As has been discussed previously in other threads, the strikes are depressing the box office by 15% (I would guess more actually) -

This I imagine is why the Studios are pushing the AMPTP to make a deal and end the strike.Depressing, but it's sadly the truth.

AI is tool just like all other technological advancements that have happened over the last 100+ years of Hollywood.
Adjustments will be made just like every other time things like this come up.
I hope so. I hope this Hollywood strike ends next month.

I give up! I guess the strike is going to last forever. It’s the end of Disney and Hollywood.
I’m sorry Disney Irish, but the AMPTP are not trying. Their stupid and hopeless.
How do you know the AMPTP are not trying?
Have you read their latest proposal or are you just basing it on the tweet from the WGA?
Deadline has what the AMPTP is offering -
Studios Reveal New AI, Data Transparency & Residuals Proposals To WGA; Guild Meets With CEOs
AMPTP Releases Details Of August 11 Proposal To WGA
deadline.com
It seems to address almost everything that the WGA wants addressed. They also say that both sides will be meeting again.
To me it seems like the WGA forgot the first rule of negotiation, you don't always get everything you want; you have to be willing to give up on certain points in order to get the things you want the most.
This is not the end of Hollywood or Disney.

The WGA is right to reject
I did see the “gruesome threesome”
Are rhe negotiating committee with the WGA?
Never mind! I was overreacting! I don’t know why, but I was overreacting.

Its a Hollywood contract, of course there are going to be out clauses and other stuff written into it. Even if AMPTP gives in and gives WGA everything they want doesn't mean there wouldn't still be out clauses and other stuff written into it, its called Show Business after all.
Reject too many times and the rank and file ain't going to be none too happy, its the quickest way to get fired as the head of the union. Its a balancing act in every negotiation, which is why rule number one is always be willing to give up on certain points in order to secure the points that are most important to you. WGA leadership seems to have forgotten this and expect 100% of everything or no deal.
So you’re saying it’s a step in the right direction with these negotiations?
Whatever that strategy was for their big meeting between studio chiefs and the WGA, it hasn't gone over well.

I don't know if its a step in the right direction or not, but they appear to continue to talk which is good. As long as talks continue there is a path forward for the strikes ending.
