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!

Foreign tourists to Japan love staying in traditional ryokans, with some inns saying inbound travelers now comprise 90% of their business. However, foreigners are less enamored of traditional Japanese food, leading some ryokans to stop offering meals at all. buff.ly/fppu8ni

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 have a near visceral dislike of the "Ghibli-esque AI" Ghibli is about painstaking craftsmanship. Of animators, actors and more spending *years* to create something that moves you across the spectrum of human emotion Go watch "The Boy & the Heron"/君たちはどう生きるか before using cheap tricks

How was I planning to play Monster Hunter Wilds but ended up making Caramel Pudding instead?? (2/2) #viensart

4 panel comic. In the first panel there is a bowl of salvaged eggs. I was texting my mom on what to do with the eggs. She suggested caramel pudding, omelette, scrambled eggs or french toast. In the 2nd panel, I decided on caramel pudding while beating the eggs, with milk and sugar. In the third panel I was making Caramel. In the fourth panel I whine about the microwave method didn't work and decided to steam the pudding batter. The whole process took 3 hours.

Real photos of the completed caramel pudding in a pyrex container and a bowl of scooped up pudding.

A 2 panel comic. In the first panel, the egg carton landed on the floor with a loud crack. Cracks can be seen on the egg shells. In the second panel, I looked down on the floor speechless.

Disclaimer: This is not to insult Muslim women, I live in a Muslim majority country and many Muslims are conservatives. Conservative women are still stuck in patriarchal cycle and have the tendency to downplay sexist issues. So this is a jab at them for not recognizing their privilege.

I did some quick reading regarding this. sahih al-Bukhari 7099 is accepted as true, however there is a historical context behind it. At the same time, I also found that the story of Queen Sheba is not strong enough to refute against the Hadith? (Responding in good faith)

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..
