“I’ve been around 25 years and have never seen all the unions this united or on the same page,” one showrunner who was in attendance toldafter hearing leaders from each of the guilds speak. “They are all getting variously screwed by these companies and they know the only way to win is to stick together. It’s a million percent different than last time around.”

WGA negotiating committee co-chair Chris Keyser was the central speaker of the night. When he shared that the AMPTP did not want to budge on the use of artificial intelligence because the studios didn’t want to take a new technology off the table that they “might want to use in the future,” the crowd booed in defiant support. The guild has proposed regulating the use of AI and banning its use to write or rewrite scripts and ensure that material from writers can’t be used to train AI.
