Looking at the profiles of the people laid off today is wild. The person who came up with the character Jonesy in Fortnite. One of the key artists behind the Fortnite Simpsons season and the current season map. A Fortnite lead who debugged the current season's rival system from his bed while fighting off pneumonia. Epic let go of some amazing talent today. And Timmy Epic is full of shit saying this has nothing to do with AI this is 100% a push to replace talent with AI. Its coming for us all guys. Any of us could be next. I gotta be honest I'm a bit scared about what the future holds. 1 year expenses is the new emergency fund for us. MINIMUM. High salaries dont mean shit when you can lose your job at any time UNLESS you are socking most of it away for when the gravy train crashes. Because these billionaire tech CEOs will crash the train youre on to add a fraction of a percent to their billions of net worth. God shit is fucked. And its a shame Fortnite is my favorite FPS. Now I feel queazy playing it End rant
