Your pictures are being taken on every street corner and every building you enter. They already got you. Or they’ll make a purely AI actor.
Hard to blame them, once your likeness is scanned you lose control over how it gets used
No! Mr. Bean will not be scanned! And that’s a shame, he would blow up AI forever 😜
You wouldn’t steal an actor…
They even scan extras
Seems legit. Literally stealing their very image. We’ve already established way beyond any reasonable doubt that AI companies are devoid of any ethics or morality.
UK actors are smarter than American actors at least (too many are selling their souls and don’t care about integrity and the future of this planet)
Valid concerns but a digital scan is no longer needed. Genie is wayyy out of the bottle there.
lol. This is _hilariously_ technologically illiterate.
The thing about AI is it easily works entirely in 2d space. No scanning needed.
On-set 3d scanning is more about leaving the door open to doubling your face, tweaking performance, moving camera in post, any other catch-all post needs; and it’s already bound by all permissions and limits appearing on screen at all would do.
This drips “to protest cars, we won’t put horse troughs outside our bar” energy.
Disclaimer: 100% supportive of owning one’s likeness and pushing back on abuses of likenesses. The action here is just… silly and misinformed.
this seems really stupid. digital doubles aren’t just an AI thing. they are used in pretty much every production as part of the standard VFX pipeline. an actor who refuses to be scanned is going to be passing up a lot of jobs that have nothing to do with AI.
Rule number one of socialism is that the people must own the means of production, often meaning machines.
When the tractor was introduced over a century ago, it did the work of 100 farm-workers. What should have happened was the farm-workers suddenly had their time freed up to learn, to educate themselves into new projects for society, and to be with their friends and family. But that, of course, is not what happened. Those who owned the machines were permitted to keep everything and leave the people with nothing.
The Luddites knew this story well. The owners of the new textile machines kept everything leaving the people to starve. Not only this, the owners also owned the newsmedia of the day, and demonised the people who had formed their workers rights movement. The media campaign was so successful that it led to the murder of the Luddites, and the success continues to this day where their very name is used as an insult.
Maybe if people with some wealth are being hit by the fact that those who own the machines are, again, being permitted to keep everything it may be different, but it is hard to say.
The movie “ The congress“ with Robin wright ( playing herself ironically) made a while ago feels very precient about this. She signs over her digital likeness to star in movies that she isn’t actually in, and things for society go downhill from there.. very interesting take on the whole thing.
I think they all saw that Black Mirror episode
