Google has partnered with Darren Aronofsky’s AI-Driven Studio Primordial Soup. I still don't understand why SAG-AFTRA's strike to ban AI from Hollywood studios didn't affect this new studio. Does anyone know?


Primordial Soup isn't a guild signatory, which means they aren't bound by the agreement negotiated during the strike. It also means they cannot hire guild actors for their projects, but that isn't a likely concern given the nature of the company.
