I don't want to get too deep into what I do for a living, but 'tradition' could probably keep it going for 4-5 generations ... long past my retirement age.

That same sense of tradition will keep people in charge for at least as long.

That’s not reality. That’s just some combination of wishful thinking, idealism, and virtue signaling. Life isn’t a Disney movie buddy.

Yeah the geniuses who have no incentive to be smart because there are no jobs. yeah, sounds about right.

>As a retired, disabled vet

Are you disabled or "disabled"? I know plenty of "disabled" vets collecting their 4k a month.

>Here is what we see in modern USA, for example.

I’m in the same dilemma. I honestly feel it’s insoluble because no job is safe in the advent of AGI. Seems to me it’s less a matter of “if” and more a matter of “when”. Best bet is maybe starting your own business and utilizing AI as a tool in that business.

Nah, in this industry there is so much need for massive worlds and tons of content that there's plenty of cases where we need educated people steering the ai. Even if it would be 0.001% of raw dev tasks, that could still mean there's plenty of work in every aspect of the field.

You shouldn't have to defend uncensored models to these pearl clutching prudes.

As someone who is deep into SD, it demolishes midjourney right now. Controlnet alone...

I don't think there is much crossover of people aware of that and this sub's membership.

Only advise I can recommend is stepping ahead of the ai issue and learn to use it to your advantage. It is just another tool. Calculators didn’t stop mathematicians. Just because a tool to improve them. I believe “ai” will too

Does this country you refer to (ours) hate it’s citizens as much as companies do? Will they “fire” these “employees” by taking their access cards and just march them out the “door” too?

Maybe not to all, but some? Or just to many? Or just to “employees” of “type X”?

This metaphor has me asking a lot of questions…

That fx crew business model isn't actual creating production level content, it's YT videos for noobs

I would like to know if they had any conversation with the originators of Vampire Hunter D, sorry don't follow anime so I don't know who that is. The issue of IP is different here from the Ai image generators that have caused so much controversy among the artist community where digital and physical images were scraped from the Internet and used as seed for the Ai to learn from. I think they avoided the conundrum because they used the Vampire Hunter D film to train the Ai in a style and then processed their own original images into the style with the help of the Ai. I don't see a difference between what they did and a creative director saying, "give me a caricature in the Anime style" to an illustrator.
Basically, I think that what we are seeing is a base change in the visual art for entertainment space. Some people are going to get left behind by the technology.

I can see the other side of the issue too. If we allow training Ai in this way without permission or compensation to the originator of the art used as input, then we deny the originator any say in the use of their art. Ever since the first cave paintings there have been originators and wannabes. But, isn't that where all originators of art start out? They wanted to be an artist for whatever reason. Unless they were insanely gifted they started by trying to copy some other person's art. Until, through seemingly endless repetition they made their own original work.

No, investors do already see these things. It's just that the studios will tell them that this is not how it works.

I would do healthcare, even though it could be automated, I’m sure doctors and medical staff will be protected by governments atleast in the short term. Finance though I don’t see any protections

thing is that "management" can be automated as well, why pay CEO 100million dollars when you can have AI doing that for 100 dollars....

Just wanted to say I appreciate your responses man. I love people with zero animation experience explaining shit they have no idea about and then when you create a reasonable, coherent response, receive a “lol you mad bro”

Most people here who never animated, let alone work in the actual industry have zero idea of what makes animation good. They look at something that surface- level looks similar and think it changes everything. The fact that we’ve had motion capture for decades, and it’s still preferable to use it as reference and hand animate most things shows it’s pretty clear that simply recording motion and generating images from it isn’t going to cut it.

Because in real production you need something you can actually have control over and rely on. For instance, you want to be able to rerender it exactly the same again, you want to make specific changes. You want every frame to be tailored to your needs. The lack of all such things alike doesn't make it compatible with a modern production pipeline yet. But since most people just want to watch anything, regardless of it being shit, im sure it will be adopted soon.

i dont have any advice - because nobody knows

Maybe you should ask ChatGPT

This is not anime, not even close. It doesn’t look like it or feel like it. It’s cool and new and deserves a chance, but call it something else.

One of the great features of anime is its ability to show us the impossible. Things that might never work with live action, no matter how much CGI you throw at it. This method starts with the limits of live action and goes from there.

This reminds me a bit of graphic novels that are made from real photos and then stylized from there. It’s a cool new look, but it’s also limited in form.

Economics education is a pyramid scheme. Finance is good, but companies look for math and physics majors over finance majors, because they need exceptionally strong math skills. If you can find an MBA program with a focus on entrepreneurship, that's probably your best related bet. If you can successfully start and run your own companies, you don't need to worry about a job. All you'd need, then, is a market.

Not far from solved. Don't judge from corridor crew, these guys are always late to the party.

Gang gang that’s my position that I advocate. Sit around taking drugs all day with UBI.

Stop it. Please just stop it. Nobody cares about your random conversation with ChatGPT.
