A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

“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.”

They're doing it to extras that are desperate... People that will do pretty much anything to get on screen, let alone say a line.

But like 99% of today's stars did that work before becoming stars.

If someone signs this "deal" and then gets famous a decade later, they stop getting paid and studios just use their digital likeness.
