most reddit comments around the use of AI to replace actors and screenwriters seem to look like this and maybe i’m just a luddite and my mind isn’t open enough, but i genuinely don’t get how this is an exciting prospect or desirable future for people. the sole idea of art and cinema being like this makes me want to kill everyone in the room and then myself. i don’t… get it

I want the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike to go beyond Hollywood. I want UPS workers to strike. I want teachers to strike. I want trash collectors to strike. I want every necessary worker to strike. I want the people of this country and beyond to finally stand up to billionaires and the awful treatment of workers. I want the people who do the work to get their share and I want the uber-rich to be taxed for almost all of their money. I want a goddamn revolution.
i think tumblr urls in the old superwholock fandom style are like those old household appliances that got discontinued because they had asbestos or uranium or whatever in them - maybe you have a beloved cousin or old high school friend who still has a dean-and-loki-in-the-tardis and sure it's not great but what are you gonna do, make them get rid of it? come on, that's katie's url, she's had it forever, it's fine. but if you find someone that has a brand new castieldrinkingteawithsherlock then something dark is afoot. they have regulations against making any more of those. you should be able to cut tumblr users open and count their rings like trees. i bet some of you got horny reading that last sentence
I fully support the writers and actors currently on strike in America. Art is important and it’s sad hearing how some of these creators can be Emmy nominated but struggling to pay rent at the same time. It’s particularly enraging when you consider how much the executives and companies make.
I like that a by product of these discussions is how so many workers in other industries are now questioning their own companies. I genuinely believe that there are no truly altruistic and ethical CEOs. It’s been proven time and time again that if a person in power has the opportunity to screw over their workers: they absolutely will.

oh thank goodness, i was worried for a second there
liberalism is a wild ride, pornhub advertises for breast cancer awareness, monsanto is an “LGBT-friendly” place to work, “this is what a feminist looks like” t-shirts are being made by impoverished bangladeshi women for cents a day. literally what is it going to take for people to wake the fuck up and realize that this is not what “progress” looks like?
stream requests!! a happy Toasty feat. excellent seal plush Freckles, some baby voa, and Tselah’s dads being gooshy <3
Part of the reason they pay writers and actors so low is because of nepotism.
Rich people can afford to pay their children’s way into Hollywood. It forces out talented people that can’t afford that lifestyle. The amount of nepo babies with zero talent who went to business school and have found themselves in top positions at studios straight after graduating because their grandparents and parents worked in the film industry is outrageous. And they have been gutting Hollywood of any sort of creativity for the past twenty years by basing everything on a profits based business model that doesn’t allow for experimentation. It’s why nearly so many movies have been remakes, sequels, and based on existing IP.
Of course they don’t want to pay actors and writers well, they have never had to work for anything ever and can’t relate to having to work three jobs to try and achieve your goals and dreams. And they don’t WANT those people to be successful either. How else will they be able to place their fresh from college kids into top roles if those positions are already taken by outsiders?
