@mrudokas@mastodon.social @manton for 30 years i’ve been lucky that this creative thing i enjoy would also pay the bills. but i think that situation was always an anomaly. AI is inevitable correction.
like musicians and artists, i now have to separate my hobbies from my career.
it’s an uncomfortable adjustment, but i’m trying to be grateful for the 30 years i enjoyed that anomaly, rather than bitter that i’ve reached the end.

@isaiah@mastodon.social @mrudokas@mastodon.social @manton It’s being actively taken away from you by people who don’t think you deserve the success you’ve had, just like it was taken away from musicians and artists. It’s not bitterness to acknowledge or oppose the slopmongers trying to devalue real creative work.
