  1. Remember when Republicans run on helping blue collar workers but don’t even attempt to pass any legislation to help them?

    It’s amazing you can link current events, AI and new government policy, straight to those job losses

  3. This was posted to r/vfx. Can’t comment on the other titles, but on vfx it was pointed out that it’s a bit difficult to track employment because the title itself varies. VFX Artist could be listed as rigger, matchmover, painter, compositor, etc… It could be the case that generalist listings reduced but there was an increase in specialist titles.

  4. The visual arts are done forever as a profession. As an awkward young artist who could barely lift his GPA above flunking, I made a good career through creativity. Now I realize I’m one of the lucky last generations before AI to even have that option.

    What’s even more depressing is, as a recreational artist, I now compete with AI “art” on sites like deviatnart. We can’t even share personal art without being diminished by AI’s existence.

    We might be the canary in the coal mine, but it’s coming for *all* of us.

  5. I feel like scribe in general is a dead career. Not because people aren’t still far better than transcription software, but because the people making the software actually want you to make it harder to train their AI and will compensate you for it. There’s no way a human can compete.

  6. Im Coporate Compliance adjacent – its interesting just because its now much more technical than it was a few years ago. You really have to know how to utilize huge data sets effectively, with or without AI. You dont need a department running audits anymore, you just need a couple of really skilled people interpreting it. The ceiling was lower before, but it was also less competitive.

    What exactly is a computational biologist and why are they affected by AI ? Isn’t it a bit like Bioinformatics/Biotech?
