“This ‘groundbreaking’ AI proposal that they gave us yesterday, 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. So if you think that’s a groundbreaking proposal, I suggest you think again.”

    things are worse elsewhere so they shouldnt try to improve their life. great response.

    i hope when you need a pay raise your boss has the same attitude.

      No. People who have more wealth than average don’t deserve more so long as children go without: food, water, electricity, education, and shelter.

      Instead of lying about what I’m saying, why not try to argue against it? Why do you people keep putting words in my mouth? Oh yeah, because it’s easier to argue against than what I’m actually saying.

        Would you take a pay raise? Because you probably don’t really deserve it with your fancy internet connection.

          I don’t need a pay raise, but I would definitely take one.

          I’d rather have copyright and patent laws die.

        your whole argument is things are worse in africa so they shouldnt get any more money. its a bullshit argument. everyone deserves to live a better life. with that argument we might as well go back to the robber baron days because people had it worse than the striking workers even back then. after all why should someone with 4 walls a roof and a bed complain about their working conditions, others have it worse. “oh your 7yo lost her right arm in an industrial accident? dont complain theres people who dont have any jobs to go to.” great argument.

        yes we as a whole global community should be doing a lot more for the least of us but most of the people that bring us entertainment arent swimming in gold pools ala scrooge mcduck. like the vast majority of americans they are barely getting by. and besides the money not going to everyone else making movies and tv shows arent going to make the lives of anyone else better but the studio execs and producers.

          Sorry, I didn’t read that long-winded comment.

          You didn’t seem like you had anything crucial to say, just trying to double-down on rich people getting richer at everyone else’s expense.
