“This ‘groundbreaking’ AI proposal that they gave us yesterday, they proposed that our background performers should be able to be scanned, get one day’s pay, and their companies should own that scan, their image, their likeness and should be able to use it for the rest of eternity on any project they want, with no consent and no compensation. So if you think that’s a groundbreaking proposal, I suggest you think again.”

    If California was totally depopulated, another state would be the most expensive state and you could make the same claim.

      Not really. It’s supply and demand. Even if another state were the new most expensive, that doesn’t mean it will be as expensive as California is now.

        Okay, what is the acceptable level of “expensive” where people have a right to complain about not being paid enough?

          Anyone who makes more wealth than average gets no sympathy from me when complaining about money.

          However, anyone has the ‘right’ to complain about anything. It’s called freedom of speech.

              I mean global average.

                  Yep. They get no sympathy from me when the vast majority of people in the world still have less.

                  Once they make more money, prices go up and the children in Africa continue to starve.

                    So basically less than one percent of Americans should be unhappy about what they’re being paid. They could live in a shack with no running water, but because they’re worth $9000, they have no right to complain.

                    That’s really what you think?
