“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.”
Such as? Which ones do all people in poverty qualify for? If that’s true, why do people live in shacks without electricity or running water? Do they choose to live that way for the fun of it? Is this one of those “they need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps” thing?
And if people don’t have the right to complain, I guess the actors have the right to do what they’re doing and you have no point.
I edited my previous post to highlight the benefits of social programs in the US.
I never said the actors don’t have a right to do what they’re doing. My point was, from the beginning, that they will get no sympathy from me for doing it. Why does that bother you so much?
And yes, believe it or not, some people do choose to live in shacks without any electricity or running water.
In fact, everyone I met living that lifestyle was doing it because of choice (or mental health, but it’s a different discussion to identify which.)
