Letter of intent, between #Sweden and #Germany. #Hungary has signed the #ratification protocol to #Nato for Sweden.

RT by @alexstubb: Just finished a phone call with @NATO Secretary General @jensstoltenberg. I reaffirmed that the Hungarian government supports the NATO-membership of #Sweden. I also stressed that we will continue to urge the Hungarian National Assembly to vote in favor of Sweden’s accession and conclude the #ratification at the first possible opportunity.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to object and bargain if someone wanted to replace you at work with a machine, instead of being sorely out of luck (S.O.L.)?

The tentative agreement aims to make that dream a reality, if it ratifies: https://bit.ly/DominionOverTheMachines

Watching the second Contract Roundtable talk about the tentative agreement, and happy to be seeing what David Blue & Jen Levin put together.

Thankful for them and Ben Whitehair,
Jason Winston George, Woody Schultz, Charlie Bodin, Natalia Castellanos, Nicole Cyrille, Frances Fisher and everyone who has worked so hard for so many.

I just finished writing this article. I think many are underestimating just how impactful this SAG-AFTRA tentative agreement can be: https://bit.ly/DominionOverTheMachines

I made this image for an article I’m writing called “Dominion Over the Machines” about how the SAG-AFTRA AI precedents (if ratified) may move things forward not just for actors, but for every human that may face non-humans doing their work.

Interesting times we’re in.

Standing in the rain, a robot cradles a human who knells and is screaming in distress as the robot holds them with either care or malice, apparently the robot in control. It is fraught and tense but also some care or regard seems to be happening between them as their fates are bound together.

So Alex Winter wrote a nice article about the SAG-AFTRA tentative agreement:

Page 69 (nice) of SAG-AFTRA MOA is 1st time in history a union contract says workers are human & union shall negotiate if a non-human substitute is used.

People performing are human, & union gets to cover humans _and_ non-human substitutes.

We get to be people!

Screenshot of page 69 of the SAG-AFTRA MOA with the following text highlighted: "The parties acknowledge the importance of human performance in
motion pictures and the potential impact on employment under this Agreement when a Synthetic Performer created through a GAI system is used in a human role that would otherwise be performed by a human. For those reasons, the Producer agrees to give the Union notice and an opportunity to bargain in good faith over appropriate consideration, if any, if a Synthetic Performer is used in place of a performer who would have been engaged under this Agreement in a human role…”

Listening to I Wanna Be a Rich B*Tch podcast ep: Sarah Seeds breaks down specifics of what’s in SAG-AFTRA contract & negotiations & then she & Edward Miskie talk about it. STRAP IN.

Listen here: https://d3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net/staging/2023-10-19/71a606c7-1959-d5f4-08f7-d26cd40f32cd.m4a

And one is best served by evaluating a tentative agreement (once one has access to it) on its ability or lack of ability to be a good enough contract if ratified.

We don’t need to rush our votes, we have until December 5.

3 of 3/end
