So, how much money do you think Matt and Trey are going to sue them for?
Just FYI, the CEO of Fable Studios is one Edward Saatchi. His father is Maurice Saatchi whose advertising agency was partially responsible for ten years of Conservative rule under Margaret Thatcher. The family absolutely has previous with union bashing.
The video is password protected now. Did anyone get a chance to download the episode?
"Fable started in 2018 as a spinoff from Facebook’s Oculus (how times have changed since then), working on VR films — a medium that never really took off. Now it has seemingly pivoted to AI, "
I wonder how much of the ai hype is just huge investments into hardware, looking for profits.
Can you link the episode? I have been so starved from media because of this strike. I am willing to consume it
Where’s the profanity, the swearing? AI, more like Artificially limited, that’s the only joke. Kyle not calling Cartman a fatass once, what?
“Our toasters, really? I always knew that little bastard was up to something”
False. The Hollywood strikes (plural) are not principally about AI.
A more salient issue is that streaming TV & movie services do not pay residuals.

They are about both.
Short term streaming residuals are important.
Long term AI protections are a must.
Just watched it. Writers have nothing to worry about for now. I do admit I laughed once, though.
You are making the same mistake I see a lot of people make when it comes to AI, which is looking at the status quo as a snapshot rather than a change over time.
The last widely reported on AI generated ‘show’ was the Seinfeld one from…checks notes…a few months ago.
The leap between what that was a few months back and this here is quite something.
So your “right now” may be true for today, but quite possibly by as early as the end of this year there will very much be something to worry about.
(Though really, there still won’t be much to worry about, as the future will almost certainly be AI plus human efforts, not either or.)
I think you’re making the same mistake as people who thought self-driving cars would be here 5 years ago. You can’t just extrapolate out technological progress. The relatively easy things get solved first and relatively quickly but we may need a decade to solve some of the most challenging scenarios.
The Danny DeVito one got me the first time.
They say pretty clearly in their Twatter post that they are not the IP holders and the episode is for research only, so I seriously doubt Trey and Matt will care.
Likely worst case they get a cease and desist to take it down, so they do.
