@@jeanladoire4141 It's not that easy. For something in the public domain to count as your work, there would need to be substantial changes made to the original, to the point where it becomes distinctly different. You can't just shift something by 3 pixels and call it your own lol.
"I've gained 61 subscribers in 24 hours. Which is insane *wholesome giggle*" what a humble and grateful guy. subscriber count goes up by 1.25% and he's happy about it
if I lost my job to AI I would feel humbled too. homeboy could have seen this coming years ago and like the smart ppl in the creative industry start his own marketing and use AI and do it better than his former boss(es) did. the way he is coping with all his efforts being stolen and saying that starting his own business is „scary and dangerous“. what is really scary and dangerous is being replacable in someone else’s company. if you run your own company, it won’t work without you therefore you will never lose your job to AI
@freakcrap1 According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), 20.8% of businesses fail within the first year, 40.9% within three years, 49.9% within five years, 65.8% within 10 years, 73.3% within 15 years, and 80% within 20 years. Both outcomes are scary I think homeboy. Glad I work at publix. These stocks are going up 😎
@@phantazem9381but have you asked why those businesses fail? Have you stopped to ask who even starts businesses and how they started? A lot of businesses, across all domains, are started without the owner being informed. They're just winging it. And a lot of registered businesses by people who don't even start working and close it down might make it into this statistic but idk their sampling methods. If you were informed mostly what it takes to run a successful business and did you homework by reading deep and wide into many successful entrepreneurs, you see they do things differently than the average business owner. Much differently. I know personally people who have made lots of money doing business, and they behave much differently than those who aren't too successful. I don't like that statistic that you shared. I think it's pretty stupid and shouldn't deter you from starting a business if you learn properly. Cuz unfortunately most people don't know what a business is.
I was arguing with a couple of AI bros over a year ago about this happening in the future. They called me dumb, not understanding how AI works, it will only help us artists and designers, how amazing it will be if i have to do way less work and get paid just as much.... I told them it will only push us out, lower our salaries, take away opportunities and make future generations feel pointless about even trying to learn these skills. Companies will just get rid of us. I was a scarecrow, a crybaby, boo-hoo i'm scared for nothing.... ... I wish i was :(
I think it’s both. It’s like any new piece of technology. Yes, some people do lose their jobs, but new jobs come out of it. For example, Microsoft excel removed the jobs all the data entry people and spreadsheet management folks since they were no longer needed since it was digital. But it created jobs in IT for people that now needed to know how to fix those computers and fix any issues with that software. AI is the same, someone will need to know how to create it, update it, fix it, patch it, and more importantly, USE IT. I think now more than ever you’ll see that most fields will require a strong background in technology or AI to prevent you from losing your job. As the work becomes more sophisticated and complex, your skills will need to too. (I do agree about the lower wage stuff but that’s a whole separate conversation about corporate greed).
@@ShadowMakesSomeArt In his example, the data entry and spreadsheet management folks need to reskill. The market is under no obligation to reward and compensate workers for utilizing the same skill for their entire careers. Sometimes there are skills that are just not valuable because more valuable solutions are developed. In the 30 years following the mechanization and mass industrialization of the automobile in the 1920's horses saw a nearly 85% reduction in population. This didn't happen because they got lazy or because automobiles are evil and kill horses. It also doesn't make the families that can purchase an automobile that is less maintenance, cheaper, and requires less knowledge to use evil. What happened was that there was simply very little work that a horse could do that would pay for its housing and hay. That doesn't mean there's zero horses today! Police use them, they're really popular here in the US for performances, sports, and hobbies, etc. There definitely will still be SOME people doing old things, but it will be both incredibly competitive and feature reduced compensation (supply and demand). It just makes sense for people to reskill when their existing market isn't worth the effort anymore. FYI: I was a machine learning engineer for a few years and work for the military on some similar things now. The best explanation and video on youtube I recommend to people about the subject of automation is by CGP Grey. I believe it's called: "Humans Need Not Apply" and was made almost a decade ago. It inspired me to get into the field as a high schooler. It's evergreen and nearly prophetic.
fr People don't understand how large companies abuse the market economy system simply because of their monetary advantage. We quite literally cannot do anything about it - statistically their ideas even have more representation in laws (at least in my country) than the average person. AI will only benefit those who have the monetary ability to use it effectively - at least on the scale of business we live in now. Companies seek more money - they do not have moral quandary beyond what they can get away with.
