Entertainment executives didn't want to relinquish the right to train their own AI tools based on TV and movie scripts, since their understanding is that AI tech platforms already are training their own models on such materials, the WSJ reported. The Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. Setting the stage for another possible work stoppage in Hollywood, video game voice actors and motion capture performers voted on Monday to authorize a strike if negotiations on a new labor contract fail.
I think writers need this to be over so they can get back to work. This isn’t just fun summer break going on here, peoples lives are being put on hold. Doesn’t mean it’s a good deal though.
So when they inevitably do, will you crown me and say kind words about my prowess in predicting the future? Or maybe just recognize that the writers simply want this over…
If I turn out to be wrong, would me saying “guess I was wrong” not be enough for you? I have to bow and scrape at your feet? Really? Because if that’s what you expect me to do, you can go get fucked.

They can’t “get back to work” if AI is taking their work. I think they’re aware of that. But maybe they’re all idiots.
If AI is taking their work, how is this a good deal then? I genuinely can’t tell if you’re in support here or not.
It’s not a good deal. That’s my point. That’s why I don’t know why the writers would vote for it.
