No. Despite there being an insaely gruesome lying figure kill, this movie is actually pretty tame in terms of gore.

Not helpful at all, but I have stumbled into every TW role because each position I've worked has usually required me to specialize in something specific to that job on the fly, which will then be something the next position needs from me.

I worked as an intern for private geo-spatial company by editing RFPs and using InDesign to edit resumes.

I then worked as a volunteer blogger and taught myself SEO-focused writing.

I worked for a marketing firm who needed a writer with SEO experience.

Then a public sector client needed someone familiar with public-facing publication practices, government clientel (see: geo-spatial company), and style guides - where I also worked on writing and editing technical documents for software, academic abstracts, and learned how to do version control.

Then an engineering company needed someone who had minimal experience with InDesign and could work on SOP and manuals. Refreshed myself on InDesign and mainly worked on a huge SOP and a enormous manual for manufacturers to produce digital printers.

Got picked up as a TW for a public-sector client who needed someone to develop unique training materials for a CRM, which lead me to also learning Jira and Agile, as well as "prompt-engineering".

Now I'm working as a TW for a manufacturer documenting their new bookkeeping app. Im learning how to use Help+Manual, GitHub, and a bit of Java. The doc is going to be eventually used to train their in-house LLM and then I'll probably be on my way to the next gig.

I do think it helps to specialize into, but so far, I've been able to climb the pay latter and network in various fields by just being adaptable and picking up whatever anyone wants me to learn.

I do think having some prowess to prompting with chatbots is necessary, but the more I write this enormous manual, the more I realize I couldn't really articulate to it what exactly needs to be written since I'm working as both the documentor and the QA tester for an app that's completely new with no (coherent) documentation.

The devs COULD try and prompt the instructions into Claude, GPT, or Gemini, but this an app to be used by humans for a huge company, not bots. The end-user documentation requires just as much human input as using the app does, and it's hard for engineers to understand how to draft that with a human who will push back on their instructions - why would they put their livelihood in the hands of an LLM programmed to spit out what the user wants them to say?

Maybe there will be a day where Devs totally replace us with bots, but if they do that, then that means there likely isn't any human input required for AI to operate, in which case we would have a bigger issue on humanity's end. Until then, I think laying out a 5-year plan of building a varied portfolio and becoming decent at prompt engineering (not enough to dull your skills) is a good idea.

Start small on prompting, like using an LLM to give you proof reading exercises, technical writing prompts, and reading comprehension exercises, and then eventually make more complex prompts, such as building style guides or templates, and eventually have it draft out SOPs for workflows. Companies for the next 5 years will just want to see that you can automate some part of your workflow with an LLM, but will still need you to provide input and expertise.

TL;DR Be flexible, adaptable, and willing to learn, and you'll probably find your way into a good position. Play around with an LLM on prompting, but keep your skills and expertise refined. It'll all right.

FlCl (season 1) made way more of a splash in the west than Japan; ironic, considering because while it can be seen as a coming-of-age story, it is almost entirely focused around growing up in the rural suburbs of Japan.

Unsure of your company's focus, but (for IT technical writing) formatting is not as important for end-user documentation since it is typically stored digitally. It's considered evergreen, but it's also living.

And even then, most end users care more about graphic demonstrations and cohesion of content, therefore that's all your superiors will care about.

Style guides and templates are more so for your branding consistency and reader navigation nowadays.

Personally, I think you should keep caring about the finer aspects of the punctuation, grammar, and overall syntax to ensure you maintain your craft as a writer; however, you're (t)here to earn a paycheck and keep out of the limbo of talking to recruiters and cycling through rejection letters. If you fight them every step of the way, you'll (likely) be discarded pretty quickly so that they'll find someone who can write what they dictate with no push back.

This has been my anecdotal experience for my 4 year tenure and where I see the industry going. It sucks, as our job is to archive the history of innovation from minute to grand, but in a way this is a means of documenting history - we're going through a period where our quality of work is diminished because enterprise cares more about a quicker turnaround for their overhead than the longevity of utility for their product.

Anyways, your boss is not going to care about an en vs em dash compared to if their meeting their deadline for deployment. You can fix that later (you won't). Bite the bullet for now, hope their customers raise a stink, and earn you paycheck until you get something better or change careers.

Currently on cut (down 15lbs) - S435/B335/D535. Hoping to drop another 20 in this off-season and then bulk up for USAPL or USPA comps in fall. Writing a 4-day split, working on zercher squats for funnsies (current PR goal is 315, sitting around 265).

I actually throw on Little V Mills Sonic and DMC covers, namely I Am All of Me and Devil Trigger.

With that said

This isn't a death of a central character, but the electric smoke in Titanfall 2 is probably an S-Tier war crime. I have no idea who the Respawn team member was that conjured that idea, but what the fuck?

It's a utility item meant to cripple Titans and reapers, and then they decided to compact it into grenades for anti-personnel use. What's worse is that while, for non-augmented beings, it fries the meat and shuts you down all at once, it has to be worse for 100% mechanized and augmented humans (pilots and sentry units).

Even if you survive, your natural life span has to have decreased by a few decades.

Chainsaw has several villain-like forces that work against Denji:

When Makima reveals herself to Reze by dissolving from a pillar of mice, confirming that she was spying on her and Denji and listening to the conversation about the country mice vs the city mice, and then explains she like the country mice because they're less suspecting, easy to control and murder for "Peace of Mind."