We should make an AI that does legal work and start advertising it as a replacement for lawyers. They'd fight it off in court and then we'd have precedent for making AI redundancy illegal
@@Jutastre very least legal fees would be cheaper so we could actually protect ourselves from illegal dealings, one of the few win win scenarios with ai.
Oh, speaking as a lawyer, if you could make an AI that can replace anything but the most mechanical parts of the legal profession, you're some kind of genius that could make an AI for literally anything. Like, it would need to be sapient to get all the bullshit going on
than your nation will go broke from other nation not caring about that lol you don't live in a bubble competition exist be the best at something or starve
I'm doing a project on AI, and it's estimated that around 300,000 jobs in the entertainment industry will be destroyed throughout animation, graphic design, music, scripts, pretty much everything. Yipee.
@@The_Dying_Rose Gen Z are getting more and more repulsed to AI, literally the Indie scene is sky rocketing and big game companies are struggling rn. And like you have to look at this in a realistic way, what happens when majority of a generation who cares about authenticity and being able to have a job, is constantly being told you won't have a life cause we'll replace you with robots. A Motherfucking revolution will happen, blocking big celebrities, rejecting and only accepting the unironic use of AI, and after Kendick Lamar literally destroying Drake for dissing his family (and shamefully using a 2Pac AI, and FYI 2Pac is Kendricks idol, so honestly deserve) Do you think people people will actually start buying up products that's made with AI? Like Microsoft is trying to develop an AI where it can make games for you. After laying off multiple employees. They think it'll save there asses but no, they're just digging their own graves. Cause we all know that this whole AI thing is a scam, like Open AI is $80,000,000 in debt and they only make $1,000,000 a year. And I doubt their plans of going nuclear won't save them either, cause I know for a fact those robotic nerds have "NO IDEA" How to well maintain a nuclear power plant. Or atleast make other people maintain it, bit with how greedy these corporations are, you know they're gonna do some shortcuts. AI is a scam, built on false promises, and the manipulation of other people. Nowadays it's being compared to NFT's & Crypto, and it's funny that if you dig into alot of tech companies. You'll find out that they were once involved with Crypto scams, and NFT projects. In conclusion, AI can be good, but RN shitty companies are the ones running the scene. And we're finally doing something about it. Damn I poured my heart out onto this.
I am exhausted and afraid. Already so low energy and now it feels like if I don't find the way to summon more I am going to be watching the last bus drive away. Hopefully I will be at a nice bus stop when I do.
@@Yugira They said 'the damage AI could do' You don't need to be clairvoyant to make effective guesses about how a new tech might have downsides. I don't understand why you are responding in such a sarcastic tone. Could you express more of what you are thinking so I can better understand?
@@VernTheSatyr The guy is clearly trying to humble brag about how he had already "figured out" the problems of AI and being super dramatic about it, as if its not super obvious that, if an AI can copy your work, it will replace you...
Your previous employer just enabled themselves to get destroyed with AI. What they did to you (stealing your designs and feeding them to AI) is 100% already happening to them and why would someone pay them for AI generated templates when they could cut out the middleman and prompt an AI themselves? It's complete hubris.
@@EVEMASTER99No. The ai is already trained good enough and doesn't need improvement in this case, because it already can do logos well. But other ai do way more complex things and need improvements to be good enough
@@zitronekoma30doesn't matter, it still should be seen as theft in some way and the use of AI will likely cause an imbalance in economies if it continues at this rate without laws being put in place to prevent things like this from happening.
