Don’t understand the specifics of Hollywood strike and want to discuss. 

- what are specific demands in negotiations WGA/SAGA have? 
- if total residuals are up 30% this last decade but median pay per project is down 4% doesn’t it mean there are more projects at lower budgets? 
- does AI directly play into this?

Thanks for the well thought out responses. Getting through it now. Wish some of these demands were a bit more specific in terms of what employees get paid now vs what they think is reasonable 

as for AI, WGA have called to: "Regulate use of artificial intelligence on MBA-covered projects: AI can’t write or rewrite literary material; can’t be used as source material; and MBA-covered material can’t be used to train AI."

One proposal that set things off was the clause to pay background extras for one day of work in exchange for being able to use their AI generated likeness in perpetuity. 

big actors now chipping in to a fund so the strike can continue longer if need be. 

also this means nothing* that hasn’t started is getting made.
