[drop] A union negotiator has claimed studios have offered to give background actors one day's pay after being scanned and that the actor's digital likeness could then be re-used "for the rest of eternity."
The studios have strongly taken issue with this characterization, claiming a background actor's digital replica would only be used on projects the performer was hired for, not indefinite future productions. [/drop]
- frfl 3y ago> one day's pay after being scanned and that the actor's digital likeness could then be re-used "for the rest of eternity." Reminds me of that one sci-fi short story posted on HN a few months ago, which I can't find right now, about the guy who let his brain get scanned and then it ended up being used for simulation thousands of times for decades. He ultimately ended up regretting that decision.
