In this episode:

• The real numbers on jobs at risk — and the data that complicates the panic more than it confirms it

• How AI training data actually gets scraped, and why “opt-out” puts the burden on the person least equipped to carry it

• This week’s Invisible Move: Chain of Title, the entertainment-law principle that nothing you build holds up without a provable, unbroken claim to it

• Three contract clauses every creative should have by now — training prohibition, chain-of-custody coverage, and credit protection

• Industry Voice: Cate Blanchett’s Human Consent Registry and the “Consent Paradox” it created, plus Sony’s Alice Xiang on why AI’s real ethics failure sits in the training data, not the output

Next week: Skill atrophy — what happens when a generation grows up leaning on AI so hard they never build the hand-skill underneath it.
