Hollywood actors have joined the Writers Guild of America in striking against the major studios. This inter-union solidarity recalls the last great Hollywood strike of 1960, when actors and writers together brought studio production to a standstill for nearly six months.
One of the main reasons for the strike revolves around generative AI. Just recently, the studios have submitted a proposal that include scanning background actors using AI and paying them for one day’s work. The studios would then be able to use their likeness forever with no payment or consent.

🖼 NFT Lender Gondi Goes Live, Raises $5.3M Round Led by Hack.vc
Non-fungible token (NFT) lending protocol Gondi went live on Tuesday after raising a $5.35 million seed round led by Hack.vc, the firm told CoinDesk. Gondi allows lenders and borrowers to capitalize on the value of blue-chip NFT collections on the Ethereum blockchain.

The seed round for Gondi developer Florida Street was co-led by Alex Pack at Hack.vc and Rodolfo Gonzalez at Foundation Capital, with participation from Dragonfly Capital, Pantera Capital, and 6th Man Ventures, among others. “We are thrilled to have co-led Florida Street's seed round, and we are excited about the solutions they are bringing to Web3 users.

🖼 Blockchain gaming platform creates refundable NFT program
Blockchain gaming startup Spielworks has partnered with the Web3 platform Mycelium Network to launch a program that allows full refunds for nonfungible token (NFT) purchases. In an announcement sent to Cointelegraph, the team explained that within the program, users who acquire NFTs called "reverties" are eligible to get a full USD Coin. The project also allows users to stake this new series of NFTs in Spielworks’ game Dungeon Master and purchase them using USDC via a separate minting mechanism. Through the partnership, Spielworks will leverage the Mycelium Network to support USDC purchases. Within the minting transaction, the USDC will be transferred to a decentralized finance (DeFi) lending pool at the Aave protocol. The team said that the interest earned in the lending pool will be used to buy back Spielworks’ token in an attempt to help its community. A portion of the earnings will also be allocated to help the Wombat Protection Society of Australia. According to Adrian Krion, the co-founder and CEO of Spielworks, the NFTs will also have utility within their Dungeon Worlds game. They will be providing mining power and material drops to their players.

However, the company recognizes the uncertainties and worries that the introduction of AI presents - but don’t fear, there’s no chance of a M3GAN-like doll-gone-wrong here. Will Weinraub, CEO and co-founder of OnChain Studio and Cryptoys told CoinDesk that kids born in the age of blockchain and AI should be able to interact with their favorite characters from intellectual property (IP) franchises, as opposed to “faceless robotic companions,” such as Google Home.

The Department of Justice has charged a Moroccan man with "theft of cryptocurrency and NFTs through spoofing" after stealing around $450,000 worth of NFTs and crypto.
In September 2021, The defendant, Soufiane Oulahyane, allegedly created a counterfeit version of OpenSea to unlawfully gain control of the digital assets, according to a DOJ statement. This technique, known as "spoofing," tricked the unsuspecting victim into thinking they were interfacing with the real OpenSea marketplace.
Oulahyane supposedly duped a Manhattan-based NFT holder into registering on the phony OpenSea platform. The unsuspecting victim then unknowingly handed over the seed phrase for his digital wallet, allowing the scammer to transfer his crypto and NFTs, including a Bored Ape valued at $92,000 at the time.
Oulahyane is being charged with several counts of wire fraud, unauthorized use of access devices, and aggravated identity theft.