I wish legislation would require royalties being payed to the original artist when art is being used by generative AI, even when the company owns the graphics since the original contract was made before AI was wildly available.
If you are employed in a corporation and you think you are doing "art", you have serious mental deficiency. You are there to make product to sell. Nothing more.
They would keep their data hidden and it would just result in artists needing to take it to court where they will be at a disadvantage. And that is only if you can verify your work was stolen and only in the countries where that was to be illegal.
@@RNorthex All of those are potential issues, and there will always be those trying to cheat the system. Which is why legislature needs to keep up. And I know that is somewhat unrealistic, and that is part of why my comment is expression a wish for an ideal world. I still think it could be doable, having some system of government oversight that keeps companies using AI honest.
What's scary is this isn't even the start of this kind of stuff but now it's ramping up SO much faster than before. Things are going to change very fast when AI keeps getting better.
Or shit will hit the fan when the ai winter will inevitably happen. And that's coming soon. Who knows how that will shatter the economy but hopefully for the better.
@@zinidinerahman4168 through out the history of computer science, ai has already gone through a few cycles of funding, hype and then disappointment on delivery resulting on cuts in funding and disinterest in research (that would be the winter). there are reasons to believe we are close to approaching the ai winter of this current cycle, some researchers have pointed out that we're simply running of data we can train ai models on and that at this stage more data would only give diminishing returns anyway, and also because of the flood of generated content found everywhere, current models are now being trained on the generated output other models created in the past which at best it doesn't make them any better and at worse leads to model collapse (models irreversibly degenerate due to corrupt data sets)
Hey Nade, sorry to hear about your job loss! I've been a graphic designer for about 22 years and I use to work is 'sausage' studios and agencies (high employee turn over and super stressful environments!). Last couple of years I joined a very large Telco and haven't look back. As you say, the work is a bit dry, but the workplace environment is brilliant and I'm valued and paid much better. Also, the larger places will give you freedom to upskill in different areas. Just a thought, best of luck with your next role!
Special education will be fine. Anything involving direct, hands on with people, will be fine. Therapists, special ed assistants, teachers, professors, so on and so forth. Creative work is getting slammed hard. The problem with AI is that it chokes upon itself, it needs new fresh content to keep up, and a big risk with AI is consuming its own content and learning from it, which is sort of like 'inbreeding' the model and causes lower quality output. Creative jobs, jobs where you 'repackage' information - journalists, artists, and so forth - are in the crosshairs of AI right now - but it won't last long.
You're probably fine. Kids can't be taught remotely, special or not. We trialled that in covid and now the upper-grade teachers are complaining that kids can't read. Just do your research and make sure you can argue exactly why you're needed. Or just get chatGPT to make your case for you. It's creatives that are fucked.
@@discontinuityI never thought about but you might be right. Going onto Google Images 6 months ago, you barely got any AI generated content, now there are already stagnant, repetitive results. Personally, I don't think AI should've ever gone past Joe Biden talking about Bhutanese weed.
@@frogeryThis is not guaranteed, speaking from experience. Not to say one shouldn't work earnestly or that it doesn't help you find and keep your job (it does help), just that whether you find or keep a job is not entirely in your control, especially if you don't own your job.
Yeah, that's why C418, the musician who made the music for Minecraft, retained his rights to the music in the game and game Mojang permission to use his content. That, as as opposed to being hired to the company and having them own the rights to his stuff. So that they couldn't bone him out of his work... This is likely why Minecraft has different music producers, now. He was asked to make more music for the game, but Microsoft probably refused to participate in the previous agreement and C418 wouldn't want to make music under a new agreement which didn't offer the same protections to his work (I use "possibly"/"probably" because I recall hearing this, but I haven't looked into it recently so I'm unsure of the exactness of the facts). Really sorry this happened to you, man. This is incredibly unfortunate, and I do hope you find a company who is happy to hire actual artists with ethical, no-AI training contracts. I still think there are companies who are genuinely interested in real artists for the virtue of it. I know I certainly will be when I explore founding my own studio (when and if I can lol).
