I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

I gotta wonder, when Daniel Krauss was writing his stirring epic about sons and fathers and guilt and trauma and spiritual awakenings within the bone-breaking stomach of a whale, did he ever think “hot damn they’re gonna make good popcorn buckets out of this”

But...why? The whole reason I love to do fantasy baseball is because of the process of trying to create and maintain a team for a full season. What's the point of having AI do the parts that are the most fun?

It goes both ways. Each must be earnest, willing, with the other in mind. Only in doing so can the other feel trusted. Then we, in turn, can feel the same and vise versa. A very important Clone Wars moral. #StarWars

I visited Oak Hammock Marsh this early today to watch the sunrise and morning goose flyout, and later visited the final bird banding session of the season there. And what luck – they caught a merlin! #birds

It was so refreshing how there was a lot of practical effects for the movie. Rey’s instant bread, those creepy eyes watching BB-8, the little metal-pecking vulture that was an obvious puppet, and Unkar Plutt himself. These are small things, but I still remember them.

Oh neat, so the U.S. copyright office is feeding submitted books to the slop machine to test their authenticity, and as always it decides "yes, this is my slop" even when it isn't, because the slop machine is an incestuous ouroboros with itself. Glad it was resolved in this case but fuckin yikes

But your reason for doing so will be a huge deciding factor... Because if the only reason you want to learn is to be skilled and praised, you will have an absolutely miserable time You need to enjoy the process, and get fulfillment out of it to some degree! If you don't enjoy it, then don't do it!

Because once again, absolutely ANYONE can learn to draw! Anyone. People without hands and limbs have learned to draw. Many artists struggle with crippling depression, anxiety, executive dysfunction... Even with challenges, it is 100% attainable with the right amount of effort and practice.

Something to remember if you're a new artist, or someone curious in getting into drawing: WHY do you want to learn to draw? Do you have a story to tell? Do you want to participate in a fandom? Do you wanna make gifts for people? Do you simply want to flex a skill? This is important to define

Mouthbreathers like this guy are just being willfully obtuse about what "better" means in this context and think it means "perfect on a technical level", because their idea of good art is why all triple A games are hyperrealistic HD stylistically samey slopfests that portray everything literally

Transcript

Panel 1

Olivia and Gustopher are at the library. The Library is having a special event for books that have been banned in the past. Dora the librarian is stacking books with titles like "BOOK", "Boogers", "Tales", "Can you", "read this" and "Word". Olivia has a great interest in forbidden knowledge and has been browsing what's available. She's found a book called "Salt Box" and has an important question for the librarian.

Olivia: Miss Librarian! Why was this book banned?

Dora: Vulgar Language.

Panel 2

Dora makes a shocked expression and holds her hands to her face. This is the only way she can express how depraved the book is.

Dora: The word "butt" is used.... FIFTEEN TIMES!

Panel 3

Dora looks down to the children to gather their reaction. Internally, Gustopher is wondering if Dora meant "but" with one "t" or "butt" with two. Olivia immediately assumes it's the latter.

Behind them is a poster promoting banned books week. There is a cartoon book that's smiling and saying "I'm forbidden!" He's booky the banned book. He was specifically banned for being made using the darkest of magic. He's also kind of rude.

Panel 4

Olivia is excited about the book. This leads Gustopher to assume that "butt" was indeed spelled with an extra "t".

Olivia: Now I have to read it.

Dora: Oh noooo... I'll help you check it out.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

One other regulation I'd really like to see is forcing AI companies to get rights to use material as training data, and a blanket ban on offering models that were trained on data that they did not get the rights to, or which were trained on models that used data they didn't get the rights to.

The fact that Coyote Vs. Acme both managed to be somewhat of a box office success after all it went through really is proof that execs do not know anything about what the audience wants from films. And I'm glad it was one because it deserved to be since it was just great.

There is a bleak sort of pleasure in telling people who bring up AI in casual conversation, “Actually, I’m one of the authors AI stole from. Not an exaggeration. The judge ordered them to send me a check.” It hits them different when it’s a real person saying it.

Spooky bird stories. My Halloween comic from 2024.
A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??" In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!". In panel 3, A screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!". In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".
