Hollywood studios could face two strikes for the first time in 63 years. How did we get here?

LA Times  

The year was 1960. “And it only makes sense that the existing contracts aren’t able to encapsulate all of the considerations because we’re in a new market that wasn’t able to be visualized or understood three years ago or even six years ago.” As with writers, the streaming era has enormously affected actors, toppling the traditional payment model when broadcast networks led the way. AI represents a “really radical technological change, that has the potential to alter the relationship between writers and actors in the motion picture and streaming industries,” said USC history professor Steven J. Ross. It’s undercutting your very job.” Ross pointed to NBC‘s long-running and “highly formulaic” procedural, “Law & Order.” According to Ross, the producers could use AI to create new episodes using the show’s style. Bush recalled that his character and those of other actors on “The Goldbergs” were used in an app-based video game — although he didn’t recall receiving any compensation.
