Not even sure where they're posting them, or if they're monetising them or just running fake/bad cartoons with real signatures to trash the reputation of the cartoonist, but it is a clear breach of copyright, at least. I ended up getting that guy who AI-altered my cartoon suspended from BlueSky.

The first promotes “Comics, Caricatures, Cartoons: A Workshop” and features headshots of cartoonist Cathy Wilcox, James Hillier (Nordacious), and artist/graphic novelist Safdar Ahmed. The second image introduces the three speakers, describing their work across political cartooning, pop-art and satire, activism and visual storytelling.

Exclusive Brethren leader calls
Jews 'wicked', 'infidel' as Liberals remain silent
By Michael Bachelard and Sherryn Groch
September 26, 2026 - 5.00am
The world leader of the Exclusive Brethren church, which ran a covert campaign supporting the Coalition at the last federal election, has described Jews as evil, malicious infidels who are unable to ever atone for the sin of killing Jesus.
Leaked church records spanning more than two decades reveal Bruce Hales, the church's leader and
"Elect Vessel", repeatedly preaching to his 56,000-stong global flock that Jews are beyond redemption.
"The poor Jew, still in the darkness of Judaism, trying to atone for the things they've done wrong; their lies and their iniquity, and their wickedness," Hales, the Brethren's "Man of God", said in 2009.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

I do that too! I read the conclusion sometimes then see how they arrived at it, especially if I suspect it will be a waste of time to read the whole thing.

These campaigns are used on all of our media and institutions, and our leaders don’t know how to say “if you don’t stop wasting our time with your vexatious complaints, we might stop giving you the benefit of the doubt in our coverage and start exposing these influence campaigns.”
