It's the same for proofreaders and editors too. In some cases I'm now making less per page than I did 10 years ago, since it's all third-party jobs and gig work, compared with when I was working directly with actual publishers. How can you sustain a professional life like this?

This is simple, but so many others would’ve had the ego trip and let the fans cheer the mere thought of the upcoming performance. PAC was for the performance, not himself. Had no problem doing the right thing and taking the moment away to make sure Will got full cheers.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

“Maybe all of these people really do think that AI can become that powerful, and therefore dangerous. Maybe they’ve convinced themselves that’s the case because their livelihoods depend on it. It doesn’t matter because either way, they’re full of shit.” www.sfgate.com/local/articl...

This makes me remember the days when my son was going to Davis and would take the train home for the weekend, and I would pick him up at the station after work.

This one is old but not old enough to be included in the Nerd Inferno omnibus. The saddest thing about it is that it isn't just for freelancers anymore. Good luck to us all.

A four-panel comic called Cartooning Benefits Package, which depicts a shower as vacation time, a failing go fund me as health insurance, and death as retirement. Your cartoonist mileage may vary. Also works for the arts and freelancing in general, and, these days, working life in general.
