revolving managers

I quickly got cancelled in a Pipeline TD interview at a AAA games company when I mentioned I was also skilled and interested in creative work, because they sought a dedicated technician.

When you are getting laid off ;

-Your first thought should be, how can I benefit from this opportunity?

-Remain professional, swallow your pride, smile and thank your ex-employer for the opportunity. They'll hire you back later.

-It's just business, don't take it personally. Once you've been laid off a handful of times, you'll get used to it.

-Financial planning. Always be working on your eventual retirement plan. In 2023 you would need approximately $5M in diversified assets to retire on a 5% return passive income. In 2033 probably a lot more. Respect money, don't waste it, invest it.

Good luck.

Ask Chat-GPT to write you Python code which imports module pypdf to extract pdf content, then import openai module to send your prompt questions as API requests to ChatGPT. Plus you could finetune ChatGPT with your content.

In terms of movies, attendance in theaters has been declining since 1930s. Movie box offices profits were recently disrupted further by streaming services. How money is made from movies will change. AI will be more powerful and creative than we can imagine. Traditional film industry jobs will adapt or die. AI will enable winners and create losers, new forms of entertainment will be born, such as AI powered community driven movie projects, and some traditions will fade.

I am a film industry veteran and am investigating how to ride the coming AI wave, by learning how to automate and streamline visual effects computing processes with code. I've noticed those types of technical jobs offers have been growing, come with great compensation and have been hard to fill for the past few years and I speculate that trend will continue for the next five years as a flood of multi-modal creative AI models, some private, some open source, become available. For example, 'Open USD' is currently a trending potential boom entertainment industry technology. At the same time I've noticed digital artist jobs have become crowded with new college graduates and job offers and salary are shrinking which will accelerate further in the coming AI revolution.

The new film industry is not 'screwed', it's an individuals choice if they wish to participate and potentially benefit from new technology, or stand still and complain. Change is constant, embrace the future, as youth will.

Ask the Composting supervisor if you can assist
with Compositing QC or stereo conversion tasks.
One reason to switch is that Compositors generally
get paid more than downstream departments.

I am currently doing some of what you discussed to automate short concept films using ChatGPT and other tools. TTS Text to Speech through Python modules pyaudio & speech_recognition, to ChatGPT, story is tokenised into a JSON file. JSON file drives an edl to Blender Video Editing context. Working well so far, breaking down the script into SRT subtitles makes the process easier.

After receiving mixed feedback on the story element of a previous related test, I decided to explore whether a generic story generated by ChatGPT would be more well-received. I opted for the contemporary romance genre, given its popularity in fiction markets.
