   Tech workers: if you, like me, have ever wondered about how automation will impact your work, you should probably pay close attention to how “artificial intelligence” figures into the WGA strike. https://www.wgacontract2023.org/strike-hub

     Wait so the counter to worker concerns about AI replacing them is... an annual meeting where management lectures at workers about why they are being replaced and devalued by technology?

     @Alonealastalovedalongthe @beep that's nonsense. The lectures are about why it's good that that's happening

     “It isn’t ‘AI’ that has worked to eliminate writers’ rooms and it isn’t ‘streaming’ that’s shifted the revenue shared with writers and other artists to pennies on the dollar. It’s companies that have done that, often exploiting the loopholes in their labor and royalty contracts that allow them to do so.”
