> But almost at that same moment, Netflix has listed a $900,000 job opening for an AI guru. That doesn’t feel like a balanced approach to me.

I think this is a dishonest comparison. This is a very high end position, one of the best in the world. It would be like saying “Netflix is paying the Rock $50M for a movie, so actors definitely have the upper hand.”

There’s way fewer actors and writers than programmers so it’s hard to compare, but I don’t think cherry picking salaries and then generalizing very useful (for more than blog views).

The job description seems to imply that you aren’t replacing screenwriters but to augment the decision making on what to green light anyways .

On top of that, the listing said the salary was $300k-$900k. I would bet money that the actual person who gets hired will not be making $900k right off the bat.
