For the few pushing back on this, clearly you have no idea how important the power of collective bargaining is. We need class solidarity now more than ever. STRIKE!
but internet rich guys said it was bad
I want to see the VFX artists and game programmers each unionize during this time. There isn’t a better bargaining time than now.
For those like me who have only heard it called SAG, SAG-AFTRA is Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. Since I guess the article assumes everyone knows that already.
Good. Show those corporate goons who actually makes them money and that they need you and you don’t need them.
Anyone know what they mean when they ask for protection from AI? Voice synth is going to be very big for video games seeing the massive amount of NPCs certain games have. I don’t think Microsoft is the kind to play ball and limit what they can do with AI
I think it’s making sure that they can’t record their voice in a single session and have it synthesised forevermore.
No that’s just what would be reasonable, they’re demanding much heavier restrictions on use of emerging technologies.
to be fair, sometimes restrictions on emerging technologies aren’t a bad thing
That’s an opinion that should be debated on it’s merits, misrepresenting the demands of a group because it’s easier to get people to agree with a different version isn’t good - also it kinda makes it seem the actual demands are unreasonable and most people wouldn’t agree unless misrepresented.
Now things are getting interesting
Nerds suddenly start to care about labor relations!
they have stopped praising Elon Musk, one starship explosion too many
Yeah, get them! Take the corporations for everything they’re worth!
Nice.
6 months from now everyone will be crying out over how the cost of streaming services are going up
but we have been complaining about exactly that, even before this whole thing started, yet the “paying people will make everything more expensive” crowd tends to be really quiet when these companies are bragging about record profits fiscal quarter after fiscal quarter as everything is getting more expensive at a record pace!
How is it related to technology ?
