Last post by Skoop - Today at 07:40:03 PMTrade jobs might be pretty future proof right now. Doing skilled labor will be valuable, and there will be a ton of jobs available.
Even pilot industry, people say AI will replace pilots, but with life safety at risk, there will always be a fully trained man in the loop flying airliners. There just might only be 1 pilot instead of 2.
AI will be bad for computer nerds but great for blue collar joes.

Last post by al_infierno - Today at 05:28:31 PMMicrosoft closed several more studios, including Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks. Arkane Austin was behind the huge blunder that was Redfall so it makes sense, but Tango is just baffling. Hi-Fi Rush was highly acclaimed by critics and lauded as a success by MS leadership, and they were also behind the Evil Within series which is fairly popular.

And apparently they're still not done.

To be honest, I just don't see why anybody would bother trying to break into the games industry at this point. It's clearly in the middle of a massive implosion, and if folks with decades of experience are getting laid off left and right, what hope is there for someone trying to forge a sustainable career?
