Makes sense.

For your sake, if nothing else, I hope the studio and mihoyo can get you a contract offering you the protections you want.

It would be a lot of effort, and absolutely wouldn’t be your reasonable job to do so, but maybe could be worth the time compiling your answers you’ve given across BlueSky and other platforms into some kind of Google Doc or something that people could be universally directed towards?

I’ve no clue why you’re being so argumentative here. Sean is correct. Genshin (and all hoyo properties) are not done under a union agreement. They aren’t employees. A wildcat strike has a very specific definition that doesn’t match what he’s doing.

Be more respectful.

Just to ask a follow up question on this - based on your above statement that you want AI protections, rather than specifically wanting the project to operate through SAG-AFTRA, what's your ideal enforcement mechanism? If it's just a contract clause you'd still personally be financially responsible.

The interim agreement does additionally join the signatory to the interactive media agreement, since the interim agreement is just a modification to the base IMA, thus making it a union project.

that kinda just sidesteps my point? I'm not talking about specific agreements used (since at that point, obviously SAG's requirement is that it's under the interim agreement anyway), just that the view of "AI models as a business opportunity" exactly matches SAG's view as well.

just to be clear the view he expressed is the exact view SAG-AFTRA has as well - that, essentially, "AI voicing is fine, VAs just have to consent and be paid for the model's usage".

Not representing my own personal view, but its disingenuous to say this is "against the strike's very purpose".
