If I had a nickel for every time SAG sold out its members, I'd have... Well a lot of nickels.

Wasn't this one of the sticking points from last year's strikes?

What are they doing?
All the leverage and support in the world, and they bow down to AI still.
So much you could do for actors...and they decided to bend the knee to help greedy companies.

Everyone there should resign, they are not fit to lead if they sell out actors like this.

It signals to me a lot of the membership is fine with it. I know I have as such.l depending on the contract.

Sounds dumb to me but if actors want to license themselves they should have that right.

Based on the reactions I've seen on social media, a lot of the members are not fine with it.

Are they big name people or more on the lower end? Asking cause that divide always rears it's ugly head sooner or later like in sports.

I know who they are, but they are more like the voice actor level and they are the people this deal affects the most.

That makes sense. They are the ones who always end up getting the shaft

Can't wait for AI-generated slop that consumes an absurd amount of water so it can rip off The Crow 2024.

Brilliant leadership as usual from Lionsgate.

James Cameron wants Skynet now. He wants the torment nexus.

Enormous amounts of energy and water are expended for this generator of fakery and spyware. Millions in stolen labor.

He was last seen bashing people who think his movie remasters look like hot garbage. Rumor has it that AI was used.

Artists’ lawsuit against Stability AI and Midjourney gets more punch

A number of other suits are still pending.
