Another example of allowing companies to get too big and relying on them to act fairly. They don't and never will. The streamers are notoriously greedy, and their Wall Street owners are worse, as we have seen time and time again. If you want equity and balance, restrict companies from getting so big and diverse they dramatically influence global economics. It's obvious how that will turn out.

Every time I see Kara Swisher as a guest, I’m always pleased with how informative & easy to understand she is, about areas I don’t really follow much. 👏
To me it doesn't matter how good or bad the Meta substitute for Twitter is, what worries me is again giving Zuckerberg the monopoly of social media. It would be naive to think he won't take advantage of the monetization power and "to big to fail" this creates.
Ooof. Not sure why streaming is "necessary" or "Important," compared to the the theatrical experience when it's clear the number of platforms that can survive a consumer culling is maybe three, tops. The theatrical that feeds an ecosystem of streaming later is far more essential. The surreal alt-world Threads segment near the end was like a fever dream of some PR firm, LoL.
I still don’t understand how union contracts were dismissed upon the transfer to streaming services. The amount of eyes on a product were massively increased , yet the the contracts were somehow voided? I’m really confused as to how this legally happened and became an issue to begin with. Doesn’t the material ( film , show, etc) hold financial responsibility of proper payouts as it changes hands and beyond [ in perpetuity]?
The great irony is that AI needs artists more than artists need AI. If you train AI continuously on AI generated content, it degrades and becomes rubbish. See Futurism’s article “AI Loses Its Mind After Being Trained on AI-Generates Data” and The Independent’s “Scientists warn of threat to Internet from AI-Trained AIs.” The original creators of the data that is used to train AI add the greatest value or, in economic jargon, provide the greatest value added. Yet Big Tech would like to pretend otherwise. So not only is this unethical, it’s shortsighted and could have disastrous consequences. It turns out doing the right thing (ensuring you get consent, giving credit where it’s due, and fairly compensating artists) would have also been the smart thing. AI companies need real visual artists, musicians, writers, actors, voice actors, etc. While most of us would be more than happy to go on without them. Furthermore, the majority of people do not want AI. It’s most fervent supporters are, predictably, the tech corporations ripping off artists and the public to take and profit from our data, which is all that makes AI valuable. The AI hype is just that-hype. It takes from the hard and excellent work of humans to generate lookalike or soundalike work. Nothing transformative about it.
Have disagree that might true past isnt anymore with morse law less and less so why needs addressed now. I predict its middle of next year if ever before Netflix etc give. Average folks start GoFundMe show our support writers and actors.
I have watch Kara Swisher in a few interviews prior to this and she seems reasonable and fair in her though processes. She looks at Both sides and has reasonable response to them.😊
Google among other tech companies need to be broken up like Bell Telephone years ago. But, the tech industry is spreading their weath among members of Congress to avoid that from happening.
How effective was breaking up Bell? All that eventually did was create an even bigger AT & T and, now, Verizon. It didn't create more competition. Well it kinda did for a while. But companies like Sprint disappeared.

