I really hope you work in a job that isn’t unionized and you get pole fucked by a corporation.
“Writers need to accept that they are worth less now” is a completely shit ass statement. Why are writers worth less now?
It means that LLM are good enough now to write show scripts. Only the best writers will get paid in the future. Computers are automating many people out of their roles. They will need to learn to adapt to the job market changes. I am not opposed to a UBI and VAT. Unions are disruptive though and cause people who want to work to not be able to. They have their own internal politics and corruption and essentially force people to pay an overhead cost to enter an industry via dues. If you want unions to exist, then they should be bound by a set of rules as well. Negotiations can't stall for months. Shows are just going to start to be written by their producers and really have the writers breaking the picket line, but remaining incognito ghost writers.
