My bangs always end up an uneven mess because the only time I dare to cut them is when the length annoys me enough to longer care about how the result looks.

Same with the "AI is going to end humanity"-crowd. If you really believed that you would be bombing data centers, not buying Nvidia stocks.

The tech industry's AI obsession makes so much more sense once you realise it's basically just a way to turn all computer use into a subscription. The use of AI is a slight of hand they needed to implement because no one would otherwise agree to pay per word when writing an email.

I was disappointed when I heard he was working with Ben Sharpio, but the reality is way worse than "old actor has bad politics."

It's lucky I'm allergic to all kind of online games, because with my love for repetitive tasks that make numbers going up I know Runescape would have been a massive problem.

I leave my comic's fate to the Webtoon recommendation algoritm and hope for the best, which isn't ideal but at least less painful than "hustling". I know some creators have achieved massive readerships through TikTok and I admire their drive,but trying to sell my work made me despise what I created.

Going through old episodes for some references when discussing my colouring methods on Patreon and I'm getting whiplash from the intense cringe of seeing some old art to actually being impressed by some panels.

I genuinely mean this. I cannot imagine a more bleak dystopian notion than the idea of all art being turned into slop designed to coddle my exact perceived intentions. The point of literature, film, music, and art is to be exposed to the interior lives of others. Who are these people.

I don't think we should ask if AI has a consciousness, but rather focus on the more pressing issue of whether or not AI-users have a soul.

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

This criminal has somehow managed to chew on both door handles and picture frames, on top of short-circuiting the whole house by gnawing on a cable, so she should under NO circumstance be trusted to behave.

Owning demanding pets like parrots is actually a great idea when you have periods where your single brain cell malfunctions, because there is always need for out of cage time with the very important (and very passive) job of Watching Them to Make Sure They Are Not Destroying Everything™

I know most of you guys don't go on the other app but the pope posted an anti AI/ pro artists statement yesterday, and the ensuing cope and memes is really funny
Pope Leo XIV
@Pontifex

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.2016: I will never fight a holy war

2019: Pope Leo I am ready launch me towards the nearest data centersome AI guy saying he makes christian children's books with AI asking the pope if that is ok then and someone posting a meme react with the pope holding a baseball bat saying 'did I stutter'

I feel so bad for all indie devs trying to market their games by posting about its development, only to have their idea shamelessly copied and regurgitated as AI slop. How are you supposed to build an audience if revealing anything about the game means copies will be live long before your release?`

If I do nothing but post panels from my upcoming story once it's finished, I can't be blamed because the amount of colouring I have had to do (and still have left) is likely to be the end of me.

The whole "Let the AI handle important tasks for you!" is a prospect with no appeal to me as an individual that needs to double check if the key fob *really* locked the car.

The GTA 6 Collector's edition is so funny to me because the items you get strikes me as the kind of filler mishmash you get when placing second or third in an online competition where the flashy price for first place ate up 98% of the budget.

Since today is an International Day Against Trafficking, we wanted to talk about ethical production of art & merch. All our projects are co-led by a trafficking survivor, so this is really important to us! We also hope this inspires you to follow these guidelines in your own art too. 🧵
A graphic showing digital mockups of the merch from the Moments of Euphoria project. Text reads, "Ethical merch production: tips for creating merch without forced labor and negative environmental impact. Tip 1: Search printing companies for 'forced labor' and 'modern slavery' policies. Tip 2: Ask companies directly if they avoid forced labor. Tip 3: Consider environment-friendly alternatives (paper merch, paper sleeves, wooden pins). Tip 4: Buy local whenever possible! Share to help other artists create more ethical merch!"

Some of my favourite resources about comics making! smallpress.scot/articles/how... I kept answering Qs or doing talks where I rec'd resources or gave out PDF guides, & wanted to make them more publicly accessible. So now they're up at @smallpress.scot 👍 Here's the pic version

I'm convinced every single use case for these things are born from a lack of basic human decency.

Saramago: Human decency is a fragile thing when placed with a situation with no accountability. But even in the darkest time, there will be kindness and cooperation. Goodreads Dude with an everyday carry kit: If they were only a bit more resourceful they wouldn't need to rely on others.

If you ever feel bad that someone don't like your work, know that a dude left a one-star review on Nobel laureate José Saramago's book Blindness because the characters weren't self-sufficient survivalists...in a story written to explore the cruelty and indifference towards the truly vulnerable.

Learning about her Charlottesville lore and seeing her tweet about "being pissed that her livestream was cut off" has really hammered home that she is not reporting on social media and its dangers like she wants; she is the prime example of what its aftermath looks like.

Any true crime involving dramatizations or "re-enactments" is a No for me as I don't need (or want) to "see" the crime take place. To me such things feels like fictionalising reality rather than making it more real, and thereby transforming it to entertainment.
