âHistory lies at the core of every conflict. A true and unbiased understanding of the past offers the possibility of peace. The distortion or manipulation of history, in contrast, will only sow disaster.â â Ilan PappĂ©, Ten Myths About Israel

âartificial intelligence poses an existential threat to creative professions, and all actors and performers deserve contract language that protects them from having their identity and talent exploited without consent and pay. if we donât stand tall right now, we are all going to be in trouble. We are all going to be in jeopardy of being replaced by machines.â
this a direct quote from fran drescher whoâs president of the SAG-AFTRA.
i understand youâre a tumblr blog. youâre not an actor, so the strike doesnât directly apply to you, but saying ai has nothing to do with said strike so you can continue to use tech that basically steals the likeness of a real person/artists work is so ignorant. even if youâre not using it to profit youâre still supporting a tool that directly exploits the efforts of artists who clearly donât approve of it.
obviously if you want to continue doing it, by all means go ahead but do your research before you decide to spread misinformation.
Ok, I'm gonna get into this, only because you took only a PART of the issues they are fighting for , particularly the one about ai so you could come at me, so I present to you her speech announcing the strike in its whole entirety.............
I am shocked by the way the people that we have been in business with are treating us. I cannot believe it, quite frankly, how far apart we are on so many things. How they plead poverty left and right while giving hundreds of millions of dollars to their CEOs.
It is disgusting! Shame on them! They stand on the wrong side of history in this very moment. We stand in solidarity, in unprecedented unity. Our union and our sister unions, and unions around the world, are standing by us, as well as other labor unions. Because, at some point, the jig is up! You cannot keep being dwindled and marginalized and disrespected and dishonored. The entire business model has been changed by streaming, digital, AI.
This is a moment of history. It is a moment of truth. If we don't stand tall right now, we are all going to be in trouble. We are all going to be in jeopardy of being replaced by machines. And big business, who care more about Wall Street than you and your family.
Most of Americans don't have more than $500 in an emergency. This is a very big deal, and it weighed heavy on us. But some point, you have to say 'No! We're not going to take this anymore. You people are crazy! Why are you doing this?'
Privately they all say we're the center of the wheel. Everybody else tinkers around our artistry, but actions speak louder than words. And there was nothing there. It was insulting. So we came together in strength and solidarity and unity, with the largest strike authorization vote in our union's history and we made the hard decision that we tell you as we stand before you today.
This is major. It's really serious, and it's going to impact every single person that is in labor. We are fortunate enough right now to be in a country that happens to be labor-friendly. And yet, we are facing opposition that is so labor-unfriendly, so tone-deaf to what we're saying.
You cannot change the business model as much as it has changed, and not expect the contract to change too. We're not going to keep doing incremental changes on a contract that no longer honors what is happening right now, with the business model that was foisted around us. What are we doing? Moving around furniture on the Titanic? It's crazy!
So the jig is up, AMPTP. We stand tall. You have to wake up and smell the coffee. We are labor, and we stand tall, and we demand respect, and to be honored for our contribution. You share the wealth because you cannot exist without us!
Thank you.
***Among the actors' sticking points for a new agreement are improved compensation and benefits, residuals that reflect the value of their contributions amid the expansion of streaming services, regulated use of artificial intelligence and the issue of self-taped auditions.
So, as you can see, it is not ONLY ai. Yes I agree it needs to be regulated....yes I agree actors/background actors should be fairly compensated for their likeness.....but as you said, I'm no one. I'm a tumblr blog making zero compensation for anything I do. And if I'm being completely transparent, I am in the group (which no one wants to acknowledge) who kept this country turning during the pandemic and am still one of the lowest paid people IN THE COUNTRY!
*clears throat* so, to clarify yes I've done my research, I know what they're fighting for, why they're doing it and support them 100%. But again, I will not stop doing what I love because you as an individual have an issue with it. If it was a problem I would have received a cease and desist yes?.....been ordered to stop?......taken to court?.....
Well none of that has happened. I'm not hurting anyone, I'm not making a profit off if anything so again no, I won't stop. And trust me, I'm well informed.