The story you explained about your ultimate goal is basically exactly what I had hoped for myself, except with more concept art and concept design. I'm 18, and I keep losing more hope that my aspirations are possible. I've built up my art skills a lot, I feel I've become pretty good, especially for my age, but it sometimes feels like it doesn't matter if I can't make anything big out of it. I definitely don't plan on giving up on art or quitting, but I have doubts about how viable it'll be as a path for my future. With how fast the world is changing, it seems as though regardless of how well thought-out a long-term plan is, it can easily all fall apart, and all the preparations will have been for nothing. The world is more uncertain than ever, and no plans are certain, as the world can just completely change around the plan. As ai replaces creativity and creative roles more and more, it just keeps getting less and less realistic that things will go well for me and the hundreds of thousands of young creatives like me.
i know youre just being positive, but hope doesnt fix college debt spendt to build a career only for your work to become redundant to machines creating art. I really do hope things work out for nade here, though, i would probably not survive an event such as this though, but i do struggle with motivation and hope from before, and im already a few hundred thousands in the hole, and i didnt even get to begin a career with it, and i probably wont for many years.
@@wrath-2187ai cant create a new concept, they are basically just glorified pattern remixers. as long as you can make something new and not just repeating what has been done for generations of people the world will still need you
I work for an evil insurance company that just bought an AI from google, pretending it as "in-house" product to our benefit. I am going to quit because of it. This has made me realize i can do it in a way that makes a statement. This needs to stop.
3 years experience that is self taught is better than you think. It's quite valued in the industry, especially if you have a project you have been working on to show them, even if it isn't finished. It would deffos be an entry level position tho
As someone in the games industry, my heart breaks for you and everyone impacted by this. I went into Game Dev with a hope for a design position (I went to another type of job but still in the industry). I’ve been hearing a lot of murmurs of artists, web designers and writers being replaced by AI but whenever I see the results of these AI… it’s absolutely soulless. It’s infecting a lot of the art fields and it makes me even more discouraged to jump in the art direction. I really hope there are laws in place to discourage companies from hopping on the AI train or at least a way to make companies disclose they are using AI. I wish you nothing but the best in your journey. ❤️
No, it's not soulless - just a stereotype to bash AI without really understanding the subject. I've had great art pieces with Midjourney, very impressive and emotional. It gave me an opportunity to be an artist and illustrate my fiction, which I could never have done otherwise.
It's such rarity to see someone talking so calm about such situation. I don't know you, but I wish you big luck until you wouldn't heavy need any in future. Now are times what will be teached about in couple of dozens of years. New era. As many as possible people should be now highly cautious and mindful about their lives and industries they work for. And what's the most important: everybody should really keep their heads. If you lose it now, nobody will find it for you. Keep calm and carry on ;)
If AI can ever design function convincingly and intelligently like FZD suggests, then we will have different problems. Function based design requires deep knowledge of a subject that can't be gained from diffusion models
Our demo will use old-fashioned peer to peer networking, so lag will depend on who you're playing with / what location they are from. But, our 48 hour playtest sessions and the full game uses dedicated servers by Microsoft!
As someone just got out of High School and started majoring in graphic design, this whole situation regarding AI is starting to make me reconsider my future. All I’ve done growing up was make creative projects and knowing that the one thing I consider myself good at is so replaceable now is really demotivating
I don't know a lot about labor unions yet and people seem to have polarized opinions about them, but I could see them being useful in this instance. In America employment is "at-will" meaning you can be fired at any point for no reason, but industries with labor unions create contracts with your employer called a "Collective Bargaining Agreement" or CBA that can make employment termination require due cause. In addition, labor unions can propose conditions that dictate exactly when and how companies can use AI to replace workers. Tech jobs aren't usually unionized but maybe this could be a good reason to start.
