There is a lot going on in this picture and none of it is good.

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...

Apparently it’s Do Something Nice Day. So today, do one small kind thing. Send a message. Make a cuppa. Make someone laugh. Check on someone who’s quiet. You may never know how much it meant. And feed a ginger cat. Obviously.

I think most people have at least once looked at the news and decided to try making enough food in a home garden to be self sufficient, then realized fairly quickly that it's almost impossible these days, and that if we can't build communities that share safe food, we're all screwed.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The title for the first two panels reads “dog domestication”.
The first panel shows a wolf running with a pack. The text reads “we changed form, size, personality…”
The second panel shows a chihuahua in a dog bed. The text reads “…lifestyle, instinct, our entire way of being.”
The title for the last two panel reads “cat domestication.”
The third panel shows an image of a cat outside.
The fourth panel shows the exact same cat indoors. The text reads “we went inside.”

I am tired of reading something that is very fluent, then halfway through realising that I just read a paragraph that makes no damn sense because it wasn't written by a person. Extruded prose is a consent violation. I don't know why more people aren't viscerally disgusted by its publication.

SAM ALTMAN

You are not liberating human creativity - you are strip-mining it and selling it back at a markup while calling the theft training data."
