Hot dang this video essay hits hard, is well researched, and aligns so well with what I think ails this world.
I feel that now, more than ever, solidarity of the 99% will truly be one of the few things that can fix this absolute mess of a techno feudal-ish world.

This is anthropomorphic BS proposed by OpenAi and is not even remotely technically close to addressing the (many) issues) LLMs and GenAi models have.
OpenAI Realizes It Made a Terrible Mistake
OpenAI claims to have figured out what's driving "hallucinations," or AI models' strong tendency to make up answers that are incorrect.

1. Show your skill set in your portfolio, but make sure to give prio to what they are looking for in the offer. For example, don't give the spotlight to splash art and final renders if they look for developmental concept art. Throw in 1 or 2 pieces of that if you want to let them know you can do it.

2. If you have any pieces of work where you collaborated with other departments, include it along with the finals. Art directors love to see those, cause it shows your disposition and experience solving problems and how you empower other's work to make everything better.

3. Show variants and processes. Iterations, poses and, if you had to make corrections based on feedback, try to include a small note with that feedback and how it looked prior to the changes. It shows your willingness to adapt your work to the design needs and makes you look approachable about that.

these are far and away the /BEST/ anatomy books out there, this is all you need. They break it down in bite-size, easily-memorize-able chunks.
If you want to get better at anatomy, these are it and they're like $15 a pop too

reminder that if you are interested in drawing people and want to get better at proportions and anatomy, I can't recommend enough the MORPHO line of reference books - I have these, as well as the larger in depth skeletal/muscle reference one, and they are absolutely stellar resources