It's sad how years of hardwork, passion and effort could all go down the drain in an instant. I'm currently 17, about to graduate in a couple months and pursue graphic design within college. My entire life i've always been passionate about art, and the idea of being able to make a living off of it was so intriguing to me as a kid..But with the rise of AI, any hope for success in the future is completely gone, i'm completely lost as to what i should do in life and i feel as if the one thing i was ever good at is completely useless. I'm sorry that this happened to you nade. I hope that you may find a decent job in the future
nothing went down the drain. he still got paid for all those years of work, he still has all the skills and templates he developed in that time, he still has the connections and references from his former coworkers. making money off of art was always a dream, and it has been risky since long before AI came along. it's also not true that any hope for success in the future is gone, in fact i'd argue the complete opposite that AI presents a huge opportunity for artists (and non-artists).
@@Always.Smarter Thats a load of crap did you even watch the video? Your just pulling things out of your ass and trying to cope. Listen to me now, forget about this graphic design and learn a new skill thats just the reality.
You might want to consider pursuing fine art with physical mediums (oil, acrylic, etc). I bet that kind of art will be more AI-resistant the same way a lot of custom/luxury goods succeed at selling hand-made clothes/furniture, even though factory-made products took over the mainstream market more than a century ago.
It's our first game so it is quite janky in areas, but stats say that 83% of indie games don't even make it to release, so I'd say even getting the game out there is considered success at this stage!
Nade i hope things go well for you. I think most people either haven't thought much about AI or are in denial about it. We need UBI yesterday and that isn't even close to enough. We have to start thinking about our transition to a society / world in which 95% of people don't have jobs. Anyways I think your attitude is awesome.
Well said. I’m prepared luckily as I can see it coming but many people are not aware or do not take it seriously.. Before UBI becomes a thing we’ve already entered a big crisis I suppose
i love the gameplay and just chatting vibe you do. You have a very calming aura, and if you like this format, I think you should stick with it. I'd def watch more.
Brotha, I was working for another RU-vidr (who I won’t name) making thumbnails consulting on editing etc. long story short, he started using AI for thumbnail designs I stopped getting calls. I lost work, he’s still working. RU-vidr is the only job in this sphere that won’t go away especially if you are very personality driven, no ai can be you.
So I would say dust of the ol learning hat, making some good edited content using your graphic designer skills along the way. You already have a great start, I’ve been doing this a year and have half of your subs. You’ve been give a gift and potential a life boat. I would suggest swimming to it.
Hey man, I'm a voice actor who's already seeing my potential squandered thanks to AI. At a Semi Pro or Amateur level of voice acting, people don't want to pay and would rather use AI (since it's mostly free) It's scary that AI can now pause, take breathes and all the things a human can do. The only benefit to my line of voice acting is my potential of getting into Anime or TV, since the industry is also looking to go to AI. It's a scary time, cutting both creative and fun jobs completely from us. Our lives are going to be ruined, and this will ruin our motivation It's a huge Shame!
I still can't believe how The Finals devs were PROUDLY announcing they were using AI for their voice work. Like how is that something to celebrate exactly??
Here's advice to you from someone who doesn't at all mind AI implementation in art, and will use it when I get my creative projects off the ground. Yes, moving forward you will probably never ever make a living wage doing voice work. That's just how it is. But there is still lots of artistic value in creating charming voices no one has heard before. Instead of doing "generic deepman" or anime softboy which any voice actor can do with enough practice, you could try to find Saturday Morning cartoony unique voices like Grey Delisle, Richard Horvitz, Cree Summer and so on. My opinion, as a cartoonist with projects I'm working on, I believe the ideal moving forward will be you hire a voice actor for one season and they're doing their human real voice, then from there once the performance style is et in stone, you use the Ai. So yeah, give that a thought. And no, I don't remotely care about your hurt feelings and I owe you nothing. My hostility now is because I imagine responses to my good faith, helpful advice will be shit on for me daring to consider working with useful time saving tools we all know AAA studios will abuse to turn a profit. Save your seething for your pillow, there is still value in hiring human artists for character design and other things, but human art isnt inherently better. There's nothing a human can make that an Ai won't be able to eventually replicate. Art is just an end product. Sometimes the behind the scenes is novel, and as a filmmaker I do feel a loyalty to that process. But that doesnt make the end product lesser. Ai will be responsible for narratives that move mountains with how fantastic the storytelling will be, and I alreasy like micro productions like Planet Mountain Doo and those SCP tiktoks.
