Hollywood is Offering $1 Million to Be an AI-fueled Scab
As Hollywood continues to ignore the reasonable demands ofits own writers (you know, the people who actually make TV and movies worth watching), major studios have decided to dangle a big shiny carrot— a $1 million AI job—for any willing scab who wants to cross the picket line.

There’s one thing I know with total certainty: if the studios get their way on this issue, there’s no way that movies and TV shows aren’t going to totally fucking suck for the foreseeable future.
