Disney's $1Billion deal with Open AI has rightfully sent many animation workers, and fans, to rage at what this means for the already creatively bankrupt Disney, and the rest of the industry as a whole. And a question we've gotten many times is what can be done to fight this.(1/2

The answers we have aren't anything new, but we think they are important to share again to drive home that with any labor issue, like the Starbucks strike as people refuse to cross the picket line to shop at the stores, consumers have so much power withholding their money (2/2)

"They [city council] can refer the case to a federal court for review, basically overriding the Trump administration's authority over it. The City has standing because it's our jobs that will be lost in the inevitable downsizing"

We want to give a big shout out to , and a call to action for, our fellow entertainment workers in the United Videogame Workers union! This is a new union as of this year, very much needed in the VG industry to address the huge layoffs and working conditions in the studios.

Two articles on the news of Netflix buying WB that we found interesting, highlighting the highly potential negative costs to the workers due to this merger. #netflix #warnerbros

With members on our team who are going through the Paramount-Skydance merger and the massive layoffs that have resulted in it, we know this is going to negatively affect animation workers (and all workers!) in both studios. Fuck this monopoly bullshit in ours and every industry

Call to Action for anyone in the Bay Area! The Concept Art Association is asking for a big turn out of people to voice their support for AB-412; a new California Bill that would allow artists to get clear evidence from GenAI companies that they've stolen their work. #antiai

As far as we can tell this bill is not designed to prevent GenAI companies from stealing work, but is an essential step in creatives being able to demand proof that their work has been used without their permission, and hopefully take steps afterwards to rectify it.
