Netflix TC is mostly cash and at the high end of the tier of the market.

#4I would be curious how an AI job in this case would help with the strike breaking. Actors still arguably own their likeness, and it’s legally dubious to use an actors likeness to oust them from a position they would otherwise occupy, but I think it would be very hard to prove in court. I think the real money would be in hiring a legal team robust enough to define this.

#5>So $900k/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,
How many actors could Adam Sandler's $250M Netflix deal pay for?

#6I don't see what the problem is. This is perfectly legal. Private companies can do whatever they want with their own money.

#7Am I the only one who genuinely doesn't "get" the AI component of the actor strike?
I'm generally in solidarity with labor, but clauses in a labor contract limiting the use of AI in an industry seems kind of insane and unsustainable. Is there any historical analog in the US labor movement?

I don't understand these responses. Are you trying to push the window to make people feel like it is unacceptable to be critical of a company's actions?
What if I am a shareholder (I am, through ETFs) of Netflix and I disagree with this? Shouldn't I be allowed to discuss and criticize the action?

#9If you can create a likeness of Tom Hanks which doesn't need to be Tom Hanks exactly, who owns the copyright - the digital creator or Tom Hanks.
Actors protesting AI protections remind me of factory workers protesting against automation setting in.

Legal and moral are not the same. The law is largely beholden to massive corporations that are entrenched enough to abuse people in the pursuit of profit. One of the only levers we have to fight back is to call out these abuses and loudly call attention to them.