Please you guys.... We're on TH-cam. There's alot of content creators that are influencers. Outside of the recycled news We're watching. From DIY, home improvement, exploring, fashion, opinion, shopping, upcycling, motivation, ect ... ect ... ect ... I wish those union actors and writers lots of luck. But there's others that have weekly content that's more alluring and inviting. For get about trying to hold the american public hostage. There's other places to go for entertainment.
It is not "necessary" to have a million streaming platforms. Consumers are not going to pay for 4-5 + streaming platforms. How is that different from cable? Actually, it is worse because the streaming companies are now raising prices due to expensive productions and drop in viewership. There is absolutely no reason for Paramount or AMC to have a streaming platform. They should have negotiated licensing terms with other established streaming platforms instead and focused on what they do best. This is what happens when people want to innovate just for the sake of innovation. People bought into the "streaming is the future" hype and blindly went along. Now they have fallen off a cliff and are bleeding cash. Sad.
Unfortunately, I think many of the writers and actors will leave the movie/tv profession and work somewhere else. I think they might still write and act but they’ll work somewhere else
AI is projected to affect many many industries around the world. This isn't one industry undergoing a transition. Where are you going to go? This is going to eliminate lots of jobs. If you are a lawyer, if AI writes contracts and other stuff, and you just check it that means less work available to humans, resulting in less lawyers. And that could happen to many industries. And where do these millions of people go if AI is everywhere across industries so all of them can't retrain? That's why we need AI regulations.
I wonder how Oppenheimer might well change Ms. Swisher's views. Maybe what's really needed is a product that offers an experience that one simply can't get in one's house.
Way too much streaming content and not enuff hours in a day to watch this massive amounts of content and let's face it, way too much new garbage on streaming and that includes Canadian Content to BOOT ! 😎✌
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. First you say that there's not enough time in the day for all the content on steaming to watch it all but then you follow up with too much of it being garbage. I'd agree with you except for the first part about there being to much content to watch. If there's so much garbage then filter that out. I can't find enough content to watch to fill up a couple hours that isn't garbage.
Well A.I can (and will) make the whole movie from story/script to final editing and release. Also can generate CGI Brad Pitt or just completely create virtual realistic looking actors. It's very scary.
Most of the companies involved with making movies/tv shows are technology companies now. You don't really see many people striking at these types of companies. It's a complete clash of cultures. I don't see this ending well for the writers and actors.
Biggest question who blink frist and how much. Can writers and actors get public support really break Netflix and Apple and Google and apparently disney of world going either bad pr or breaking their wallets. From matt demon new company Amazon show open honest and fair completely and honestly doubtful but world live in apple i cloud only secure till isnt and predict not matter if but when big companies massive data leak and made change but may long way down road but I don't see apple or Disney or Netflix giving fair honest shake until hurts enough in ceo and company pr and pocket books. If Amazon was wise figure out way open writers and actors even if ithers refuse. Be great pr and while doubt Amazon prime video hurt anytime soon for new content and amazon go at least long as Netflix because boat loads money off aws for Netflix app etc.
This seemed like a legitimate talk until she started trying to smear Twitter calling it a “white supremacist”… that immediately makes this a propaganda talk rather than a legitimate discussion
The presenter has no idea her job is now practically a memory when an avatar with her likeness takes her job,... not to mention every single perdon working in that studio.
The streamers don't need Hollywood, they can make their own content , more than half of the shows in Netflix are not made by Hollywood and not even made in the U.S.
Hollywood better start putting out better quality films. Right now Streaming is just creating better quality stuff. Disney's entire brand is terrible right now whether it be their live action, Marvel Star Wars or the new Indiana Jones they're all garbage. And their made for Disney Plus is even worse. All about quantity and no concern for quality.
Streaming is the only choice for me on any shows or movies. I works and play hard and my time is important, so being in my own home is a huge deal. I don't see how the entertainment industry makes much money at all with streams compared to cable deals, and theaters charge for seeing the show. I can understand both sides of this, but feel the investor gets the nod over the everyone else. I don't see how they're making money doing this, so the demands are more akin to a desperation as an industry is evolving, and has to first find it's footing.
Rein in CEO's outlandish pay and solve a bunch of problems. Pay your workers better. Don't push extra work onto people without paying them more. Easy stuff, but as usual, GREED RULES. TAX THE RICH. EAT THE RICH.
The only winners are heads of tech corporations and other CEOs who can profit, at least until Biden and Congress get it together, from ripping off all the rest of us but especially people who make a living from their intellectual property. It’s a gold rush and as unsustainable.
No (quality) material, no one to perform it…oh by the way, people these days will NOT get up off a couch if they do not have to. I’m getting more than a little tired of the anti-Friends (the TV show, obvs) attitude of “I can say pithy one-liners on some couch and earn $1,000,000 an episode without any problems and do it better than those idiots could”. Entertainment, like nearly every other business in life, is difficult to make a living in, let alone succeed in.
I have for many many years some from Beginning Disney+/HULU/Paramount+/Hbomax now is MAX / You tube TV/AMC+/MGM+/Peacock/Apple TV off & on is nothing there /Prime & Netflix of course who doesn't.. ALL AD FREE Premium 4K service ..i usually pay Annually on most of them have that option, they just charge my card automatically, BUT i dont know, i love them all ...BUT between them all NETFLIX & HBOMAX & YOU TUBE TV for cable , MUST have & only u need, THEY ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST👍👌
What is AI, it is my understanding that it has intelligence it just doesn't have feelings or a soul. Does America need a soul any longer? What is wrong with being an atheist and not having a higher power to look up to? Why can't a computer be that higher power, It wouldn't even need faith?
The strain on these streaming companies would be less if they didnt give the CEO's over 100 million dollars a year. Just saying.

Distribution and reach is way cheaper for the studios via streaming yet they don't pass that profit along in any form, which is wrong.
To me it doesn't matter how good or bad the Meta substitute for Twitter is, what worries me is again giving Zuckerberg the monopoly of social media. It would be naive to think he won't take advantage of the monetization power and "to big to fail" this creates.

CBS is owned by Paramount Global. It's a much smaller player in all of this. But it's all important to even people like Margaret B.
I thought streaming was supposed to be cheap. And the tech company's with no regulations. And the tech company's now it's hard to regulate.
When can we get AI to replace congress? That would be great.
Yes, interview a silicon valley stooge about why streaming is important. honestly it's getting cheaper to pay for cable again.
Well A.I can (and will) make the whole movie from story/script to final editing and release.
Also can generate CGI Brad Pitt or just completely create virtual realistic looking actors. It's very scary.
But by "taking over" meaning going rogue or self-conscious attacks on humans, that's just sci-fi and won't happen unless built that way.
I think that will all be as flat as the cut scenes in video games.
But who is going to the movie theater to watch AI Brad Pitt??? This is like expecting people to go to the cinema to watch video games LOL 🤡🤡🤡🤡
