“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.”

    Prices won’t be able to rise and we’ll have more excess to give to those who need it.

    Have you met “people”? Almost no one is going to give excess money to developing countries without knowing there are logistics in place to make sure the money goes to good use.

    It’s a pretty simple concept if you put forth even the slightest amount of effort into understanding it.

    Ask the opposite. How does paying Americans more help global poverty? Oh yeah, it doesn’t. Lol. That’s all according to plan. That’s what I mean by “passing a bunch of money around at the top.”

    So I guess these background actors should stop expecting wages and just die from poverty? Or are you expecting the money “passing…around at the top” to trickle down to everyone in the world. Money “at the top” doesn’t have any actual fucking value. It’s fake currency that sits in bank accounts as large numbers. It doesn’t help anyone in the world, especially developing countries.

    We focus on ‘space tourism’ before children have food and water. These problems will never be solved if people keep listening to your rhetoric, which unfortunately they do.

    You are arguing about human rights equality in a thread about Hollywood actor unions. Is your time spent here helping anyone at all?

    Wake me up when the problems get solved doing something I don’t suggest. I’d love to admit when I’m wrong so long as the problems get solved. But you’re just repeating history because you haven’t learned from it yet.

    “These problems will never be solved”.

    “Wake me up when the problems get solved”.

    You are actively participating in not helping people of Africa my man.

      Wow, you really took out the mental gymnastics to avoid admitting people with more wealth than average should have even more.

      It’s okay. Just say you think the disparity in wealth should grow instead of shrink and we can go on with our lives.

      We don’t have to be on the same side.
