The main way in which AI has negatively impacted games industry jobs is not through actual automation of those jobs or even untrue claims about automation. It's by making capital unavailable because it's tied up in AI investments while also destroying the consumer base for video game hardware.

My wife recently completed her first Lego Ideas and it was accepted to be voted on! If you do Lego Ideas and you like it, she would love the support! (Also I would earn a whole bunch of supportive husband bucks) Let me know what you think, I'll pass it along! beta.ideas.lego.com/product-idea...

Now you too can play a slowed down version of a game from 20 years ago with no actual level design or enemies and all it costs is a complete collapse of the world economy, biosphere, education system, and multiple entire creative industries.

Sony's handling of Crunchyroll, Funimation, and RightStuf post-acquisition inspires negative confidence in how monumentally they can and will further fuck up the anime, manga, film, book publishing, gaming, etc. industries if they successfully acquire Kadokawa.

Alright, finished up my fully procedural tile floor and tossed it up on my artstation with the wood. I could refine this quite a bit but I think I might tackle a grass/dirt/rock combo material and do some UE5 blending next. www.artstation.com/artwork/w093GL
