I love Si Spurrier comics so much. I love every time there is a dweeby man with a weird haircut in love with a giant intimidating woman, and also it just happens to be drawn by one of the very best comics artists alive or dead

I’ve got a traditional piece to do this week before I head off to parts far afield, and I’m excited about it.

i'd take it even a step further than you do: it's not that social media produces fascists, but that it produces antisocial behaviour broadly, where even good acts of protest can quickly devolve online into just another method for expressing antisocial impulses in a way that feels "safe" to do

Online sex workers are some of the hardest workers out there, having to do their own shoots, their own lighting, their own promotion, *and* their own community management, while the platform takes a huge cut 🙃

I was loudly complaining about one of these movies once, and my friend’s mom had to very patiently explain to me that these are not really meant to be watched. They’re background noise for making out on a date if you were a teenager at the time.

Social media is weird because if you give people a good feeling they will be overfamiliar with you, and if you do not do that they treat you like a human yelp page

Hey quick question: How could a study which has “not been peer reviewed” have divided researchers? Like is the division here between researchers who are paid by AI companies and those who aren’t?

context. sentiment. inferences. People seriously cannot do these things anymore. That’s why they angrily demand you spell out every joke, every reference, super duper promise you mean something only this one prescribed way. They cannot do it for themselves or tolerate the any ambiguity.

These clowns want to cede the most important decisions in comics storytelling to a fucking bot. And you know this would lead to further underpayment of artists. Boycott any book or publisher that uses this.

Walk me through what the platform actually does.

You put in a manuscript. The system spends time studying the story, including the thesis, the background, the protagonist, and the emotional beats that pay off for a reader, and produces a storyboard that gets you to roughly 60–70% of a finished product. Then an editor, the author, and an illustrator go in and shape that further, because a purely AI-generated output tends to lack soul and be generic. This is not a self-driving car. It's more like handing a Ferrari to someone who already knows how to drive.

These people seem to think that the problem in the graphic novel industry is “not enough content” when already a huge portion of published novels by humans never get a readership 🤷‍♀️

Sorry sorry I just hit an episode of Poirot where Poirot learns Inspector Japp’s wife is out of town and invites the Inspector to stay with him until she gets back, and the seismic pressure of the anime nosebleed that happened to me catapulted me head-first into a light fixture.