@NeverlandsPhantom Using their voice for AI beyond one season, can get you in a lot of legal trouble without consent or an agreement for royalty. So, ensure to do a lot of research and be sensible. If you don't care about the actor, we for certain don't care about your project. So please be mindful of that fact and treat it as it is (a business) Also your analogy makes no sense, that's like saying any photographer can take a photo, any editor can edit, any animator can animate. Everyone is different and unique. Also, can you relax on being so condescending? You being okay with AI, is yet another reason your job will also be taken in the future.
@@Fidion Hey, are you alright? Also how does being a cartoonist make you know more about what AI is going to do to the creative arts industry than anyone else? A genuine question
as someone getting into the graphics design industry in the very near future, the fact that this is the first time im hearing about this actually happening shows that people really just dont talk about how quickly AI generated content develops and evolves. Knowing that this probably has happened to other people as well is even less fortunate, but thank you for sharing this and raising awareness about the fact that AI is GENUINELY taking peoples jobs away! hope you can find a good job soon
You are like me in the future. I am also a "graphic designer", but only a beginner, while also having some small experience in game design, concept art, character concept and etc. This is really sad how AI is taking the future of artists and designers. I hope your job situation gets better man!
As a freelance illustrator myself, I really hope this doesn't discourage people from chasing jobs in creative industries. There are still companies that only work with actual artists and don't work with AI partially because of the copyright legislation. It's all about finding your niche and creating a name for yourself, people will come because they want to work with you specifically. That being said I know it's really scary. It's feast or famine as a freelancer and some people don't have the luxury to deal with that because they have a family to support or a mortgage. I just want to put out a positive message that it is possible. Don't lose hope people!
I've been really discouraged by what's happening recently.Idk whether to pursue my dreams because I have a talent for art and design.Should I just look at a different field...😢
@@ItsalGuud I believe that there is enough work for everyone who wants to be in the creative industry, even with AI. It's just a matter of sticking with it and keep trying. It might take a few years before getting you name out there a little but if you keep at it, train your skills, people won't be able to ignore your work. Sometimes we just need to be told that it's okay of following our dreams. (I've actually written a blog post about this) I never went to school for illustration or animation. Just learned by myself while I was working a shitty retail job. I'm now in my 3rd year of self employment and working in the animation industry, while also selling my own prints etc online. If I believed my surroundings I would have never gotten this far. So if you really really want it, you can get it. Just takes a lot of hard work and determination.
I’m 15 years old and I love to Draw it always been my dream and I do it every single day so I can get better because I want to work in visual arts when I get older and then I see that ai is stealing people’s jobs and I feel like they’re is no point even trying to make art 😢
There is always a point to create. Art is more than just your abilities. Art is a means of connecting. You can build an audience off your work. The problem comes now in making it sustainable and financially beneficial which is becoming increasingly difficult.
it's amazing how level-headed you are compared to the comments, even though you're the one who was actually negatively impacted. I appreciate your humble and realistic perspective. also the chill gameplay commentaries remind me of the old youtube, and that's cool.
Thanks for making these videos. I think its important to document your journey on what you're going through, I think that a lot of people will be facing these issues. What you're doing by talking about it is more important than you think.
Please let us know if you do get a job, this is terrifying, I've been a graphic designer for 12/13 years and I am hoping that I don't get let go due to AI. Inhouse is boring but its safe.
