voice actor but like in an ironic sort of way like it’s not super serious or anything

Hey Jasper! I’m sorry I totally messed up not including alt text. I’m gonna let my brain sit down for a second then work on that, just to make sure I don’t make any mistakes.

This thread might have the answer you’re looking for. Only the union has the legal resources necessary to enforce any AI protections. Otherwise, it’s the individual lawyering up against a multibillion dollar company. bsky.app/profile/khoi...

TL;DR: I’m not a huge fan of the union. They are a means to an end. (6/7) 🧵

Note: if you’ve heard the term “three Taft-Hartley’s,” that’s just a shorthand way of referring to the three 30-day periods at the all-you-can-work union buffet which the first TH gives you. (2/7) 🧵

*taps the sign with incomprehensible force* Any video game can bring back their FULL voice cast IMMEDIATELY during the strike, once they agree to enforceable AI protections via a SAG interim agreement, and the game CAN still keep its non-union actors after doing so.

Hope that answers your questions! I’ve had to simplify a lot to appease the character limit, but that’s about the gist of it!

That said, once an actor has been Taft-Hartley’d 3 times, the must-join rule kicks in. However, since the SAG negotiating committee wants to help NU actors keep their jobs during and after this strike, it is possible for productions to negotiate a waiver for that rule.

Good question! It is generally NOT necessary for a game to replace all its NU actors once it flips union. They would just have to fill out a 1-page form called a Taft-Hartley for each NU actor, following which that actor has a 30-day window to work all the union jobs they want.

Currently, only a SAG interim agreement can effectively do that, as it would be backed by the union’s legal resources, and can meet any violation by a big company on the appropriate scale. That’s why actors are holding the line, and why outrage at a recording studio ain’t it.

This is what we mean by “enforceable” AI protections. Because while we are deeply grateful for any recording studio’s personal support in this strike, the fact remains they do not have the power or resources to protect us, or meaningfully enforce any AI clauses in their contracts

Khoi Dao @khoidaooo.bsky.social · 12/03/2025
B) If the developer does violate the AI protection clauses in that contract, then the burden of enforcement would be on the actor. Often, that means one guy having to lawyer up against a multi-million/billion dollar company.

Khoi Dao @khoidaooo.bsky.social · 12/03/2025
A recording studio may offer AI protections in its own contract with the actor, but this ultimately means very little, because A) the developer owns the final recordings, not the recording studio. They cannot dictate how the developer uses that audio.

If you’re just learnin about the video game strike, I wanna clarify a key detail I’ve seen get distorted a lot: Generally, the *developer* decides whether to sign an interim agreement, not the recording studio. Often, the studio is only a middleman. They do not set this term.

“If a game is not recorded at a ‘struck studio’, it’s safe to work.” “Struck studios” only exist because of SL6, which creates a situation where our bargaining partners can continue recording in the middle of a strike. The best response is joining your fellow actors in demanding a fair contract.

I've seen some misinformation regarding the video game/interactive strike. I'm not going to call out anyone or any game in the process. Instead I'm going to remind people the strike is still happening for all Union voice actors. Which means they are not allowed to work on any game unless (1/3)
