When we expressed that we wanted to pursue art we used to be told there is no future in that particular field. But the machine that's scraping from artists' works is the one they believe has a future. #viensart #createdontscrape

A 2 panel comic strip titled FUTURE

The first panel says THEN... A man is asking a child who is holding a sketchbook, WHY DO YOU WANT TO BECOME AN ARTIST? THERE IS NO FUTURE! WHY DON'T YOU GET A REAL JOB?

The second panel says NOW...

The same man who is older now says I'M SELLING A PROMPT WRITING COURSE!

Α.Ι. IS THE FUTURE!
Another character at the back is overpraising the person!

I don't fear replacement, I fear humans losing the love of doing things for themselves. Why draw? Why ask questions? Why write? Because it brings joy. Because creating, putting forth effort, doing things, is what makes us feel alive. If we turn to machines for all of that, why live?

LLMs work by running statistics on existing data. So, like, if EVERYONE stops researching & innovating, instead just using AI, then that's it: the end of progress by definition, since we'll just be recycling existing data and feeding it back into the models. That's depressing.

My students are shown regularly how badly AI answers questions that they know the answers to. The problem is, if you’re ignorant, you don’t know that it’s wrong. (But it sounds like what they think an educated person sounds like.)

new print dropping for CAFKL ;D

A picture of two Japanese school girls wearing traditional sailor uniforms. The girl on the left wears short hair, loose leg warmers and is smiling cutely while holding a menacing baseball bat. The girl on the girl has longer hair and is winking at the viewers, wearing a 'sukeban' styled outfit. They're standing against a yellow background, with nefarious accessories behind them: a first aid kit, a spray can labelled 'fire' and a gasoline canister. A red halo circles the two girls, with text that reads "support your local girl gang"

I had this unpleasant experience 2 years ago and last weekend I saw a similar booth design. So I'm just sharing do's and don'ts on how to design your booth at artist alleys (ideally). Feel free to suggest others ideas! #viensart #artistalley #artistbooth #doujinbooth

a 5 panel comic strip. first panel depicts my fox mascot trying to get attention from a bother behind a booth. but their wall is too high they didn't hear me. on second panel I attempted to call them again. third panel, I stood there in silence. fourth panel veins popped out of my head. on the fifth panel, I walked away furiously from the booth.

2 panel comic strip. the top panel depicts a poor booth design where the window is too high that you can't see the boothers and the boothers can't hear the customers calling them. the panel below depicts three ideal booth designs. 2 designs have windows low enough for boothers to interact with customers. the third one is similar to the top design but one of the boothers is standing and they're more visible..

When Muslim women talks about their rights. Translation in alt text #feminism #muslimfeminists #IslamicFeminism

A hijabi woman says that she is a feminist who fights for women's rights in Islam, a red arrow points to a man who tells her no need to be a feminist to fight for women's rights. Islam is enough. The red arrow points to another hijabi woman who says she's not a feminist and she fights for women's rights in Islam. A red arrow points to another man who calls her a feminist. Another red arrow points back to the feminist woman.

Coincidentally this is one of the main reasons why AI art will go nowhere. There’s no passion behind it, no drive, no will. Saying AI art is “soulless” is a cliche, but it’s true. You will never sit in front of ai art for hours pondering what the artist meant behind it.

I make video essays about Star Wars and Trek and shit; not because it’s meant to start a revolution or present deep communist theory, but because if you use it as an entry point for leftist thought (like how outrage merchants use as a gateway for the far right), it can be a potent start for people.

It frustrates me when people reduce my Star Wars video to “auteur theory is fascist.” I never say that. I use SW to discuss how capitalism strips art of meaning to glorify (oft cis white) visionaries, reflecting how neoliberalism’s focus on individuals aligns well with authoritarian fascism.

A comic from 2018. The "gender war" online discourse often looks like this. #viensart #misogyny #sexism English translation in alt text.

3 panel comic strip. The first panel depicts a man saying misogynistic things, while other men laughs. 2 women looks disgusted and 2 other men just smiled and kept quiet.

The second panel depicts the women insulting men. The men who were laughing earlier broke into pieces. The two men who were quiet earlier cleared their throatz.

The third panel depicts the two quiet men finally saying that gender wars is immature, and men and women are the same. The two women rolled their eyes and thought now they want to say something.
