Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question: Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends. Make. Friends.
Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.

the big difference between procgen and "ai" is that procgen is straightforwardly a creative/authoring process like any other, whereas "ai" by its nature precludes both things. but even with procgen you can approach it from a cynical direction and fuck yourself www.joewintergreen.com/an-insult-to...

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin
Anyone who supports this is an embarrassment. "Instead of typing it out they'll generate their idea"? Are you insane? Call yourself whatever you want but you aren't creatives, that's for sure.
