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.

Comic strip.
Two women are talking.
They're recurring characters but shamefully we haven't given them names. I'm calling them A and B here. Those are definitely not their names.
panel 1
A- The secret to great sex is listening.

Panel 2
B- Nooo- that's a totally rubbish secret.
A- Yeah? What do you think it is then?

Panel 3
B- What if it's blood sacrifice?

Panel 4
B- By the full moon

Panel 5
B- And a conspiracy that goes all the way up to the king?

Panel 6
A frowns
B smirks

Panel 7
A's expression has softened.
B grins
A- Okay, that IS better than stupid listening

Panel 8
A and B fuck on an altar in a spooky temple on the full moon. A king watches in the distance.

Panel 9
Close-up on the king who carries a wavy knife, which is pretty much a confession you're about to do human sacrifice. King also has a bound man wearing underpants with him.

Panel 10
King- Can you do that somewhere else?
Underpants man- I don't think they're listening.

Comic strip!

panel 1-
some kind of motley troubadour strums a lute
troubadour- At last, the hero we've waited for

panel 2-
man in armour strikes a heroic pose
there's text over the top in a little square box, rather than a speech bubble. This is supposed to indicate that the troubadour's song continues over the top but I'm honestly not sure if that's clear
troubadour(offscreen) - A hero who dared and strove

panel 3
hero slumps.
Troubadour pops his head in, just to make thngs clear
troubadour- Initially

panel 4-
hero sits at home drinking
troubadour(offscreen) - A hero who couldn't sustain it

panel 5-
hero slouches next to a huge dragon
troubadour(offscreen) -who puts in a distracted bare minimum

panel 6-
hero listlessly stabs dragon.

panel 7-
Dragon unexpectedly drops dead
troubadour(offscreen) -but triumphs anyway.

panel 8-
Hero strikes a heroic pose over dead dragon
troubadour(offscreen) -For no clear reason

panel 9-
a bunch of people we've never seen before hoist the hero onto their shoulders. All seem happy.
troubadour(offscreen) -a hero who is all of us

panel 10-
troubadour stands in front of the hero who's now a king.
troubadour- when all of us are shitty

panel 11-
king- your music sucks
troubadour - that's 'cause I never practice

Comic strip!
panel 1
a woman  shouts "don't you see! Sex isn't sexy"

panel 2
a second woman says "what?"
the first woman replies "Like red isn't reddish"
They're in a marketplace but that really isn't relevant to the comic.
for the next three panels the exchange goes like this-
"sex isn't like sex- it IS sex. So Don't try to be sexy during sex - that's backward! Sexy is whatever you do while you're fucking"
Second woman replies "Why are you telling me this?"
In the next panel the women are fucking.
First woman also holds up a board for the second woman to use a ruler and compass on. Doing some kind of math perhaps.

next panel, the women are post-coital.
second woman- "so what? You're trying to make math sexy?"
first woman- "No! I'm trying to make sex mathy!"

next panel we see a curvaceous woman with graphs overlaid on her curves. There isn't enough resolution to tell whether the math is accurate.

next panel we see some people gawping at math lady's butt.
final panel one of the gawpers says "Is anyone else suddenly excited by algebra?"

Prince- The what?

Panel 6

Ninety years ago today, Oswald Mosley tried to march his Blackshirts through the Jewish East End. 🧵 He had thousands of uniformed fascists behind him and 6,000 police clearing the way. But the people of the East End got there first.

Stop saying “Rogue Agents”. Start saying “Spectacularly buggy, poorly written, untested code” No one describes a buffer overrun as “the code just decided it wanted to use more memory“. The “agents” aren’t “rogue”. The *programmers* are *fuckups*.

Once again - the problem isn't "ooo AI models are too scary and powerful". It's that the developers of these products are irresponsible dolts, who have absolutely no intention of changing how they behave. Stop making excuses, use existing laws and make them responsible for their own actions.

A thought about rigor in education that is applicable more broadly: rather than lowering expectations because everyone is struggling to exist, we need to make it easier to just exist so that students are better able to tackle schoolwork with intellectual rigor.

Whether it’s Benjamin Netanyahu empowering Hamas, presiding over a massive intelligence failure that let them kill 1,200 Israelis on October 7th, and then killing 74,000 Palestinians in response or Zohran Mamdani pointing out that he did this, both men have fueled their bitter feud.
