SAG-AFTRA, the union representing Hollywood performers, has reportedly responded to studios\u2019 \u201clast, best and final\u201d offer to end the strike, rejecting clauses letting studios re-use AI-created likenesses of high-demand and deceased performers without consent from their estate or families<\/a>. \u201cThey can\u2019t have that loophole to exploit performers,\u201d a union-side source told The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>. \u201cWe could not allow that language to stand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reportedly, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) would \u201csecure AI scans\u201d for Schedule F performers \u2014 union members earning more than $32,000 per TV episode or $60,000 per film. Studios would pay once to scan the likenesses of these performers without paying for their use or re-use \u2014 essentially giving them eternal rights to their face after paying once upfront. It appeared to offer limitless use of dead performers\u2019 AI-created likenesses without proper permission.<\/p>\n

After this part of the dispute became public, the union reportedly \u201creached a common understanding\u201d with AMPTP on \u201cthorny issues\u201d like AI consent after an actor dies.<\/p>\n

Things go from bad to worse for Cruise\u2019s robotaxis<\/a><\/h2>\n

The company reportedly kept operating its robotaxis despite issues recognizing children.<\/h3>\n

\n

GM\u2019s autonomous vehicle Cruise division is already going through a rough patch, with the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) recently suspending its driverless permits over safety issues. Now, several new reports highlight other issues, including problems with its autonomous vehicles\u2019 (AVs) sensors\u2019 recognizing children and the frequency with which human operators must remotely take control. The cars apparently also struggle to identify large holes too. Now, it appears Cruise has halted production of its Origin autonomous vehicle after the California DMV pulled its license. A GM spokesperson confirmed to Engadget that the company is \u201cfinishing production on a small number of pre-commercial vehicles and after that, plan[s] to temporarily pause production.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sony\u2019s latest pro-oriented mirrorless camera was four years in the making. The Alpha A9 III is the first full-frame camera on the market with a global stacked sensor, a sort of holy grail in the photographic world. It allows for some wild specs, like 120 fps shooting speeds with no blackout, up to a 1\/80,000th of a second shutter speed and zero rolling shutter. The global shutter also allows for shutter speeds of 1\/80,000th of a second (1\/16,000th during continuous shooting), ten times faster than most cameras. Ten times! The Alpha A9 III goes on pre-order tomorrow for $6,000, with a vertical grip available for $400 \u2014 but won\u2019t arrive until spring.<\/p>\n

Apple acknowledged the battery drain issue and promised to release a fix \u2014 which happened today with the latest version of watchOS, 10.1.1.<\/p>\n
