Here's a use for AI that actually made me feel nostalgic and brought a tear to my eye. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Umikrwibg_k Truly gave me chills! Regardless of the nonsense about what race mermaids are if we get an option to revisit characters as we remember them in live action movies, I would welcome it and…
I suddenly realized that I had a bunch of articles about the sad way the industry is going, as well as intellectual contributions from people far smarter than me; and a community to share them with. This is the article by crackedotcom alum Robert Evans, but if you want to listen to it on his Behind the Bastards podcast…
AI isn't threatening anyone's jobs. I've already put it to the test as a solo developer. It doesn't even threaten 2d artist's jobs; we need the PSD files to be able to do cool stuff with it, like UI design elements. Images with prebaked colour, linework and lighting are useless. 1-off 'hero' artworks used for things like…
Hey guys, I have a great idea for a new startup. Let's call it "Quantum AI SUPER Ti DILDOSS". All you have to do is just go and buy all available stock footage on the web. Then add a search bar (call it a "prompt bar", cuz ai and stuff). People will type what they want and your sophisticated AI will "generate" a video...…
It is surprising that they laid off many key employees with years of experience some of which are now starting their own studios. I don't understand this strategy at all. I am curious if they were willing to negotiate some way to retain them. Like Ubisoft has a system where they place an employee on sabattical, sometimes…
@pior thats a great thing that you did! as far as arguing with the AI bros, I mean you could just view that as a form of feedback by which you measure you success in persuasion with them. Just because I say the same thing as them doesn't mean I hold all the same views, ya know. Hitler loved dogs and I also love dogs. The…
Interestingly the studios are largely seeing it as a good skill to have (if you can actually even call it a skill) But the employees aren't supposed to talk about this openly, or atleast not make their opinions on its use indicative of the stance of the studio. This is largely because of the bad press AI has been…
But if you come across as elitist and exclusionary then you are insulting other people. I am telling you that the arguments you are making are inherently insulting to others and will turn them against you. It will make your own group smaller and smaller, instead of larger and larger. Not sure it is flawed because people…
Didn't follow the point at all if you think artist are the nazis. if you reread more carefully i think you'll see that everything i am saying is complimentary to what you are saying, even if some of it seems antagonistic.
I mean I agree. If you give a man a fish he just ask for another fish tomorrow. So a prompt engineer might "make" art for an entire career as a prompt artist without ever having even known what shape language means. But any time labor saving technology is introduced its not like the people who were laboring are now asked…
