Doug Dawson: It's crazy how quickly it came to pass. The strikes are still in our collective memory. It wasn't a decade or generation later that it happened. It's wild how blatant and bold OpenAI and these other companies are being in their AI arms race.

cannot stress enough how much SAG and WGA were right about AI in the recent strike, and how much everything the studios said was just bullshit.

color me shocked that a company building a product based on other people’s work would have acted this way.

OpenAI pulls AI voice that was compared to Scarlett Johansson in the movie 'Her'www.npr.org The AI company said the voice was not patterned after Johansson, but that it was removing the voice as an option in the wake of speculation about whether the sci-fi film inspired the voice.

It's crazy how quickly it came to pass. The strikes are still in our collective memory. It wasn't a decade or generation later that it happened. It's wild how blatant and bold OpenAI and these other companies are being in their AI arms race.

It’s the playbook that’s worked for other tech companies, so they’re going to keep doing it… Uber was just taxi dispatch software with VC funds and untrained drivers, that became big enough fast enough to put older competitors out of business.
