LMAO i think the studios were fully prepared to let this go until the new year and keep everyone out of work, until they saw that absolutely no one was on their side with the AI stuff like using AI for dead actors

this was such a quick about-face after the AI proposal leaked, so good on whoever leaked it

I think it was so strategic of SAG to leak NOTHING until then - it had a huge fucking impact.

What exactly did they leak?

[scriptedending]

Throughout the whole strike, AMPTP would run to the trades after meetings to say how SAG was being unreasonable on this, that, or the other thing, and SAG would be like "we both agreed not to talk to the press, wait til we release our statement to know what's going on" and then a day or two later, would release a letter explaining what was being negotiated and why they were not satisfied.

But this info about AI that came out recently - that the studios wanted to own likenesses for an entire series rather than negotiate with actors for each film, and use the likenesses of dead folks without the permission of their estates - it seems pretty clear that info did come from a SAG leak, since there was absolutely no reason for the studio to leak it, and it fired people up.
