ChatGPT is adding the signatures of real New Yorker cartoonists to its AI-generated images. So far, I've found the signatures of more than 15 contributors. "It’s slop, and unlike the other slop that I’ve encountered, this is slop that’s pretending to be me." www.niemanlab.org/2026/10/chat...

Left: A cartoon generated by ChatGPT and signed with Emily Flake’s signature that was posted to a Reddit forum in June. Right: A real Emily Flake cartoon published in The New Yorker on August 20, 2026 and licensed via The Cartoon Bank.

Hey folks, this is important. Please repost and mention any author you know that would be interested. I'm building a new site to help people publish online their work of novel, poetry or comic. People will be able to monetise or not their work, and the site won't make a difference between them.

Meta has enabled Muse to build extensive and ever-growing profiles on the orbit of people in a user’s life. Based on user input but also “publicly available information.” Whether that means a web search, Facebook’s own extensive data, or buying data broker info…we don’t know? And we can’t opt out.

“On average, we found that employees do become more productive when you let them work from home at least some of the time,” said Mang. “First of all, they become more productive because they actually generate more output per hour.”

The ability to generate more output could be as a result of enhanced employee well-being from reduced stress, increased happiness and enhanced job satisfaction, all positive outcomes of working from home, according to Mang and Anwar’s research article.
