As much as I love the chat I’ve seen and had over at !Entertainment@beehaw.org, I feel like we need to separate things out into discrete Movies and Television communities for increased specificity and better discussions. Right now there’s a lot of links flying around but it feels a bit front-page-of-Deadline-y mixed with some discussion posts.
Good luck, I saw a TikTok with four-figure resale ticket prices already.
But I think that’s the point? Like, the structure of his deal is insane—he’s getting money straight from Apple’s broadcast rights, and he can buy an ownership stake at the end of his run, and there’s the bazillion dollar fee on top of all that. Everyone clearly thinks that this man is solely going to make the league rich.
Oh no! Anyway
Poked my head in to the AMA and it’s basically what I expected. To the surprise of no-one Spez is a tool and should go boil his ass.
I imagine they’ll settle this at hyperspeed. The absolute last thing anyone in the AI space wants to do is set legal precedents (because then they wouldn’t be getting away with half the shit they’re doing).
I can’t tell if this is good or not. My gut says no, but also maybe yes?