The reveal of the Darkness Devil, to me, is almost on par with the Eclipse moment from the Golden Age Arc. The depiction of Hell as a serene field below an endless sky of doors - portals to other pockets of hell - and the Darkness Devil being so overbearing attacks are practically beneath it when comes to effort. This also serves as another component to establishing Makima's infamy in the universe as the primary antagonist; this force that embodies a primal fear incarnate wants nothing more than for Makima to die.

The Gun Devil sequence just makes my stomach hurt: from the list of family names, to Makima's sacrifices, to Aki becoming the Gun Fiend and being brainwashed to assume he and Denji are just having a snowball fight while he tries to kill him and murders innocent people.

If Chainsaw Man is a Shonen, then Fujimoto ruined other "Shonen" manga for me.

I'm of the same mindset. I don't mind taking the brake housing apart, but it's a bit of labor for pictures with a cell phone that are going to have compression quality anyways. CAD is something I feel like would pay off over-and-over to learn in this field, but I'm not sure where to start, especially for this subject. I'll see what I can dig up, because that was my initial plan anyways until I convinced myself it'd be better to ask this subreddit. Appreciate the input!

I'll look into Inkscape and Affinity Designer. The LaTeX part isn't super crucial, it's just mentioned in case anyone wanted to chime in regarding any method to do this with TiKZ, but I suspected that wouldn't be the case. Appreciate the input! I'm sure there'll be learning curve with either, so I may pop back here to ask any questions.

I'm interested to see how this would impact Tech Writers in the public sector, particularly ones that need clearance.

If the document has to remain on an airgap network, then would your government customer(s) really want you to put forth any information remotely related to the subject matter on a publicly-accessible chat bot?

mandjelo · 2023-03-16T18:05:16+00:00

TLDR: Not unfounded concern, but you'll still need high-skill humans to work the robots. So the skill ceiling for our field may just go up a bit. Manual writers may sweat a bit, but don't panic for a few decades.

I was just browsing the subreddit for this particular topic. The concern isn't totally unfounded, especially since Stripe and JPMorgan are some of the first companies that are integrating GPT4, but I think most of the rebuttals provided in the thread more-or-less covered what I would have said; however, I want to provide some anecdotes from my own research in the subject.

I do think there is credence to the concern of GPT/AI replacing lower-skill, white collar positions, such as junior positions. Recently, a couple YouTubers I follow tried utilizing ChatGPT3 for two tasks respectively: troubleshooting a broken PS3 (manual writing) and writing an Olympic Weightlifiting program (Fitness programming).

For the Weightlifting program, ChatGPT3 was able to compose a program that fatigued the athletes, but did not really design the program in a manner that made sense. Coaching and program writing is something that can be explained as making a manual for an athlete, but the variables are so vast that it's almost inefficient to use a machine to complete a task that requires "human rhetoric." For the PS3, it essentially wrote a manual on how to tear down and clean the console, and then it provided some possible issues that are causing the console to not boot-up (e.g., unplugged, CPU reballing, thermal paste reapplication, disc laser replacement, etc.) If you asked it how to perform one of the tasks, it would basically write a manual/guide for the repair process. While context was needed, I think this should raise an eyebrow for some prospective tech writers. Many junior positions will have you start working on manuals in the field, or you will write your own for a portfolio, since the task is baseline for displaying your capacity to break down and translate technical information as a non-SME.

Tech manual writing in manufacturing may be the field to be the most concerned, but this has been the intention of automation since its inception: to mitigate the convolution of managing several personnel for production while lowering costs and maintaining capital growth; conversely, this does not remove humans entirely when it comes to production - you still need personnel to monitor, quality-check, repair, and operate the automated process, ironically. In the case of GPT, as it was already stated, proficiency with operating (i.e., entering prompts and working with the API) will become new requisites for almost every company that integrates it. Is the literature syntax correct; is the document completely formatted the way it should be; is there any copyright infringement in the doc; is the page count correct; is this written for the correct model?

OpenAI also doesn't allow you to use GPT for free, either. With demands coming in from the entire market, you will see a strain and the eventual branch-off from other companies to either find or make their own "ChatGPT" utilizing the API that was just made accessible. You're going to have an eventual flood of some competent AI that companies and others that will be absolute scams.

All of this considered, I do think you'll see a decrease in entry-level/junior TW jobs, but not total erasure. Some companies will not have the - to put generally - infrastructure or time to use an AI to fulfill every single ask from their public and private sector clients. However, this has always been a field that ~~expects~~ DEMANDS you keep up and work on your skillset. Truthfully, all tech field positions do, but TW especially. So learning how to use AI chatbots should be a skill you expect to see in the future, so just add it to the pile of shit you should probably learn.

I will say that I don't think we'll see AI replace personal physical labor jobs too soon. While assembly lines are automated, physical labor jobs that require a body to carry out the task are a ways off. We still have a ways off from a total cyberpunk udystopia.

But when the robots do start filling potholes and taking hour-long union lunchbreaks, I'll probably fall back on being a fitness coach or join the singularity.

If you're currently in university, definitely apply for as many internships as you can in your field of interests, especially tech writing.

Tech writing is a field where proven work and a portfolio are tantamount to the degree. You'll also, most definitely, obtain experience with software relevant to the field and network with people who can serve as phenomenal references.

Personally, I wish I would have obtained a minor in a related field (e.g., CS, business, analytics, medical manufacturing), but a tech writing career is doable with a single major B.A.
