    With AI replacing the games and VFX industries, they’ll be lots more of this stuff going on I imagine.

    Holodeck-like game dev will probably eventually be a thing… And I thought I’d be happy about that. But I’m not.

    Hopefully the planet and the species will last long enough that we’ll laugh about Data Centers taking up huge buildings… And how toxic everything was back in 2026…

    … hopefully we’ll survive long enough to see today like we now see the 1950s (with nuclear techniques) and earlier. But I just don’t think we’re improving the world.

    …and Nuclear Power hasn’t really be that great either.

      Ai replacing VFX is still ai marketing as far as I’ve seen. The US vfx market is in a slump because of outsourcing, and streaming platforms that don’t need to produce blockbusters to keep people watching and paying. Ai for vfx only works on social media where one succeeds by capturing attention as quickly as possible, and it doesn’t matter if there’s 5 fingers if it drives more engagement.

        Believing it can do Game Dev, but will for some reason stop at being able to transfer all those 3D modelling and animation abilities for VFX is a bit of a pipe dream. If it can model and animate characters and events in video games VFX tools will start dropping too.
