Ben Affleck admits to forcing actors and crew members to work for completely free, claiming it’s the only way to make them "give a s**t" about their jobs "We just started this film fund for independent theatrical films, part of the ethos was like, 'Okay, you're not going to...

They're not working for free. They're working for a piece of the upside. Don't see the problem with that.

Affleck does a very poor job of describing this. It's not working for free. And the crew is paid. In many cases with the actors, their participation guarantees a certain level of value and profit to begin with. And profits are not about how many people watch it.

So nice when the mega millionaire discusses how, for art, others should work for free. How progressive of him.

He absolutely right about this. People do however need some sort of wage during the process to pay bills.

This used to work until people lost trust in the system cause cunts like this out of touch douchebags do everything to not pay you. Latest example Subnautica. Hell even my best friend did that shit to me. So fuck this clown who happens to be an investor in generative Ai.

I would take this deal. I would totally work on a Ben Affleck movie receiving only equity in exchange. I assume they work for SAG minimum or something still so they don't get zero salary. But getting equity upside is great and a risk I'd evaluate and take.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the prime example of "no risk it, no biscuit". Two types of people... 1. The type requiring risk-free payment for work...zero risk, just pay me for my time. 2. The type to invest their efforts and delay gratification for the potential multiplier payoff. Both people are great...until group #1 gets upset with group #2's financial success.

They aren’t forced. They choose to take the job. Which could potentially pay much better than any other offer they’d get. No different than me working in a tech startup for a crap salary and a ton of stock options.

How is that forcing them? The actors share risk/reward

This works for wealthy actors. It does not work for the crew member who has rent due Friday. The better model is simple: Fair salary + reasonable upside. Alignment is smart. Making lower paid workers finance the movie with their labor is not.

Ben is right. Capitalism at work is a beautiful thing to behold. Yet in politics Ben supports Democrats and their socialist commie perspective. Go figure.

Here’s the problem: those people working didn’t write the script. They didn’t shoot the film, they didn’t negotiate deals with distributors and they weren’t in charge of marketing. All of those things are truly what make a film pop so why couldn’t they just be regularly paid?

No is forced to do anything. They aren't slaves. They agreed to a contract. This is the structure people want because they feel jibbed if the movie does well. See the Obsession art director.

Wow @BenAffleck you're very dumb for someone so hip with it. Most ppl don't give 2 hoots about a chance at something making 100 million $. They just NEED THE DAMN MONEY THEY'RE OWED FOR THEIR TIME AND EFDORT TO LIVE ON. Check your damn privilege mr superstar dumass geez.

Definitely not a pro-labor argument. People have bills to pay. Surely, if there's less pay for more of the backend that's one thing, but no pay at all? Doesn't really work for regular Americans

The problem is you’re at the mercy of someone’s shitty decisions. You only get a small contributor to the success. This reminds me of when my yearly bonus was tied to some other group that had noticing to do with engineering. So I’m getting less because the sales team sucks.

at end of the day pay your people and be transparent the problem is not what Ben said , we get that the problem is the companies that can afford to pay people fuck them over and that should be against the law

Jordan Peterson: "If you're competent and silent you will be ignored." "You might think well people should reward you because you're competent. And yes of course they should. But if you're competent and silent then you're just part of the background that's keeping everything functioning" On why you cannot negotiate from a position of weakness: "If you want to push your career forward you have to push it forward. You have to be competent and you have to be strategic" "To be strategic when you negotiate for a new position or a new salary you have to be able to say if you don't give me what I want then something you don't like will happen to you" "It's not a physical threat. It's that you have an option" "You have your CV in order. You're educated and competent and desirable to people outside of your immediate job. You're willing to instantly put yourself on the job market" "So that when you go talk to the person you're negotiating with you're credible" On the one thing most people completely miss about negotiation: "It's very seldom that you're talking to the person who's at the top of the pecking order. What you need to do is tell them a story that they can tell to their boss to make you not a problem" "A good story is look we really need this person because they're hyper competent and they have a better offer" "If you go in there with no power you're going to lose. Obviously" He concludes with the one thing every competent person needs to hear: "The first thing you need to know if you're going to negotiate is that you have to be able to say no. And what no means is that you're not going to do it"

