He [Gordon-Levitt] communicates like exactly the type of person who would be an asset to the legislative process. All of his videos like this (the ones i’ve seen, anyway) are so clear, thoughtful, and do a fantastic job of conveying relatively complex ideas in a very simple way.

I get that he may have to temper his feelings about the tech in order to be seen as legitimate, but I don’t think genAI is “exciting” for creators in any way. It can only exist through theft of others’ creative work, by destroying the environment and raising consumer energy costs, and causing huge issues in far-reaching areas—from individual mental health and affecting our ability to learn and retain information to making it so disinformation and propaganda proliferates. There is no amount of good that can come from genAI in creative applications that would outweigh these facts for me.
The sad thing is I feel like a lot of this is necessary because the union leaders ultimately signed a watered down agreement to end the strikes a few years back.
I know they were feeling pressured because the strikes went on far longer than anyone expected, but ultimately they signed deals that allowed AI in the back door, and we’re already seeing the consequences of that.
I’m glad this is covering beyond Hollywood though. Would love to see gaming industry insiders become involved too.

Daniels really seem to care about running their sets with kindness & empathy & empowering the people they’re collaborating with, so I’m glad Daniel Kwan is working on this.

JGL is just such a likable human.
