i wrote and drew this one before i decided to take a real swing at pip and gunko as a big boy webcomic, so it isn’t up on the site yet and won’t be for a while, but regardless! i drew it while dragging myself out of the lowest point of burnout and i think it’s one of the best comics i’ve done so far

sadly this is a more personally appropriate version of this meme
post that says "when I win lottery I will not tell anybody, but there will be signs" and it's all stock images of people receiving routine medical care, like a dentist appointment, an eye exam, a therapy session, and a routine physical.

He is looking to the viewer as a speech bubble beside him asks for coin.

Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

I want to draw attention to this as often as I can - not only is this *action* terrible, the intention behind it is to consolidate power and eliminate the three branches of government. The courts are already severely compromised. The power of the purse belongs to Congress.

If I deliberately “meddle” with a govt. website, presumably the government is going to make me face the legal repercussions. These AI companies should be held to the same goddamned standard: perhaps not with “time,” but gigantic civil penalties.
