circuit_cat<p>So let me get this straight.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/SAG_AFTRA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SAG_AFTRA</span></a> goes on strike because its <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/VA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VA</span></a> and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gamedev</span></a> members were concerned about <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> use.</p><p>Nine days later, SAG-AFTRA cuts a backroom deal with an <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> firm to allow AI access to voice actor material.</p><p>......Just how much Everclear is SAG-AFTRA chugging?</p><p>And let's even set aside the issue of <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLM</span></a> threats to creative content, and the now-literal threat of AI coming for creatives' jobs. Let's table the imminent threat to <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/animation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>animation</span></a> and gamedev (not to mention the risk of total obliteration of the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/indiedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>indiedev</span></a> fields), we'll even ignore the sheer and utter contempt SAG-AFTRA and Hollywood have for <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/voiceacting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>voiceacting</span></a> for a moment...</p><p>Does anyone with half an iota of <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>infosec</span></a> knowledge expect these AI firms to secure the source data they'll have access to? </p><p>All you need is one firm to score a lucrative actor, or brag about the size of their horde (oh yes, they'll call it a library, but let's be honest, it's an <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AIHorde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AIHorde</span></a>), and someone's gonna start throwing everything they have to get into it.

Frank<p>Can we just get rid of network execs and replace them with <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> already? It'd be an upgrade at this point. At least the AI wouldn't sabotage a show, then cancel it because it was popular and making money but not as much as they think it should. Seriously, network execs are trash. If you want to be part of the creative team, get relevant training. If not, fuck off and trust the people who are creating the show to know what they're doing you witless morons. <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/sag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sag</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/sag_aftra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sag_aftra</span></a></p>