.Rob Miles is spitting fire: “People are starting from a prior in which ‘[AIs] are safe until you give me an airtight case for why they're dangerous.’ This framing is exhausting. You explain one of the 10,000 ways that AIs could be dangerous, then they explain why they don't think that specific thing would happen. Then you have to change tack, and then they say, 'your story keeps changing'... "If you're building an AGI, it's like building a Saturn V rocket [but with every human on it]. It's a complex, difficult engineering task, and you're going to try and make it aligned, which means it's going to deliver people to the moon and home again. People ask “why assume they won't just land on the Moon and return home safely?" And I'm like, because you don't know what you're doing! If you try to send people to the moon and you don't know what you're doing, your astronauts will die. [Unlike the telephone, or electricity, where you can assume it’s probably going to work out okay] I contend that ASI is more like the moon rocket. "The moon is small compared with the rest of the sky, so you don't get to the moon by default - you hit some part of the sky that isn't the moon. So, show me the plan by which you predict to specifically hit the moon." And then people say, “how do you predict that [AIs] will want bad things?” There's more bad things than good things! It's not actually a complicated argument... I'm not going to predict specifically where it off into random space your astronauts are going, but you're not going to hit the moon unless you have a really good, technically clear plan for how you do it. And if you ask these people for their plan, they don't have one. What's Yann Lecun’s plan?” "I think that if you're building an enormously powerful technology and you have a lot of uncertainty about what's going to happen, this is bad. Like, this is default unsafe. If you've got something that's going to do enormously influential things in the world, and you don't know what enormously influential things it's going to do, this thing is unsafe until you can convince me that it's safe." HOST: “That’s a good way of thinking about it - with some technologies you can assume that the default will be good or at least neutral, or that the capacity of a person to use this in a very bad way is bounded somehow. There's just only so many people you could electrocute one by one."

Mark Zuckerberg, founder, chairman and CEO of Meta, on how he actually runs the company: "I basically don't believe in delegation." He starts by naming the assumption he's rejecting. "I think that there's sort of this theory that a lot of people have, which is like, all right, the job of a leader is you hire people and you delegate things to them." Zuckerberg doesn't operate that way. He's also clear that he can't personally handle everything: "My theory is there's so much going on across the company that I can't possibly get involved in all of it. So all these people are going to have a ton of stuff that they're going to do. But fundamentally, if there is a decision that I want to be involved with, I'm going to be involved in it." The distinction carries the whole argument. He reserves the right to review any call, and no layer of the org chart gets to tell him something is beneath him or outside his lane. His reasoning comes back to accountability: "I think that's generally a good way for founders to operate. If you're running the company and you're on the hook for everything and there's something that's important at whatever level of detail in the organization, I don't get the logic of saying 'I'm not going to be involved in that.'" That's the load-bearing line. If you're answerable for the output, opting out of the input makes no sense. Mark Zuckerberg does attach one condition, and it's a real one rather than a throwaway: "You want to have humility and know that if you're diving into some decision, you may not have the most context immediately." Diving in means showing up without pretending you already have the answer. The expectation extends across the whole company: "I generally think that you want to be able to just have the cultural expectation that things are not going to be so hierarchical and you're just going to dive into whatever you want."

A young boy's rant about living in USA. Also a message for Indians who are obsessed to go to USA in search of alleged "Better life" There's no point in living in the U.S. anymore. Think about it, bruh, the obsession with productivity, the obsession with money, the obsession with status, the obsession with being better than the next person instead of better together. The obsession with competing with other people instead of just comparing who you truly were to who you were a year ago. Everything is monetized, everything is politicized, everything is divided. Even empathy feels conditional. And what really gets me is the way this country treats immigrants. Or better yet, the way it lies about why it treats immigrants the way it does. They act like people are breaking into some sacred paradise, like people are desperate to get into something holy. For what? For debt? For rent that eats half your paycheck? For healthcare that bankrupts you? For a system that does not protect you unless you're useful to it? Bro, people don't come here because America is amazing. They come here because America marketed itself better than it treated people. Remember, America is not a country, it's a business. And now the mask is slipping. What this country actually values is not freedom, it's control. Not life, labor. Not community, consumption. You're free as long as you don't disrupt anything. You're welcome as long as you're profitable. You're human as long as you're quiet. We only respect you if you're valuable and you're easy to conform and control. And if you don't fit the mold, if you question it, if you refuse to worship the system, you're told to be grateful, you're told to shut up, you're told it could be worse, you're told you're crazy. That's the bar. It could be worse. It could be worse? What? I don't hate America. I'm just disappointed in it, bro, because it could have been so much more. It should be so much more. But instead of evolving, it doubled down. Instead of healing, it hardened. Instead of listening, it punished. Instead of building community, instead of building unity, it sells isolation and calls it independence. And I'm at a point in my life where I don't want to just survive inside a system that drains me and calls it opportunity. I want peace, I want community, I want unity, I want love, I want connection, I want affordability. I want to live, bro, I want to live. I'm tired of living in survival mode, bro. I'm tired of having to constantly brace myself for the worst, bro. And look, if that makes me ungrateful, so be it. So f*cking be it. If that makes people uncomfortable, good, because pretending like this is the greatest country on earth while people are drowning is a load of f*cking bullshit. It is not patriotism, it is denial. And I am done lying to myself about that. And until this country actually values life over profit, safety over status, people over systems, connection over individuality, I don't see a reason to stay quiet and I don't see a reason to stay
