David, This guy doesnโ€™t seem to understand that right now they can use any DR for anything forever. What the union is doing is limiting use of DR to one particular project with informed consent & compensation.

In other news, no one at the Pentagon has ever watched a fucking movie.
BREAKING: The Pentagon is moving toward letting AI weapons autonomously decide to kill humans, per BI.

Poor @MatthewModine. Heโ€™s obviously not comprehending INFORMED consent & compensation; saying โ€œOnce this information is collected, a member can be regenerated whenever and however the contract holder chooses forever.โ€ Thatโ€™s NOT the Deal. #SagAftraStrong

I've watched every Zoom and every livestream I can with people laying things out & answering questions directly. To all my SagAftra brethren (and sistren) I say, the sky is not, I repeat not falling. Be informed & make your choice from that informed place, rather than from fear.

I'm scouting for an older looking house in Seattle to rent for 15 days in January for a film shoot Small respectful cast & crew mostly over 35, no smokers, pets, stunts, just a bunch of film nerds making a creepy Horror movie Haunted would be a bonus #filmmaking #Seattle

I was asked to participate in a discussion with hundreds of @sagaftra actors and members and board of directors on behalf of Filmmakers and the current use of AI and the future of AI. I did my best to honestly represent what I believe will be the way forward in working together to allow AI to be a tool that leads to more opportunities for creators and for talented actors. Tune in as this is an important discussion that is going to factor into the important votes coming up. #ai #AIArtCommuity #filmmaking #generativeai #SAGAFTRA

I strongly doubt thatโ€™s true. That kind of overt threat against a union leaderโ€™s job would be a slam dunk NLRB case. Studios could literally be forced to keep paying everyone on the shows salaries even if they donโ€™t make a show.
