Oh yeah, that would be really ideal. I occasionally back out of sharing something *because* I can't get a good preview image...

Oh, yeah, there are lots of good ones out there!

My guess would be mid to late '70s...

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.

That’s a good thought. Thing is, the black box is supposed to be a photo I added (rather than a link preview). Can you have a photo and link in the same post?

That big black box is supposed to be a photo. Does everybody see a big black box or is it just me?

Here’s the last of Bob’s latest trilogy of titles: Low Budget Funnies #12. Not many mini comics reached these heights. Locating a full set could take some serious hunting and cash, but thankfully you can grab onto this edition for a mere $2. Contact Bob Vojtko via messenger on FB.

When I'm not drawing backgrounds on Beavis & Butthead or spending time with my kids, I've been known to draw comics. #comics #kidcomics #kurdles #animation

This is a one page comic from the Kurdles featuring a stuffed bear named Sally and Pentapus, a 5 legged, walking cephalopod.

I've been going through a bit of a rough period for a while. If I owe you a message, a letter or anything else, I'm sorry about that. I don't expect to be on social media much for a while but will be back at some point. I'm okay, just working to get out from under the mountain. Thanks, everybody.

Since you don't want to hear "Stop using it because of unethical mistreatment of artists and vast waste of resources", I'm not sure what else there is to say. If that isn't enough then I don't know what to tell you.

Rick Bradford @poopsheet.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

My priorities are with artists. Yes, I'm "frustrated" about artists being abused in this manner. I've addressed priorities and solutions. The first step for anybody, of course, is to find a reason to care.

Rick Bradford @poopsheet.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

It'll go away if people stop using it. Capitalism.

Rick Bradford @poopsheet.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

Did I scold somebody? The reality is most people don't understand the ethical issues with gen AI. So bringing it to their attention is the first step. But there are also many lawsuits currently in motion and that's probably going to be the ultimate solution.

Rick Bradford @poopsheet.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

Imagine publishers taking anything they like from online and publishing it for profit. It's essentially the same thing except they get to hide who they're stealing from. Obviously, "copyright free" libraries are irrelevant. The vast majority of the internet is not copyright free.

Rick Bradford @poopsheet.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

Most artists aren't happy with every work they have online being used to bastardize new content for the financial benefit of billionaires and corporations who profit from the theft. Most artists need that income themselves.

010

Rick Bradford @poopsheet.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

In theory, yes. But the reality is that it needs a tremendous amount of data to do what it does. Most (all?) artists would never have enough of their own art to make it work. But Gen AI 100% pulls from art scraped without permission or compensation. Always. That's literally the reason it can work.

000

Rick Bradford @poopsheet.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

But I didn't say anything about blackballing, only that I wish they wouldn't use it.

000

Rick Bradford @poopsheet.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

The work was stolen from artists regardless. The tremendous resource usage (water) happens regardless. Apart from serious ethical issues, the problem is that it perpetuates wholesale theft from artists. All for the benefit of billionaires and corporations.

In the NYT, here are the two reports directly beneath the news of two Guardsmen being shot: Trump agents deporting the spouses of citizens and Trump agents arresting folks without warrants. Don’t tell me Trump and his aides aren’t trying to incite violence to justify martial law.

I cannot stop laughing. This is so indicative of what's wrong with these AI people and how they view art He ran into a wall where the "make art" button wasn't satisfying because it wasn't actually making good enough art, and instead of trying new things he just requests a stronger button
