I'm sorry but if you have 4,000 employees and your revenue is 6 billion, you make 1.5 million per employee and if you can't make a profit margin there, you are simply embezzling it.

I want every word of this in massive letters of fire in the sky. Thank you, @moryan.bsky.social.

Good morning

A mug depicting KC Green's This Is Fine dog comic, but tragically faded

I've had my This Is Fine mug so long that the dog has become a ghost and all that remain are flames

I'm really struggling and could use some help finding work if anyone has any leads, including freelance or contract work, I'll take anything 😩 I've got 10 years of experience in gaming with strengths in writing, editing, communications, social media and community management

Thanks Bruce, I'll leave the slop to the folks on Twitter/X though!

Good, now can I get a grant to teach people to do digital art without AI please?

I think I might take one of these "under 20 minutes" AI skills courses the UK Govt. seems very keen on everyone doing and live-post it here... Maybe we can all learn something together! The press release sends me to aiskillshub.org.uk/aiskillsboost/ - let's go and see!

The UK paid £4.1 million for a bookmarks site Or, as they like to call it, the 'AI Skills Hub'. Which was built by PwC because of course it was

mahadk.com/posts/ai-ski...

This is the biggest targeted training programme since Harold Wilson started the Open University (note).

Open to all UK adults online, taking as little as under 20 minutes, the courses will give

founding partners - Accenture, Amazon, Barclays, BT, Google, IBM, Intuit, Microsoft, Sage, SAS and Salesforce to take the Al Skills Boost programme to the next level and upskill 10 million workers with Al skills by 2030.

The government’s suggestion that rolling out 20 minute courses on writing “AI“ prompts, sponsored by Google, Microsoft and Amazon, is somehow comparable to the founding of the Open University (the Wilson government‘s, & Jennie Lee’s, proudest achievement), is an insult to our human intelligence.

No, thanks. How about spending the dosh on some free health screening to catch various conditions early, or going back to teaching creative arts and music in schools, or even financial savviness to kids. Anything but forcing more AI down our gobs.

Counterpoint.

Instead, offer free media literacy and critical thinking training to every adult in the UK.

collage of 4 of my art pieces, 2 of which are unfinished. Sorry. My face is in the middle in a circular frame. Hello, nice to meet you. Thanks for checking out my work. There's a link to my Artstation in the post too, wow!

Just moved from the UK back to the Netherlands to a temporary place. Really in big need of permanent type job, even non-gamedev related. Open to links to jobs, contacts, reposts, suggestions for what kind of non-gamedev corners to look in. Anything :)

Thanks Craig I appreciate it! 👍

Thanks Brent , yeah you're right. That bubble can't pop soon enough 🙂

Thanks Mike , I appreciate it

Was hoping for more support for this post, both here and on Linkedin, Thanks Brent for the like and repost. Fighting against AI feels like a lonely uphill struggle. If you don't stand up, or stand with those against it, digital art as a career will be over soon. I'm feeling like it already is. 😢

Reply or quote if you are anti-AI, anti-generative-AI and pro-human made art.

I am a 3D artist, I don't use AI, here's why and how you can retain quality and efficiency. GenAI causes choice paralysis: I already have lots of ideas, and its my knowledge and experience that filters them out. I don't need to see them when I can think them and narrow them down.
