Annual reminder that your comic doesn't have to look like that, or that, and definitely not THAT one. You don't have to do that step if you hate it so much, be free. Be your #1 fan. Backgrounds dont have to be ghibli, you can make them fun for YOU. Don't compare yourself to a team. B&W is cool too

This shit is (one of MANY reasons) why I don't touch it. Why persist & problem solve or complete a task when you know you have access to something that can do it for you instantly? And the "free time" they get back they're allegedly using for "productivity gains"? They're just doomscrolling more lol

It’s normal (and correct) to refuse to sign your likeness or performance over to AI. Even if there’s no indication that AI will specifically be used? Even if legally you’d be protected according to all sources? Saying no and standing by that is right.

As your frequent bookseller friend, I will tell you that direct orders from a bookstore will always go farther than a bookshop dot org order, as much they are useful with their affiliate system. Your local bookstore likely can ship your book to you too, and get things bookshop won't/can't carry!

FurAffinity (a furry focused online art gallery) is looking for funding after refusing to comply with advertiser demands. And oh boy are some of those advertiser demands pretty ridiculous. (alt text added)

A post from a FurAffinity developer blog which says:

What makes this situation frustrating is that the bar for what advertisers consider "adult content" is very very low. For example they consider plus size characters, two characters hugging, and "barbie doll nudity" to be adult content, despite these being normal everyday things that are not adult at all. This is why you may see other sites with restrictions on how characters cant be posed or dressed "too provocatively."

We receive a daily list of items that they have flagged as violations and have to sort through them. If they're legitimate violations, we re-rate them. If they aren't, we don't touch them. Submissions that are not violations of our policies are still held against us.

We have had many email conversations, Zoom calls, and even an in-person meeting with representatives to help resolve this to no avail.

Reddit post by user _sodoj:
Our upcoming game was stolen and turned into an AI slop
Hello everyone,
A couple of weeks ago, we published the Steam store page for our upcoming and unreleased puzzle game, 204Snake, and today we decided to look up our game on search engines. The results were rather troubling. Alongside our actual game, we found countless links leading to a complete and blatant AI generated ripoff, shamelessly using the exact same name as our own game.
The ripoff has the same premise as our game, the same control scheme, similar level layouts and it hopelessly attempts to emulate our game's visual style. Aside from some of the rules being slightly different, one distinguishing and disgusting feature of the AI version is that it locks move undos behind advertisements.

AI-generated rip-off of unfinished Japanese indie game beats original to release, sparking concerns about safety of sharing dev progress
