视频游戏演员和表演者打击人工智能保护

币界网报道:

在娱乐行业使用人工智能的斗争仍在继续,因为SAG-AFTRA工会成员在与视频游戏开发商就使用生成人工智能的谈判破裂后呼吁罢工。SAG-AFTRA在一份声明中表示,罢工将于7月26日星期五开始。

自2022年10月以来,该演员工会一直在与视频游戏工作室进行谈判。

SAG-AFTRA发言人Zeke Alton在媒体问答中告诉Decrypt:“最重要的一点是,我们谈论的是将影响整个世界的新兴技术。”“我们只是煤矿里的金丝雀。我们正在为如何对待美国和世界各地的劳动力树立先例。”

虽然2023年的演员罢工涉及其他重要问题,包括薪酬和剩余工资,但生成人工智能是一个关键的罢工点。奥尔顿表示,在当前的视频游戏行业谈判中,这种担忧仍在继续。

发言人问道:“他们会把这项新兴技术用作创意人员和员工创造效率的工具吗?还是高管们会用这项工具来解雇员工?”。“这就是为什么这场斗争——之前的斗争和之后的斗争——必须建立在它的基础上。

奥尔顿补充道:“因为作为劳动环境中的工人,我们普遍了解我们有权利,我们在这里不是为了被消灭,这真的非常重要。”。

SAG-AFTRA拒绝就罢工行动的方式和地点发表评论。

SAG-AFTRA在一份声明中表示:“尽管已经就许多对SAG-AFTRA成员很重要的问题达成了协议,但雇主拒绝以明确和可执行的语言明确确认,他们将以人工智能语言保护本合同涵盖的所有表演者。”。

根据罢工条款,SAG-AFTRA成员将停止表演、提供技术支持、动作捕捉工作以及从事实体和在线宣传。

SAG-AFTRA补充道:“鉴于罢工与圣地亚哥动漫展的距离很近,上述与推广和宣传服务有关的规则不适用于SDCC提供的推广和宣传活动。”。

SAG-AFTRA一直在与之谈判的视频游戏工作室包括Activision Productions、Electronic Arts Productions、迪士尼角色之声、WB Games、Insomniac Games、Formosa Interactive、Llama Productions、Take 2 Productions、VoiceWorks Productions和Blindlight。

2022年11月ChatGPT发布后,各行各业的工人都担心会因生成性人工智能而失去工作。其中最直言不讳的是电影、电视和视频游戏行业的人。

暴雪娱乐的环境艺术家Molly Warner上周告诉《连线》杂志:“对于所有使用人工智能的艺术家来说,都有很多焦虑。”。“我认识的几乎每个人都强烈反对使用人工智能生成的图像。”

视频游戏罢工发生在演员工会结束上一次罢工不到一年后,此前该工会与电影电视制片人联盟(AMPTP)的谈判于2023年7月陷入僵局。

SAG-AFTRA全国执行董事兼首席谈判代表Duncan Crabtree Ireland在一份新闻稿中表示:“坦率地说,令人震惊的是,这些电子游戏工作室没有从去年的教训中吸取任何教训——我们的成员能够而且会站出来要求在人工智能方面得到公平公正的待遇,公众也支持我们。”。

SAG-AFTRA总裁Fran Drescher在新闻稿中补充道:“我们不会同意一份允许公司滥用AA损害我们会员利益的合同。受够了。”。“当这些公司认真考虑提供一份我们的成员可以生活和工作的协议时,我们将在这里,准备进行谈判。”

Airwallex's Pivot: From Dismissing Stablecoins a Year Ago to Making High-Profile Investments Today

Airwallex, a major cross-border payments fintech, has made a notable strategic shift by leading a seed round investment in Metal, a tokenized financial settlement network. This move is significant given that Airwallex founder Jack Zhang was a prominent critic of stablecoins just a year prior, arguing they failed to reduce costs for mainstream currency corridors and lacked clear utility. The investment targets Metal, a Layer-1 blockchain designed for the tokenization and settlement of assets like stocks, bonds, and stablecoins, aiming for the institutional market. Metal's team includes veterans from Ren Protocol and Meta's Diem project. For Airwallex, this partnership integrates tokenized finance into its global payments network, providing a new settlement layer. Despite his company's investment, Zhang maintains a distinction, stating his skepticism toward "cryptocurrencies" remains, while classifying regulated, asset-backed stablecoins as a separate category. This stance reflects a broader trend of traditional finance (TradFi) cautiously engaging with crypto infrastructure. Companies like Stripe, Mastercard, and major banks are similarly exploring stablecoin payments and tokenization networks, recognizing their potential in emerging markets and 24/7 settlement. The article concludes that Airwallex's investment is less a change of belief and more a strategic necessity to secure a position in the evolving landscape of digital asset settlement, where stablecoins are becoming a key interface for global finance.

Spicy Review|Is the "Most Emotionally Valuable" Post Here? Could STRC Be the Next LUNA?

Here is an English summary of the article (under 1500 characters): This article from the spicy commentary series "LaPing" covers three key stories in the crypto world for the week. First, during a sharp market downturn in June where BTC fell over 20%, a Reddit post on r/Cryptocurrency rallying against "Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD)" went viral. The comment section became a hub for retail traders to share memes and encouragement, with many advocating holding (HODLing) through the volatility, embodying the "be fearful when others are greedy" mantra. Second, it examines the situation with STRG (Strategy's perpetual preferred stock), which has "de-pegged," trading around $76 vs. its $100 face value, a ~25% discount. The concern is whether Michael Saylor's company, MicroStrategy, can sustain the $1.2 billion annual dividend payment, given its ~$1.4 billion cash reserve. While analysts note STRG is fundamentally different from the catastrophic LUNA collapse—as Saylor isn't obligated to pay the dividend—risks remain. If MicroStrategy's (MSTR) common stock investors feel their capital is being prioritized for STRG dividends, it could hurt MSTR demand. Third, the article analyzes the online persona of "Chuan Mu," a trader famous for turning $500 into $1 million during the 2023 ORDI inscription boom and again with short positions in 2025. An analysis of his 1,828 tweets reveals his success stems from a top-down analytical framework, asking systemic questions like "Where will the bottleneck be in the AI supply chain?" rather than chasing individual pumps. His investments migrated from crypto-linked stocks to AI infrastructure plays like SK Hynix and Samsung. However, the piece also notes criticism that he has occasionally "pumped" assets and sold positions without notifying followers, creating a contradictory public image. The weekly recap highlights themes of community sentiment during bear markets, financial instrument risks, and the complex realities of following influential online traders.
