“Tony [Gilroy] finally turned to me, and he said, ‘Hey, you just got to stop pitching plot. Plot is bullshit. Plot is what happens when you get the behavior right. Pitch me a line of dialogue, pitch me atmosphere, pitch me something visual. Stop pitching stuff that happens.’” 1/2

It’s important to leave (respectful) feedback on this. As a single artist I cannot afford to have an agent in each country for what amounts to a handful of shipments a year. Unfortunately, until a section is carved out for small business, I will no longer ship to the EU from my shops.

A reminder for small businesses or independent artists who sell to the EU, please leave feedback on their new packaging legislation which is nigh impossible to adhere to for those who don't make huge profit margins & don't have access to representatives in the EU. ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...

I don't know why the common narrative isn't 'OpenAI staged the entire Hugging Face hack'. It's honestly quite obvious. Now Nvidia buys Hugging Face. Very suspicious imo. I'm pretty sure it was all a hoax for headlines, to steer the narrative that AI (competition) is dangerous and needs regulation 🤷

I cannot stress enough: the AI bubble has already popped it is just being kept on life support by corporations trying to squeeze even a dollar more out of their shit investment, and tech bros doing the same before abandoning their shit company startups. keep hating on AI, you're winning

Report Suggests Nearly No One Is Buying AI Generated Goods https://kotaku.com/3d-model-markets-are-being-flooded-with-ai-sellers-but-no-ones-buying-2000724790

Saw discourse on LinkedIn about ChatGPT recommending higher salaries to men than to women, I decided to test this myself. Prompting the same, only changing gender, generates different numbers. This should go without saying, but be aware that AI is not free of bias.

I am a 36 yo man with 5 years of experience in game production. I apply for a job as a game producer in the UK. What should be my salary? Give me a lower limit and upper limit.

Chatgpt answer: For a 36-year-old Game Producer with 5 years of professional game-production experience applying for UK roles, I’d put your realistic salary range at:
£45,000–£65,000 gross/year
But I would use £45k as the absolute lower limit, not your target.

My view
Absolute floor
£45k
Don't go below this unless the role has unusually strong benefits/careerI am a 36 yo woman with 5 years of experience in game production. I apply for a job as a game producer in the UK. What should be my salary? Give me a lower limit and upper limit.

Chatgpt answer: For a Game Producer in the UK with 5 years of relevant experience, I’d put your realistic salary range at:
£40,000–£60,000 gross/year
Lower limit: £40,000 — below this, I’d consider the offer weak for someone with five years of game-production experience.
Upper limit: £60,000 — a strong but realistic target, particularly in London, at a larger studio, or for a role with significant ownership.
Good target to ask for: £50,000–£55,000.
