people always praise taylor swift like “ough she wrote an album that told a story shes so original and brave and talented” ok well sure she wrote a concept album about women being sad. you know what else is a concept album? janelle monáe’s five-suite metropolis saga spanning 3 albums telling the story of her time-travelling android alter ego, cindi mayweather, who is slated to be dissasembled after committing the forbidden act of falling in love with a human and, while on the run, learns that shes destined to be the savior that liberates all androids through social justice and funky tunes. why dont you listen to that?
its amazing that after months of people trying to hype new netflix shows only to see them cancelled after one season because they didnt squid game-level pop off, after netflix personally fucking over every animator that’s ever worked for them, after netflix trying to squeeze blood from stones by tracking your location to stop password sharing, after hbo burned its entire library for tax purposes, everyone just decided that chatgpt is the main antagonist of the writers strike
for anyone not interested in reading the documents pictured at the link above, in short, the WGA proposed a contract that would cost $429 million to implement, while the industry proposed a contract that would cost $86 million to implement and, insult to injury, would allow the employment of writers on a day-to-day basis for streaming content.
that’s a huge discrepancy, and the majority of it comes from the industry refusing to fairly compensate writers for the work they do that ends up on (or is exclusively for) streaming services, not from anything related to chatgpt.
