Maybe I'm in the minority here but if people who support AI are being shamed into silence then it's working. The shame is working as intended. The left's biggest problem is that it's afraid to hurt the feelings of folks who need to have their feelings hurt. Let them experience introspection for once

After being online for about 30 days, Hoyo are shutting their AI desktop companion down and it is being removed from the Steam store. LO, and may I add, L.
According to the official schedule, at 3:00 p.m. on August 27, the product will be updated to ar offline version, while functions that depend on online services, such as "Write a Letter" and
"Upload MIDI," will be disabled.
At 3:00 p.m. on August 31, "BSide: Olivia Lin" will be removed from the Steam store, and its servers will officially shut down. The offline version will retain functions such as piano performance and animated desktop wallpapers, which will remain usable even afte the servers are shut down.
From entering Early Access on July 13 to announcing its shutdown on August 11, "BSide Olivia Lin" had been available for less than 30 days.
Prior to this, miHoYo had spent nearly a year laying the groundwork for the character "Lin Li.
In August 2025, the Bilibili account "** Fa Olivia posted its first piano performance video.
The account continued to post performance-related content afterward, and in March this year, it began releasing videos of activities sucl as reading and replying to letters.It is worth mentioning that not long ago, Anuttacon, co-founded by Cai Haoyu, also permanently shut down its Al companion product "AnuNeko." This perhaps once again demonstrates how everyone is rapidly experimenting and making mistakes in the process of exploring Al, in order to find a more suitable path.
Although "BSide" has now been confirmed to be shutting down, game companies such as miHoYo will likely continue exploring Al.

Word of mouth is basically the only way small team projects can gain any traction. People hate ads with a passion, and ignore creators when they pitch their own work. But people will give something a chance when a person they know says they like something

I'd recommend to anyone with a webcomic to just get their own website if you can. The online landscape changes so fast in its ability to dick over small artists that having your own pernament base that's known to your audience is important.

Your occasional reminder that there are places to do this for free or minimal $$. Neocities, for one, is currently great for this. I personally use the code provided by rarebit.neocities.org for all of my comics. Cartoonist Coop also has great resources like this vid: youtu.be/cMuKaDJ5rq0?...

I made the comment "I'm back with cherry tomatoes" when I was on a call and bringing back some snacking tomatoes and someone said it was like getting back together with an ex and then I drew it and this is it.
Bill announcing "I'm back with cherry tomatoes" and he has his arm around a tomato-themed dog . Like he has green hair like the top of a tomato. He's red like a tomato. That is the joke I think. Is this funny? I hope so.

The last time I researched this, I discovered the timeline "sport is open to all; woman wins; sport is immediately closed off to women; women's league is eventually formed years later" is almost universal. Women's leagues were overwhelmingly created *strictly* to protect the egos of men.

So if I'm interpreting this correctly, the suits either went "the kids love AI! Make sure to put that we used AI in the slide" or the suits used AI to make the slide. It's fun that the jobs that AI could actually replace are the ones that never will be.

I have no clue why it was on that slide or who put it there, and every member of the crew I worked with is 100% against AI. Every aspect of the animation is handcrafted by real artists and I hope that people don’t use this slide as a reason to detract from how much love and labor went into the film.
