Hogwarts: I'm just here to enjoy the magic

Because he was not familiar with everyone, after Neville entered the office, he found an empty seat by himself to stand against the wall.

"Is there any big plan to call so many people at once?"

"Haven't heard of it?"

"There are artists, there are procedures, there are logistics... This is not a big plan, and it really doesn't make sense."

"Are you going to enter the gaming industry? Are you planning to develop a mobile game?"

"Does our company have this strength?"

"It's hard to say, isn't crossover popular now?"

"You mean a technology company that doesn't know how to make movies is not a good construction team? That kind of thing?"

"Hahaha, almost almost..."

"Diversified development, right?"

"Tsk tsk..."

Neville listened to the chatter of the old employees.

There are also some expectations for this meeting.

The brilliant technology company he joined was the third largest company among all toy companies in the Magic City.

The main products are various high-tech toys.

Like transformers with remote control.

Toys...

I understand everything I understand.

It is a normal operation to create an animation IP in order to sell toys.

If the IP becomes popular, you can still play games.

Maybe there will be a big animated movie.

Of course, the company may also want to expand its business scope.

For example, we no longer just make children's toys, but start making some adult toys.

For example, silicone dolls or something.

It is also possible.

Looking at it this way, it is worthy of being the third-ranked company among its peers.

Quite ambitious.

Just when everyone was talking about it, the personnel director came back.

"Is everyone here?"

The supervisor started counting heads as he spoke.

After taking some time, he nodded slightly.

"Well, 28, it seems they are all available."

After ordering, he walked to the desk, sat directly on it, and looked at everyone.

"Long story short."

The supervisor's expression was serious.

“Yesterday, there was a meeting above.

The content of the meeting was mainly about human resources.

I won’t talk nonsense about the meeting process and will talk about the results.

The company is preparing to lay off workers.At least 50 people will be laid off.

You are the first batch, 28 in total.

Some of you have just joined the company a few days ago, while others have been working for three to five years.

But sorry.

You will all be fired. "

"how is this possible?!"

“Why the sudden layoffs?!”

"Supervisor, are you making a mistake? I won the Advanced Award last year!"

"Although I'm not the best, I still won perfect attendance awards!"

Because of the supervisor's words, the employees became excited instantly.

Neville was a little confused.

layoffs?

I've only been on the job for three days.

Got fired?

How did you do it?

I didn't do anything wrong, right?

It's too ridiculous.

"Everyone, calm down! Be quiet!" the supervisor shouted.

Upon hearing his words, the staff fell silent.

Looking at him, waiting for his words.

"Let me state first that you will be laid off not because you have done anything wrong."

As soon as the supervisor said something, the employees started yelling again.

"Since we didn't make any mistakes, why were we laid off?!"

"That's it!"

"Is the company losing money? Does it need to cut down on resources?!"

"That's outrageous!"

"Don't make any noise, don't make any noise, just be quiet and listen to what I have to say!" the supervisor shouted loudly, "There is nothing wrong with the company, don't think too much!"

"There's no problem with layoffs? I don't believe it!"

In response to the employee’s questioning, the supervisor tried to explain: “There’s nothing you can do if you don’t believe it.

Okay, okay, don't interrupt yet.

Talk about business!

Have you heard of xgpt? !

Um?Has anyone heard of this? "

"I know, that is the most advanced artificial intelligence in the United States." A staff member replied with a frown.

"Oh, if you understand, it will be easier to explain."

The supervisor nodded: "That AI is the most advanced technological product. It can easily draw pictures, edit and organize text, write articles, and write programs.

and so……

Do you understand?

With this thing in place, many positions are no longer needed. "

"What the hell? What's replacing us is artificial intelligence?!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Technology has not reached this level yet!"

Staff members continue to express their opinions.

The vast majority of them did not agree with their supervisor's views.

But there were also a few who remained silent.

They have seen the power of AI.

For example, AI drawing.

For a normal person, even a skilled worker, it would take a few ten minutes at the fastest to draw a simple two-dimensional beautiful girl on a computer.

This speed is also possible because there are some basic materials and there is no need to draw from scratch.

To be so fast.

then.

What about AI drawing?

Anyone who has used AI to draw pictures will know.

Spend five or six minutes filtering the keywords.

Then click Generate Picture.

If the computer hardware is powerful, dozens of finished products can be produced in one to two minutes.

Take your pick.

Even the pictures drawn by AI are slightly flawed.

It’s faster to retouch a picture than to draw it from scratch, right?

no doubt.

artist.

Especially the grassroots artists.

Compared with AI.

There is no competitiveness at all.

It is a pity.

Neville is such an ordinary artist.

As an art student.

He graduated last month and was no longer a student.

Then worked for Huihuang Technology Company.

Became an artist.

And now, he has been laid off like this?

He hasn’t even passed his internship yet!

Neville was made redundant.

The company did not treat him badly.

Let him leave with three times the salary of three days of internship.

As expected of a big company, it doesn't have the fuss and fuss of a small workshop.

If you say layoffs, layoffs will be made, and money will be given readily.

Strictly count.

Neville also made money.

Because on this third day, he sat at his workstation for a short while, and then had a small meeting in the office...

Nothing.

Salary white-collar workers, happy to congratulate you?

What a ghost!

Neville was carrying his personal belongings.

He looked up at the building where the company was located, feeling at a loss.

Although he was dismissed suddenly, he already understood it after what he had just experienced.

xgpt, or AI, is the future of mankind.

AI drawing, AI programming, AI making forms...

as human beings.

It can be said that at a lower level, there is no working soil at all.

There were several other people looking up at the building with Neville.

Neville glanced.

One is more conspicuous.

He remembered that it was the man who had just been in the office and said that he had received the advanced award.

That man seems to be from the programming department.

It is said that I usually treat my company as my home.

Staying in the company all day writing programs that modify and control toys.

However, such people were also laid off.

Neville felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Finally, it turned into a sigh.

"Fortunately, this is all fake."

wait, fake?

Neville came to his senses.

Such a complete memory...

This, him, me, you...

There was a trance in consciousness.

When he recovered again, what appeared in front of him was Jack who was full of caring.

"Neville, how are you, are you okay?"
