#DVPit changed the trajectory of my entire career back on Twitter in 2020, where I pitched THE GHOSTKEEPER for the first time and found my agent through the event. It gave me a tangible deadline to work toward with putting together sample art and comic pages. I extremely recommend participating!

Pro tip: you don’t have to comm artists to boost and support them. People claim they can’t support artists and creators because they are financially strapped, but they can still boost posts, comment, like, and in general just be supportive! It’s completely free outside of an internet connection ;)

This brought me joy.

A photo of a stovetop with a casserole and an open bag of chips right behind it. With the stove dials in the background, the bag looks like a giant excited mouth with eyes very happy about the casserole. Next to the photo is digital art recreating the photo as an actual super happy creature holding a casserole

Doing a Harry Potter collab is absolutely wild and indefensible, doing it and saying you’ll donate a cut of the proceeds to GLAAD tells me you ran the numbers and decided your profits were more important than our entire community’s survival but you feel a LITTLE bad.

This is fucking terrifying

Separate research supports the concern. Anat Perry, a Helen Putnam Fellow at Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute and associate professor of psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, co-authored a paper in Science examining how sycophantic AI responses erode users’ ability to calibrate their own judgment. The paper found that when AI systems consistently affirm a user’s position, the user’s capacity for independent evaluation degrades over time.

Joanna Stern, NBC’s chief technology analyst and author of “I Am Not a Robot: My Year Using AI to Do (Almost) Everything,” has documented the creep of AI dependency in daily life. Her reporting has shown how users begin with low-stakes queries, such as what to cook for dinner or what to wear, and gradually escalate to consequential decisions about careers, finances, and relationships. The trajectory from convenience to reliance is difficult to reverse once established.

One animator put it plainly: “You have no idea how frustrating it is to see press release after press release touting how much money our animated film made and how many nominations we got; then [the studio] turns to people who have worked here forever and says, ‘We don’t need you anymore.’” Heh.
