Topic: Hollywood Strike

The recent Hollywood actors' strike is linked to the threat of AI replacing human performers. Mike Adams notes that while AI can be used for "digital immortality"—citing the use of Paul Harvey's voice for modern radio liners—it also poses a threat to human creativity. He predicts that AI will soon replace 80% of tech support and customer service roles, as corporations prioritize profitability over human employment.

The recent Hollywood strike highlighted the threat AI poses to human actors, as voice scanning and digital avatars become capable of replacing performers entirely. While this technology allows for "digital immortality"—such as the continued use of Paul Harvey's voice for radio liners—it also presents a risk of total message control by those who own the avatars. The transition to AI-generated broadcasts could allow shows to continue for centuries without live human hosts.
