        The opening credits for Secret Invasion were reportedly done (at least partially) with AI.

        How long do you think that will be once the Mouse decides it’s time to change the rules?

      Or maybe India still has some people who can be retrained from their profession of phone scammer to cheap VFX artists?

    This is fantastic news for those artists. Marvel is nortorious (and many many others) for requesting changes or scope creeping to a point that entire studios are canabalising themselves in order to stay afloat. Studios going under the literal opening day of a movie. I really hope for the best for them!

    This is what happens when you don’t have good employee protection laws. I want to see more of this happening.

    This is great, VFX teams at large studios have been under increasing amounts of crunch lately, it’s become indefensibly abusive at this point so I’m glad that theyre getting this done.
