False. The Hollywood strikes (plural) are not principally about AI.

A more salient issue is that streaming TV & movie services do not pay residuals.

[–] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 113 points 1 year ago

They are about both.

Short term streaming residuals are important.

Long term AI protections are a must.

I almost feel like the AI proposal was a form of 'dead cat' strategy; while everyone is understandably angry about AI and fixated on that, no-one is talking about the actual issue that kicked all this off (the share of residual royalty payments)
