Someone on Reddit mentioned something fun. These people are the people that just cheat their way through life and through succes, maybe thinking it's smart instead of cheating. Then they get at a position of power, and suddenly there are actual stakes and you can't just cheat your way through it all, and you just suck at it. But your colleagues or partners who also helped get you where you are also cheat so your kinda stuck? Or we are stuck with them, prolly put it better.
It may not resonate with many people because it’s quite a small industry.
But after 25 years working in visual effects (cgi) whatever you call it now, I made my way to RnD which to me was always the coolest thing. (Helping define the future of the craft).
About a year later the midjourney and ChatGPT shitstorm poured in.
It took me 2, maybe 3 years, before I realised that I was fucking miserable, I didn’t give a shit about AI, didn’t find that it helped much more than what tight organisation would have done. and that the only reason VFX studios were interested was because the ask and expectations from Marvel, Disney, Netflix, prime, whatever else, were always insane.
They used to work us up to 80, sometimes 100 hours a week, just to release a turd like Jupiter Ascending. Not paid hours. Just expected, because we should feel lucky we get paid to make movies I guess.
It’s unbelievable to me, but I quit a very secure job, and a week later I was being asked to draw character by one of my favourite 2D animation company and the pay was lower, but for Half days of work.
This is dumb and not related to the article, and It’s just one little nobody’s experience that I’m sure isn’t something that applies to everything and everyone.
But walking away from ‘head of AI’ was the most fulfilling decision I’ve ever made.
