  • They do say straight away that the concept and design departments are getting slashed, now with very few human artists, all who are forced to use AI in their workflow.

    The same is happening in VFX and film to some extent, though I know that from personal acquaintances and not the article.

    That’s it. The rest is conflated as you say. It is a very loooong article so I didn’t finish it. Perhaps I missed the real horrors at the end of it.



  • Thanks, that was a good read. FB is so disgusting. Had I known a tool like this existed I may have stayed. I haven’t used for at least 5 years, but I kept the messenger lite app to stay in touch with people via chat. They killed the app and that was it for me. The feed is garbage. Meta is garbage.

    I’ve read the ars article linked too, and I think this attitude is so petty- most people aren’t power users or inclined to customise their social media/browser experience. The amount of people who would use the tool would be minimal in comparison with the majority who happily eats their feed without question. Meta is greed incarnate.






  • Maybe not exactly big news, but ever since the internet became a thing, information started to flow a lot faster and farther than before. You may have a point, and this article is more an opinion than anything but I don’t think it’s unreasonable. Here’s why:

    Scientists and academics are used to think and develop concepts and ideas for decades. As individuals, each usually has a very firm stance on one particular issue, but as a collective, the sciences will keep several contradictory hypothesis in consideration for a long time until there is enough evidence to cement a theory. And even then, there’s always some whacky theory floating around.

    The general public on the other hand, isn’t used to this kind of nuance. Most pre internet people see " scientific publication = truthful fact " as this is more or less what they grew up with. They didn’t stay in school long enough to see their textbooks get updated, had no easy access to new research contradicting the mainstream.

    Today there is an overabundance of information floating around, especially online, and tons of articles based off on scientific papers which most people take for gospel without any understanding of how the scientific body of knowledge grows over time. Add to that the noise caused by pseudoexperts and conspiracy theorists and… would you like a cup of Ivermectin?





  • Couldn’t agree more, you make a point with the timeline. It’s changing too fast. And it’s not only ChatGPT but also image generation tools such as Midjourney. There are AI for 3D models too now, which I believe will be of industry standard quality in a year or two.

    AI is a phenomenon of a similar weight as the Industrial Revolution, but its much faster development means a lot of people can’t keep up or change careers
