I did an OpenGL course once but had to bail because of a more important project. Bought a book and attended classes. A friend of mine made a rough animation of several seconds without sound. I guess it is fun to do stuff like that. But what will the professionals do now? Maybe they will teach amateurs for a while. If teachers get replaced...

Yes, this makes more sense. It will make the production cheaper. They can experiment more, take more risks, and smaller players can enter the market easier. This will rather become more of a competition to (western) live-action productions. Especially to those with high production costs but bad story telling. The ones with a good story on the other hand will be made as an animation if a live-action production is too expensive. For example, the r/raisedbywolves fans are hoping for a follow up as an animation or a game at this point.

You mean the current anime looks? You are trolling.

Why? It's about creating different stories. People don't just watch anime because it looks like anime.

22nd century feudalism is coming. The lower classes will never be equal. Just a fact of life.

The masses will get food and shelter. The few folks that control an AI will be the kings. Their close associates will be the lords. Everyone else will be a serf.

You're right, understanding humans and the world is necessary to create a consistent story that resonates with people.

> Should we be happy this grueling work is going to be phased out?

Yes. Absolutely. It will increase the production values, make the barrier to produce animation much lower, and it will remove a sweat shop class of laborers that is sweat shop-styled because it's prohibitively expensive to do it in any other way.

Removing a class of zero-social mobility poverty level work is never wrong even if someone gets squeezed by it when it happens.

>victim: the anime industry

You got it wrong: More anime will mean less audience for other productions. Smaller players will be able to enter the market.

>allowing them to create sequels with the exact same actors and styles, or spinoffs in the same style but with completely different characters.

This doesn't necessarily work and stories also matter.

>Netflix is posed to be the biggest benefactor of this new trend

There are other anime studios, the good anime in Netflix came from Japan, and the tech will make it easier for smaller productions. If the tech exists, then Netflix doesn't own it.

>as well as the funds

They're broke as hell

>vision

I doubt it.

Interesting video but I couldn’t get past that dudes excited self satisfied face and wavy arm movements, shame they couldn’t AI that out really

i cant wait for tech to get to the point where pokemon go actually looks like the first ads that came out for it

What do you think will be cheaper to retain forever?

A 24/7 medical life support monitoring robot system that involves feeding an unconscious person, cleaning away waste, flipping the person over every few hours to prevent pressure ulcers, treating infections and other disease that appear in the dysfunctional body. In addition to this maintaining a future tech computer-brain interface

Or

Staffing robots into a 5 star hotel in a tropical paradise that maintains the structures and cooks food when requested by the guests

So, your plan for the future is more expensive than hopping between 5 star luxury hotels forever. Probably by a magnitude.

This is what I used to believe, too. But psychologists have shown that it is not the case. Think of small children: they act on their environment without recognizing objects and thereby learn what things are. Like opening/closing drawers, tearing paper, putting things in their mouth to find out if it is edible, etc.. And you surely noticed that if you see or think of something that you don’t know the function of, you can’t visualize it.

I think post-style is already a thing. That is, being concerned with individuality and recognizability or legacy is more of a 20th Century development and many people don't occupy themselves with standing out or moving against the grain of society.

As an example, as a professional artist I am one of these people using AI to to jobs in many styles.

just what we need, even more lazy trash on our streaming services

careful curation is good, actually

Just posting criticism because that's more interesting: The problem it's going to encounter, especially based off their video, is human acting is far from exaggerated animation. Animation has a smooth flow to it with intense extremes when wanted. That's something the AI can't really replicate.

FWIW, that was one of the new things in the process behind this video. They applied a fluorescent light deflicker effect to the output from Stable Diffusion (sometimes chaining a few together), and it handled the flicker very well.

Thats when UBI comes in

bruh

there's got to be an art tutorial or something on youtube that could teach you how to draw more than stickmen that you could watch for half an hour to an hour a day instead of tinkering with AI art in the same timeframe

Maybe your kid will grow up having no distinction between something that is made by an AI or a human, maybe they will appreciate something that is hand drawn over something that took little to no effort to prompt and edit.

Well, are you pursuing this career to program and do art or to make games? If there is a faster way to make games and your goal is to make games, you're aligned and can focus on exploration of gameplay, story, mechanics, etc. If you're interesting in being an artist and doing it the old school way, there are people who still make games for older systems and in older styles as a self expression form, Ai will kill neither.

Slightly different idea, why not take some basic looking crappy CGI and modify the art style, maybe a lot less work, maynot work. But one thing This will definitely get rid of the is crappy CGI anime, well guys , i think it's over no more crappy CGI anime

Humans do struggle with it. Japanese as a language is vague on purpose so that you can always have plausible deniability to save face. This is great for cultural purposes but it's a nightmare for AI (or autistic people).

It's not just the people in high paying jobs. You can add creative jobs to that too. And that's important because of our cultural insulation over what creativity is and how it's a "human" thing. We already saw a fierce protest against AI art simply over still images. Imagine what it's going to be like when it's full storytelling, multimedia projects, and music.

A combination of white collar and creative work being automated in such short order is disastrous. But I'm going a step further to say that even a lot of blue collar jobs will be getting automated in a few short years once robotics pick up. Not all of them, surely, but enough that the general unemployment rate should be around 50% to 70%.

UBI is not enough.

Even communism is not enough.

This is not a problem that can be fixed just by throwing money at it. It's a cultural, psychological, and behavioral issue as well. We're going to tell hundreds of millions of people still living a decade or even two decades in the past "You're out of a job, you're of a career, and your grandchildren are going to be posthumans."

What exactly does this sub think is going to happen? Really, honestly. What do Singularitarians seriously think is going to happen? Everyone shrugs and says "Okay, good"?

If so, then I might actually need to leave this sub for good.

well, I was not thinking communism, but a strong form of social democracy where robots are taxed at a very high rate, ubi for the unemployed and so on. But it looks to me that most americans think about capitalism just as it is today in US, which is an ultra liberistic form. In fact US is one of the country in the world with the highest income imbalance among developed countries.

Exactly. But even scarier is the fact that initial set of people who will lose jobs will go from high paying to not even UBI yet. Without UBI this will be chaos in just 5-6 years.
