can survive and still lead a higher quality of life than the vast majority of people on the planet.

They just have to get a real job too, like everyone else.

Would you mind expanding on what a “real” vs “fake” job is? I disagree with the premise entirely but i am not taking you with a loaded question, i am honestly curious about what that means to you (and by extension what other people who use that term might mean)

Jobs that are necessary for the survival of our species.
There’s no such thing as a job necessary for the survival of the human race. The only thing jobs protect is the economic system, which doesn’t care about the human race.
So like, North Korea. Just a bunch of farmers and the military. I’d rather live in a world with movies and music.
Lol EVERYTHING we do is necessary for our survival, because of the fact that it’s humans doing it.
Ok.
I wonder what this comment said.
