The Writers' Strike and Hollywood's AI Revolution
TL;DR Summary
Workers in various industries, including screenwriters, illustrators, and digital content creators, are rebelling against the use of AI to replace or degrade human work. They are mobilizing union power, targeting copyright violations with lawsuits, and pushing for industry-wide bans against the use of cheap AI material. The AI industry is foundationally reliant on resources owned and controlled by only a handful of big tech firms, and its power is extremely concentrated in Silicon Valley. The rebellion against AI is just getting started, and it will determine what kind of work we all get to do and who technology ultimately serves.