You should be a gaming channel, like talking about game news, new games, horrors, commentary, playing , about waht u want to talk about because u have the voice for it, Like a channel with a passion for everything gaming
The copyright is similar here in the United States, at least in my case. I am not a graphics designer or artist, I am an engineer, but my company has a clause in my contract that any inventions/designs/etc. I make on the job are legally their copyrights and all of them are considered "Works for hire"
We're in an awkward place right now with the tech. Ideally it would be at a level where it would take EVERYONE'S job and then governments would just tax companies an AI tax to pay everyone a Universal Basic Income
Definitely consider doing more live commentary and experiment with that. You’re getting some traction here, might as well jump on the opportunity! When one door closes, another one opens
This is disgusting, I sympathize with AI doing work but the terrifying thing is that its completely unregulated unlike getting work done normally through employment
8:00 I think getting into live commentary with gameplay in the background is a good idea tbh, most of the commentary/gameplay content I've seen has done pretty well since it's so niche (depending on the topic maybe). I'd definitely be interested in that from you!
As a fellow carbon-based biped mammal, I think your heart and mind are in the right place. The past is behind us, I applaud your resolve to move forward. As a Tech PM, focusing on the game you are creating should be the target. Finishing/publishing something is always better than nothing. You also gained one more sub 😊
I'm new grad illustrator from Istanbul. at the end of the december I get laid off. boss didn't said "there is AI we dont need you anymore" but I m sure AI affected to boss to take decision. I m still searching for job. as I follow the place who laid off me they hire new artist a 2d animator with some drawing skills (mostly stylised cartoon style. I was mostly do paintings and drawings near to realistic style.)
copyright same in the us as you mentioned when working for another company. Unless otherwise sated in a contract. It blows my mind that so many "creators" in the US do not ever seem to know the copyright laws. Yet they are "business owners". Then they go onto facebook groups asking everyone how to run their "business". First us vets had to deal with low barrier to entry, now AI. LOL, All you can do is laugh.
I worked at a tax firm for a couple months, you would be astonished how many people dont even know what type of business they are running (such as a sole-pro, partnership, s-corp etc...)
As machines and outsourcing made factory labor redundant, generative AI will render most tech jobs redundant. Fewer jobs, more demand for said jobs, Lower wages for more work because you're more replaceable. It's only going to get worse from here.
Historically, things like this have happened to lots of jobs. The invention of alarm clocks and electricity put streetlight lamp lighters and bell ringers ("knocker-ups") out of work in the mid-20th century. These people found jobs in other industries. I guess you'll have to do the same, unfortunately.
Recently you are blowing up because of this. I am just gonna put this out there. You should streaming and having fun entertaining. up to you buy you are in a rare situation with a big opportunity. you clearly are good enough at halo to be entertaining too
Because something is "legal" doesn't make it ethical. They completely abused you. You can be assured that nobody took a salary cut and the heads of your company will likely get a pay raise.
@@Nadestraight you are humble my friend. Try to throw in a few different Genre games some triple A ones gameplay videos . Would love to see someone different than the typical few. If possible, if not it’s all good brother
Regarding live commentary videos, if done right it can be really cool to watch and create a mini community that always follows you, fatmagic is a good example of this, he is good at the game he plays, he has some fun stories from his life to tell, and every now and then someone gets mad at him in the game and it makes the video super funny, with him trying to tell the story while someone rages at him
I lost my job as a software developer a month ago. The software industry is suffering due to multiple factors, A.I, economic downturn, outsourcing etc. I spent the last 5 years building up all these skills and now I feel it was all for not. I don’t have a degree either and in the current state of the market get completely overlooked. I am even thinking of going back to uni for a more hands on engineering degree. Dont really even know how ill handle that with a kid and a mortgage to pay for.
