The execs are gonna cut the check, eventually. And they know it. This shit is about the AI component. They're not willing (at least at this point) to make promises about not using a technology that could save them millions upon millions.

Tonya said sag contract is coming up soon. It wasn’t in this particular clip, but she touched on Oprah Winfrey and Bob Johnson, not following the blueprint of Tyler Perry because they wanted to be excepted into Hollywood whiteness.

Its true. WHen they were about to strike a writer on twitter was showing how the studios refused to even negotiate the use of AI.
