    If the whole industry woke up and went union things would really change.

    All tech companies would implode rapidly if all their talent evaporated and they couldn’t hire anyone useful. AI isn’t enough on its own yet to be a solution, and right now is the best time to do it before it might be too late.

    Yas, I hope this does a lot to make the industry wary and motivate other studios to boots down the house to protect themselves against the depravity of C-Suite Lobotomites!