@@NadestraightI think you thinking that you‘re not that interesting makes your style feel more mature cause you don’t exaggerate (no motivation for punctuation)
I love background talking, plus you have a soothing voice, The shooter game itself: idc for, Your voice and hopefully your storytelling: I am subscribing for! Ps sorry to hear what happend😢
you are not using the full jack of all trades quote it has a second part to it (even though no one really uses it for some reason) the quote goes “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”
I'm an accountant and during the pandemic created various macros and power queries to automate aspects of my job. Creating a similar situation hours of work now done in minutes. I think should start password protecting my work
If I were you, I would learn AI, train a bot on my own work, and lease the bot as a subscription on chatgpt. If it’s good enough to steal, it’s good enough to sell.
I just looked at 2 market leaders Wix and Squarespace and both have new AI tools . It is a bit scary how advanced AI is becoming . I’m sorry your job got killed . Surely there will still be some design jobs left for high end websites , brochures etc but not the same quantity.
For people wondering, in the US, there is usually a contract when graphic designers make designs for a specific company, especially when the designer is an employee of the company, that gives the rights to the company. This can change if the graphic designer is a contractor or freelancer, but most often it's similar to how Nadestraight described it working in the UK, only difference is the signed contract. Basically, the company can do whatever it wants with work produced by an employee of itself, including showing that work to an AI network to replicate.
I actually wanted to become a doctor really badly, but then decided to pursue a career in retail management and later aim to own my own companies instead, because these are likely the most secure and well-paying jobs I can get in my country right now. That is because AI is going to take over the medical field. It's not happening yet, but I can envision it; and if I can envision it, it will most likely happen very soon. I designed an electromagnetized train system when I was 15 years old; I didn't think anyone would ever come up with that anytime soon. Three years later, a Japanese engineer built and marketed it. Similarly, I envision an AI substitute for doctors that is incredibly cheap and has a high probability of accurate diagnosis, because AI can become much better at that than any human could ever be. With enough lobbying, it would earn a license to diagnose and write prescriptions. Then all they would need to do is market it so that people don't have to leave their homes to get a prescription or to be written off sick for their employer. All doctors could lose their hard-earned jobs within a year or two.
learn typescript + java and/or C# + mysql or postgre learn how to make a frontend web application, connect it to the java/C# backend, learn about migrations and managing the sql database (basic queries and using the postgre UI for instance)
The moment every other guy at your job gets fired and you are the last one left. Not a single word of empathy for them loosing their job. Then you get hit, its all I lost, I lost, its hard for me. You should maybe have talked to your colleagues who lost their job and seen this comming. They came for the desk clerks and I said nothing, I was not a desk clerk. Then they came for the McDonalds people and I said nothing. I dont work at McDonalds. Then they came for my colleagues and I said nothing, it was not me. Now they came for you and its too late to have an exit plan
In terms of content for your content on this channel I think it’d be a great resource for potential graphic designers if you made more videos on your work in the industry, whether it be the types of classes you took, industry standards, answering questions/advice you wish you had when you started graphic design, I think a lot of people would look forward to seeing those types of questions answered
This was a miss for them. With your experience they could have trained up in the AI tools and put you in a transformative leadership role. Their loss ultimately.
AI development causing people to lose jobs is not collateral damage, it's the end goal. Graphic designers are the first ones on the chopping block during the coming paradigm shift and the system is completely unprepared. As more jobs will become redundant, we will be able to deal with this more efficiently.
It still might be worth consulting a workers right lawyer. Obvs I'm not sure how the law is where you are at but many if not most workers rights lawyers, in the US, work on contingency, meaning they don't charge up front. This might be very similar where you are at. If you signed a bunch of stuff or had some exit interview upon being let go its unlikely you could get anything out of it but there is a hgh chance it won't cost you anything to consult a lawyer. Either way best of luck.
I got into graphic design as a hobby. I really enjoy it and got very good at it. It's not what I majored in but I want to do it on the side for money and I'm angry that I will never ever get that opportunity now.
I think this was a blessing in disguise. Even if they hadn’t let you go investing more of your career into this company that clearly don’t value their employees as people and only see your output would have been bad in the long run. You clearly have a lot of passion and you need an employer who sees that and not just training data
