JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon spoke with Bloomberg about how he thinks AI will impact the future of work. Dimon said that he thinks AI will eventually cut down the work week to three and a half days. Many leaders have been advocating for a 4-day workweek, with AI making this move more plausible. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon thinks that the next generation of workers will only need to go into the office 3.5 days a week, thanks to AI. "Your children will live to 100 and not have cancer because of technology and they'll probably be working three and a half days a week," Dimon told Bloomberg.

In what lasted for almost five months, the writer's strike has seemingly reached an end. In the last writers strike, in 2008, board members voted two days after a deal was reached, and members voted two days after that. AdvertisementAdvertisementWhen will writers return to work and shows return? The studios that make up the AMPTP opted to finish a deal with writers — who went on strike two months earlier — before even beginning to deal with actors. It was three months into the writers strike before the AMPTP reached out to begin negotiations, and the initial talks sputtered after a just a few days.

REUTERS/Jorge GarciaLOS ANGELES, July 27 (Reuters) - A Los Angeles food bank created to support low-income families is now coming to the aid of striking and struggling Hollywood actors and writers, some of whom show up for free groceries with tears in their eyes. We’re barely middle class as it is," SAG member Kristina Wong told Reuters at the food bank. Wong wanted to find ways to help her fellow union members, and that meant reaching out to the founder of the food bank, Glen Curado. This is particularly true for SAG members like Niketa Calame-Harris, who appreciates the "peace of mind" going to the food bank creates for her and her daughter.

[1/4] The iconic Hollywood sign is shown on a hillside above a neighborhood in Los Angeles California, U.S., February 1, 2019. "It's very easy to think all the Hollywood stars or anybody in Hollywood is rich and swimming in money in a swimming pool. The SAG-AFTRA actors union said 97.91% of ballots cast supported strike authorization. But the solidarity from high-wattage talent could be a boost for actors struggling to land enough gigs to make ends meet. Tohn believes only the highest echelon of actors are working all the time.

☆ Hollywood screenwriters are OK with using bots like ChatGPT to write scripts — as long as they still get the credit
  + stars: | 2023-03-22 | by ( Lakshmi Varanasi | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
The Writer's Guild of America is proposing that screenwriters can use ChatGPT for scripts, according to Variety. The guild's proposal was first discussed Monday in a bargaining session with producers, Variety said. According to the WGA's proposal, AI-generated material would neither be considered "literary material" nor "source material," Variety said, adding that both of those are "key terms" for assigning writing credits. They also have an impact on residuals, which is compensation for the reuse of a writer's material, according to the WGA. It's not clear whether the AMPTP is receptive to the proposal, Variety said.
