Younger me took a stance. I needed to pursue my passions of Art and Videogames. Fast forward 15 years and now I'm an Art Lead for games at a company that is heavily invested in AI and doesn't seem to know what the fuck they're doing ATM. If I'm laid off, I doubt I'll be able to land another job despite a good resume and playing games remind me of work.

Sad to hear this. A close friend of mine loves drawing and works in the games industry, and is really eager to move into an art role. I've suggested he keeps his drawing as his hobby in the worry he will lose his love for it, but he subscribes to the mantra of "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." I guess it gives him hope that there is a job he can work towards that will make him happy.

I switched to the "work to live, not live to work" mantra many many years ago. I try to find the little joys in work but it's not my source of happiness.

I'm sorry to hear that. I don't want anything to do with AI, so I imagine my current job will be my last job in the industry, too. I hope you can ride out the bubble at your current place!
