AI like Sora won't just affect film & TV industry jobs, but video game production, wider 3D work, and VFX.

I wonder when the paradox is going to sink in with more people. Sam Altman and the like want to tap investors for trillions, yet they are a classic example of a Trojan Horse. Being welcomed with open arms by the very people their actions will destroy. We won't be living in a world with high stock market valuations and investors with trillions to throw around when the creative sector of all nation's economies has become a mass unemployment wasteland.