Iâm tired of these people out here who will relentlessly fight down the truth, that is validly backed and spoken by credible people who have done their research and recon on a subject & know exactly what they are saying and talking about AND THEY ARE RIGHT, but these people will fight down what the valid people are saying in all the ignorant ways they can just because the truth that person is speaking does not allow these people out here to HATE on others anymore and puts the ignorance to death.
Oh baby believe me, we people who are aware and well informed we know FULL WELL exactly what is said and not said, we know EXACTLY what is going on and we understand all sides of the story being told (right or wrong story being told, we understand the points that are being made, even if they are invalid, we get what is trying to be done and why the people are saying whatever they are saying) for how it is being told and what is being told⊠and guess what YALL STILL LOUD AND WRONG.
I understand perfectly what youâre trying to say sweetie. We understand far more than your ignorance and arrogance will admit to yourself. And guess what?Youâre still WRONG.
Whatâs right is right and whatâs wrong is wrong.
No matter how much you hate spewers want that to be a lie, itâs the truth.
Get a clue.
Stop the belligerent ignorance.
Learn something for once. Donât just tell yourself what makes you feel comfortable with being wrong.
Donât try to discredit the absolutely creditable and correct.
Donât shoot the messenger. Just get informed.
Donât be a sheep today people. Be leaders.

âhereâs what we know about the uhc shooterâ
WRONG! He is a suspect and we should treat him as such. He should be treated as innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent. Heâs a person of interest not the killer. I donât care what the media or authorities are saying, heâs a human being who deserves a fair trial and deserves to be treated as innocent until proven otherwise.
#united healthcare#luigi mangione#brian thompson#uhc ceo#sorry I just see a lot of people spreading all this information and labeling him the killer and itâs like hold on#heâs a suspect#heâs not guilty of it#even if it seems likely he should be treated as innocent until proven guilty#labeling him as the killer before the trial even starts is not helping#am I making sense or do I sound stupid#sparkle.txt

so hard not to become the most annoying person on earth if you're a little excitable and just learned a little about a topic literally no one around you has any interest in
#unforch ive been laserfocused on the composition of toilet cleanibg products and (unrelated) international fishing politics this week so far#i want to talk about anti limescale chemicals đ« and chinese ships off the coast of west africa đ#TO EVERYONE IN THE NOTES: don't worry i am not particularly wounded by the awareness that my coworkers would not appreciate a rant#it is a good idea to make sure your conversations remain dialogue and not uninvited monologue for an uninterested captive audience#there is a time and place for excited half-informed monologues.

To celebrate rawdog winning word of the year per the American Dialect Society, I'd like to tell the story of how I learned that the meaning of rawdog changed in the past couple years.
If anyone doesn't know, the original and long-held meaning of rawdogging was fucking without a condom. The new meaning has extended to doing any kind of action unshielded, plain, or without preparation.
So, about a year ago, I'm eating lunch with coworkers. It's an office job and we're generally pretty professional. People swear a lot, but there's never any innuendos or sex talk.
A coworker is describing a recent trip she took to a vendor to get a demo of equipment we were considering purchasing. Someone else asks "Did you meet Bob LastName while you were there? He's kind of an interesting guy."
"Yeah I did, and he is a little strange. I walked into the breakroom one morning and he was rawdogging two blueberry bagels"
Cue my high-pitched shriek of "He was DOING WHAT."
Followed by my coworkers explaining the meaning and my faint, flustered reply of "ah...well... I'm used to that meaning.... something else." Some people knew what I was talking about, but unfortunately others did not, and I had to face the ordeal of explaining as delicately as possible to a group of coworkers aged 22 to 60
#word of the year#linguistics#this is why it's important to stay informed about current slang I guess
