Interviewing with another lab today, send prayers/luck/vibes

[conkreetmonkey]

Me: Googles "is [career] a good job Canada" or "what can you do with a [career] diploma Canada" Source 1: [career] graduates are heavy sought after by the [field] industry, and typically have jobs lined up before graduation. Source 2: [career] graduates often struggle to find work post-graduation, and make an average of $18.00 an hour. Reddit post on r/[field]: "[career]s, I'm thinking of going to college for a [career] diploma. Is this a good idea? What are some pros and cons of the job?" Reddit commenter 1: "I regret going into this field every day of my wretched life, I work 14 hour shifts 7 days a week and live on dollar store saltine crackers, run while you still can" Reddit commenter 2: "It's a pretty decent gig, honestly. I was pulling about $70k a year to start, and there's a lot of demand for it right now." Reddit commenter 3: "What's a [career]? Where am I? Who are you people? What's an 'internet?' This isn't my house..." Reddit commenter 4: "I'm a [adjacent career] and we think you guys are all idiots and laugh at you and put thumbtacks on your chairs. Not only will you die on the streets like a dog but you will deserve it... enjoy your downvote, kid." Reddit commenter 5: "It really just, like, depends and stuff, man. No, I will not meaningfully elaborate, even when asked to by the OP." Me: *screams into pillow*

we interviewed like, literally the perfect candidate today (for another job I'm on the panel for, sadly not for my team) but also they work with Sam so I was like 'NO. I SHOULDN'T ask Sam 'hey is [name] sound?'

but because I have no boundaries instead I went into his room as soon as I got home and went 'THE INTERVIEWS WENT WELL. BY THE WAY WHO ARE THE PEOPLE WHO YOU LIKE AND HATE AT WORK.' which inevitably triggered a guessing game which. is just asking 'is [name] sound' with extra steps

(they are, evidently, as good as they seemed)

(which is lucky. already finalised my scoring so.)

You know, I wouldn't even mind a 5-day work week if they sent me home at 2:30 every afternoon like in schools. It's the fact that you can only leave by 5 pm and somehow have to fit living a life and taking care of basic needs—if you're not forgoing living a life at all—into the remaining 4 hours and we haven't even factored commuting into all this yet. Getting home from work. Going from home to meet people and do things. Where is the time?

It's not that 'adults don't have hobbies' or 'dropping all interesting parts of your personality is mysteriously perceived as 'being an adult''. It's just that when most people get to the full-time job phase, there's no time left for anything else. Adults aren't 'boring', they're just systemically left with no time or energy to give anything outside of their work.

I am beginning to suspect the reason why I like River Cartwright so much is that he starts off wanting to be a part of the Big Machine, thinking that their intentions are Good and For The People, but as the series goes on, River realizes that he would rather be looked down on by people in charge for doing the Morally Right and Accountable Thing and 100% commits to being a menace.

I have noticed btw that more often than not these days when I meet new people and they ask what I do for work, I don't say "I'm a librarian" and instead say something like "I work in medical research and evidence" or "I'm in NHS evidence and knowledge services" or something like that... I guess I don't really imagine that those sentences really help people picture my job much either, since it's just not a role people are aware of, but I guess there are levels on which I have always preferred honest bafflement to being identified with a concept that people think they understand (in ways that lead them to make assumptions that don't feel right about me).

anyway librarians of tumblr feel free to tell me im letting down the sisterhood or whatever

In case you were wondering where things are at in the film and television industry here's how post-production folks (editors, VFX, Colorists, etc) are doing. These screenshots are from The Blue Collar Post Collective's FB page (they are an International professional network for folks working in post).

This one is from a few months ago...

These are all from the past few days (from 2 separate Anon posts re "where to find jobs")...

My former post-supervisor really fucked me over and I've been unemployed for months. At this point I'm applying to jobs in grocery stores cause it's just dead dead dead out there. Winter is always the time of year you don't want to be without a film or series to work on but this just abysmal.

The shitty thing about the AI voice acting "agreement", beyond the fact that it was done without the input of the majority of people who would be affected, is that a lot of people have exactly WHY it's such a raw deal exactly backwards. It's not labor being eliminated to cut costs; it's labor being CHEAPENED even when there may very well be more of it involved.

There are lots of claims going around that AI voices are TOTALLY different from other voice synthesis we've had before because they let you just plug in a script and get the perfect read out, and that's just...not true, at all, unless you're really, really lucky. Sure, it's smoother and more intuitive work (generally) and more natural-sounding results than older iterations of voice synthesis, but there's still a LOT of specification and tweaking involved in getting it to consistently sound more like a person than a computer, let alone actually sound like a decent director might want.

In fact, one of the most effective ways to get an affect more dynamic than slightly-better-than-TikTok-TTS, is to.........have an actual human person perform it and use the synthesizer to follow along with it in a different voice!

In other words, in order for this to actually be a thing, you still need a voice actor who can give a convincing performance. And you need them to be willing to work for peanuts because their voice won't be in the final product. You need them to be willing to be denied credit because their voice won't REALLY be in the final product. But you also need them to be competent and give a good performance, because the synthesizer will follow along with them, whether they do it right or wrong. The only thing they can skimp on is things like vocal technique - you know, the way you do action scene after action scene without losing your voice by the time you're 45?

In order for this to be cheaper than just hiring a fucking actor, people in the process necessarily have to be criminally underpaid.

And yet, somehow, it's been given the go-ahead anyway!? Genuinely, fuck that.
