Honestly at this point if you are still pro AI in any form of creativity I will assume you have the brain worms and are an enemy of art

seeing people hit by the layoffs today who have worked in the industry for DECADES. one guy had worked on fucking STAR WARS GAMES FOR THE SNES, another had been at blizzard since starcraft.

that kind of continual experience in the industry is like gold dust, and MS are just throwing it in the bin

It’s so wrong that tweets about layoffs in the last two years have become evergreen, but here we are.

To my friends and peers who lost work, I am so sorry. Once again, here is the layoff lecture from my friend Worth.
To my WB friends,

Saying “I’m so sorry” will never properly convey how I feel watching people I respect so much lose work. If I can help, I’m happy to do so.

In the meantime, I posted this lecture on how to navigate layoffs from my friend Worth last year. I hate that it continues to be relevant.

My Oscar-qualifying sapphic short film, "AND THEN" is now available to watch! Set in Tokyo — a story of insomnia, longing, and two women who quietly fall into each other. AND THEN is a poetic exploration of connection when sleep won’t come and love arrives instead.
