Writer's Guild Strike of 2023 - Fuck these people

[Not At All A Lizard]

This stuff is really no different from the march of automation that has been going on for as long as time. Funny how when a trillion factory workers get cucked they just have to take it, but a handful of horribly overpaid, untalented, useless, black holes of creativity must be protected.

I really hope society tells these twats where to go, but I doubt it. Consoomers are too loud and proud and fucking stupid.

“The endgame is to allow things to drag on until union members start losing their apartments and losing their houses,” a studio executive told Deadline. Acknowledging the cold-as-ice approach, several other sources reiterated the statement. One insider called it “a cruel but necessary evil.”

As I saw someone on another forum say regarding this:

"Imagine if people hated you this much, and you still tried working for them. No wonder everything Hollywood churns out is garbage, these people are retarded."

 

[FarmVille]

Anyone who thinks AI is going to replace screenwriting or that the this strike is specifically about AI belongs in the autistic thunderdome.

Writers and actors get an abysmally small slice of the profits from streaming services. That’s the reason for the strike. When the strike is over actors and writers will get better payout from streaming services. All the media you consume is still going to be written by pinkos in LA and not a bot.

Humans had their chance and turned everything into gay nigger shit. Let's see what the machines can do.

Those machines and AI will be programmed and watched over by the same people who make gay nigger shit.

Nice to see "Feed them all to Feral Pigs" as not only a poll option, but the run-away favorite answer.

 

[Safir]

and we have to take into consideration the cost-of-living in the respective area

They're writers. The cost of living is on them.

But that's the thing, though. The industry already seems AI-generated for the most part. Hollywood was using AI to find out which movies to make and which movies to reboot.

This. The plots are written by diversity "experts" and test audiences. [I know it sounds faggy but] it's very obvious there's no artistic vision behind this, and I can't really engage with a story that I know is procedurally generated. At the very minimum I want the kahntent I consoom to be someone's idea of "awesome", really the only reason to consoom fiction is someone designed it to be satisfying, the way stories from real life are often not. It's like pottery, pottery is satisfying because of the rhymes, the setup and payoff. When the rhymes are worn out or stupid, the result sucks.

How exactly do you expect an AI-run-everything to not immediately go bankrupt due to having 0 customer base from the lack of any employed people capable of paying them? The AIs will farm up food for 20 billion people and then everyone will starve because no one can afford it? Mansions will litter the landscape, outnumbering people 5 to 1, and all sitting empty?

You missed the central thrust of my argument. I am not arguing we are all going to starve due to unemployment. I am arguing the exact opposite. We will all become docile nigger cattle where everything, including creative and skilled labor is done by machines. We won't have to do anything but eat, drink, consume porn and play games. Now, this might sound like a NEET dream come true at first, but keep in mind these are not "true" A.I.'s. They are a function of the will of those who control them. We won't be dependent on the AI. We will be dependent on the Men who own and Program the AIs. And that is the little detail where the devil is.

Have you noticed how insanely high the production costs are for streaming shows? The abysmal She-Hulk cost $15 million per episode. The reason is that writers and actors pay is frontloaded. Its structured without the expectation of royalties because there is no downstream revenue stream. The actors and writers get paid more up front to compensate.

The prophecy of WALL-E get's closer to fulfilment. Joking aside, I feel you.

Imagine if your customers hated you enough to hear your boss be that much of a dick..and say "FUCKING LOL"

Predicting this sort of thing is almost impossible, i.e. someone 100 years ago couldn't even begin to conceive of a social media manager job.

Ancient people would say that's a woman.

It could kick off a whole new golden age of cinema where all the names in the credits are fake.

Yes, good goyim, support the corpos!

 

[Spud]

So the lesson I take from this is that anime stocks are going to double as normies now starved for "entertainment" now look outside America

Don't you worry. Localizes can fix that to.

From the little I've seen of Threads they'll apparently be even less tolerant of his sperg outs than Twitter has been.

'Course he's apparently gone down this road multiple times before.

Without getting into it, I’ve dabbled into this world of professional writing. Didn’t go anywhere.

When I read about the strike in the OP, I have to think that these guys fell into the trap most creators fall into: that they’re one step away from living on Easy Street, whether it’s making the next big thing or getting the right connection when it comes to an IP. And that hasn’t happened.

So now they find themselves toiling away in front of a keyboard while probably working on food/hospitality or retail, an endless boulevard of broken dreams in Hollywood. And rather than do some soul searching to consider if this writing thing is REALLY what they want to do for a living, they feel that they’re entitled to whatever money goes into helping their CEO get a super yacht or a private jet.

As for royalties, I feel that’s another part of thinking that you’re one job away. That the money will always be coming in. And when it doesn’t, then the contemplation begins. And I guess that being a disposable grunt is the most demoralizing thing in the universe for someone that hadn’t seen Tyler Durden’s “you’re not special” scene in Fight Club.

And how did we get here? By the streaming wars diluting everything, the cream rising to the top, and everything else getting buried. I have to believe a lot of these strikers are part of what got buried. Or was shit and their prospects dried up as a result because Hollywood is a brutal place. And they’re petrified of the prospect of having to get a real job while their dreams in show biz are relegated to a pipe dream, if not waste away completely. And be forgotten.

As for AI, I honestly doubt it’ll really go anywhere. If anything, the first time an “all AI production” happens it’ll be treated like a novelty, and I have my doubts about the future because Hollywood executives are some of the most risk averse people on the planet who only care about return on investment. (On another note, someone ITT mentioned that there’s an AI that can analyze how much money it’ll make and what actors are right for the roles. Anyone have a link to that software/AI, preferably a free version?)

Finally, I’ll just say that it’s kind of funny how folks go “Workers Of The World, UNITE!” when it comes to cushy things like Hollywood writers and actors or Starbucks baristas, and only really care about how much someone is paid, but not when it comes to shit that’s the realm of Teamsters. I guess that’s the consequence of the 1-2 punch of Mafia ties and MAGA.

SHE-HULK Writer Has Earned A Mere $396 In Residuals For Writing Episode Featuring Daredevil's MCU Return
I saw this on Plebbit and it made me laugh. Probably unfairly, but, meh.

BTW, this is a he. Meet the very masculine Cody Ziglar.

 

[Male Idiot]

I hope somehow both sides loose.

These are liberal preachy cunts who wouldn't give you a dollar to save your life and have millions of it.

Except Mel Gibson and Chuck Norris but those guys are retired or exiled.

A 396 dollar check. What are the odds you immediately proceeded to spend all of it?
