I bought a sketchboard pro to lean on, and now I love sitting and tinkering with vector art. It’s funny how a small change in tools can result in a large change in workflow.

And for the folks that *are* in AI, they don't seem to represent or communicate that work here. They tend to do that on other socials.

this worked out really well. it generated alt text for all comics, and I reviewed every one. only a couple of comics needed a manual update. used up most of my personal GHCP credits for the month.

FBI breached via ShinyHunters zero-day sextortion? Meanwhile, Citrix NetScaler zero-days patched after weeks of silent exploitation. Is your legacy infrastructure already compromised? youtu.be/AdQ_hRdL8D8?...

I think that all current platforms and protocols (including atproto) will be eclipsed by a new, AI-native protocol. This protocol will include primitives that make sense in an AI-first world. I cannot guess what this might look like.

New GitHub Copilot scenario unlocked. I'm feeding it my old comics, and it's generating alt text for all of the images. I had done this manually for some of the comics but not all. It's filling in the gaps. So far it’s doing a pretty good job.

[PANEL 1 - Sam and Freddy chatting]

Sam: I'm meeting with the writers about the new documentation project.

Freddy: Why do we need writers? Can't AI do that?


[PANEL 2 - Closeup on Sam, and they are scowling]

Sam: Where do you think AI gets its writing from?

and the original trash can is from outside the building

[PANEL 1 - Threddy outside, talking to a trash can, where Freddy is located.]

Trash: Come in, there's plenty of room down here.

Threddy: What the heck is this.


[PANEL 2 - closeup of trash can, showing ladder.]

[PANEL 3 - Threddy and Freddy in the conference room located at the bottom of the ladder. It's a photo of a Microsoft conference room.]

Threddy: There is a conference room inside of a trash can. How is this...possible?

Freddy: You don't know many raccoons do you.

I'm starting to catalog the old Threddy comics. In the early days I would use photo backgrounds from campus. I just noticed that many of the photo backgrounds are from a building that I currently work in. 😆 Which is interesting because I've worked in a like a dozen buildings.

there’s always at least one person who accidentally stays on the call after the meeting ends and makes the recording like 4 hours long
