I see Hollywood is now very into the idea of buying something once and then owning it forever and being able to make infinite copies. Which. Isn't quite the message they imparted upon me in my childhood. I the spirit of their own long-held stance:

A photoshopped version of the "You wouldn't download a car" ad saying: "You wouldn't download an actor"

I feel very out of the loop. What are Hollywood doing?

They're trying to fire all the talent that made them rich so they can use AI to find out firsthand that creating content takes talent. Meanwhile all the talent will join creative co-ops and replace Hollywood. Big platforms will side with Hollywood and AI and also fail. The fediverse will eat them all. Muhaha I'm being simplistic...

My bad understanding is that Hollywood was giving actors contracts where they would own your likeness forever. They want to make 3D models of actors they could use in future projects without the actors consent. Effectively not needing to hire actors because they could use past 3D models.

If anyone has more info please correct me.

I was under the impression the main reason for the strike was something about streaming residuals
