Starting point is 00:00:00 This is one of the most interesting topics to me because even though it doesn't particularly fall into hip hop or the gaming category, overall entertainment, escapism is provided, in my opinion, solely by Hollywood actors. I think the amount of movies and TV shows that we watch on a daily basis not only influences and not only has an immense, influence on our life, but also brings us into a certain area where we can escape reality and just watch our favorite show. So with that being said, this whole strike by the writers and actors is very interesting to me and intriguing because not only does that mean that content is going to start being postponed and indefinitely. but Hollywood studios such as a Netflix such as a Disney such as a Sony is acting like they
Starting point is 00:01:11 can't give a care in the world like they don't care at all supposedly based off of grace Randolph which I would definitely follow her she's of she's very much a professional when it comes to covering TV and movies you know I just try I try my best but if you want to hear one of the professionals grace randolph is who you should go to but anyways going off of what she said she was basically saying that the hollywood studios wanted the writers back to put the actors in a peculiar situation where they're the only one striking but when they met with the writers apparently they couldn't come to a deal so now we're back to both of them still uh being on strike so hollywood studios just like well forget both the both of them
Starting point is 00:02:01 As you can see in the title, they are quietly, quote unquote, hiring AI specialists amongst the, amid, amidst the writers and actors strike. So Netflix is hiring a 900,000 per year AI product manager. I ain't going to lie to y'all. there's a certain word for that for the writers strike called scab i believe they say if you cross that picket line for certain things once the strike is over you're going to be like blackballed or whatever i don't know they keep throwing that word out called scab i don't know if this falls in line with that but it seems pretty scabby to me i know that's not word i just made it up got to roll with me so anyways um disney is looking for generative AI specialists and sony
Starting point is 00:02:59 is seeking an AI ethics expert. So I don't know how much of the paying, but it seems like it probably is the same or if not more, a dollar amount than Netflix is offering. And this is not good. While this is not good, because all your favorite movies, TV shows that you think are going to come out in the next year are probably most likely going to get postponed
Starting point is 00:03:23 if they're being made in America. The reason I say America is because apparently if you're a Canadian actor doing a Canadian movie, they can still come out. So all of the people who, like, Idris Alba, I don't know if he's from the United States, not trying to be disrespectful. I just honestly don't know.
Starting point is 00:03:40 If he does a movie in his home country, I don't know if that's the same because he's not an American actor. I don't know if that works. I don't know if that, you know, I'm not the professional expert in that, but I'm just putting forth the case in a set
Starting point is 00:03:58 scenario because a certain Canadian actor Melissa Ford from the Joe Budden podcast says she was in a movie in Canada and that doesn't make her a scab or against the WGA because apparently she's a Canadian actor doing a movie in Canada. So that doesn't correlate with the WGA or the or SAG. I don't know so many letters man. Like why is it so confusing? WGA and SAG. So she's not a part of that so she can do Canadian movies. So always I'm interested to see people or the actors who's not from America. If they will go back, if it gets that serious, because it seems like this is a sign that the studios are not trying to work with the writers,
Starting point is 00:04:43 actors at all. So if it gets to that point where everything is really going to get pushed back, maybe the actors will, well, the overseas actors who are not from America will start making movies in the home country. I don't know if that will happen, but we're going to see. What else? Yeah, that's basically it. So instead of paying the writers and actors with their owed,
Starting point is 00:05:07 Hollywood Studios have resulted into hiring people to manage their AI technology. So click my link to your in my bio. Let me know one of my social medias. What do you think about this whole Hollywood studios versus writers and actors? And which side are you on? And also, do you think in the long, Well, when do you think this would be resolved? Do you think it will be a while,
Starting point is 00:05:37 a.k.a. 6 to 10 months, or do you think it would be resolved in the near future?
