They're suing to make sure that the *Times* gets a bigger piece of the action when that happens.
If the *Times*, Disney and Warner prevail, they will immediately amend their standard, non-negotiable contracts to require every creative worker who does any work for them to exclusively and irrevocably sign over the right to train AI with our labor, and the resulting models will be used to attack our jobs and wages.

In other words, the media company/AI company lawsuits are a fight to see who gets the biggest piece when creative workers get eaten for dinner. We don't want either side to win: we want to be taken off the menu altogether. Which is exactly what the Hollywood writers accomplished, and they didn't use copyright to do it. They used something *far* more important and powerful: *labor rights*. 37/
