Hey-- 100% of my CG life has been Studio work in VFX and Teaching.
Those of you who capture some freelance (I can do rigs if you want good, scripts if you want excellent, and models if you want crap!) where do you go to find the opportunities?

I would LITERALLY buy any phone that came out with internet and absolutely zero AI features. In fact if it had AI *blocking* features I'd buy it even faster.

Not a lot I can say about my Film industry work, but I can say:
Nobody likes AI, not workers, not _clients_, not IP holders.
The tech is discussed over lunch but used 0% anywhere in the pipelines.
Jobs are fewer, contracts are slower, as we _wait_.
It's still Wacoms, Renders, and Polygons.

If you're wondering how things are going on the internet, I just got served a several minute long commercial featuring an AI-generated Mark Carney trying to get people to sign up for financial fraud. Great stuff, YouTube.
