So let me get this straight.

#SAG_AFTRA goes on strike because its VA and #gamedev members were concerned about #AI use.

Nine days later, SAG-AFTRA cuts a backroom deal with an #AI firm to allow AI access to voice actor material.

......Just how much Everclear is SAG-AFTRA chugging?

And let's even set aside the issue of #LLM threats to creative content, and the now-literal threat of AI coming for creatives' jobs. Let's table the imminent threat to #animation and #gamedev (not to mention the risk of total obliteration of the #indiedev fields), we'll even ignore the sheer and utter contempt SAG-AFTRA and Hollywood have for #voiceacting for a moment...

Does anyone with half an iota of #infosec knowledge expect these AI firms to secure the source data they'll have access to?

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 #AIHorde), and someone's gonna start throwing everything they have to get into it. And I doubt it'll be that hard to do. Now now on top of the risk of traditional #identitytheft via your ethereal, transactional identity - NOW a #va has to worry about the risk of their perfomative, human identity being stolen.

(Oh and don't even get me STARTED on the opportunities this presents for deep-fake-based social engineering)

AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THEY'VE DONE THIS.

Just how god-damn STUPID is the SAG?

#SAGAFTRAStrong? Nah, try #SAGAFTRAStupid.

Can we just get rid of network execs and replace them with #AI 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. #sag #sag_aftra
