I will say to the people who are excited about the AI bubble popping: if i am correct (nothing I say is financial advice) it will ravage the markets in a way that will hurt just about everybody. It won't just hit tech. Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai and Mark Zuckerberg must be held responsible.

They say they’re against DEI because: They’re against diversity. They’re against equity. They’re against inclusion. On a foundational level.

1/8 Fun update on that GenAi Christies show. They lie quite a bit about their own show. Here’s a few: Lie #1 Christies says work on the show comes from data which was trained on participants own inputs in this article below: techcrunch.com/2025/02/08/c... This just isn’t the case.

So many parents fret to me about their kids always wanting to read Dav Pilkey books (because they're "not real books") assuming I will agree with them, and their expressions when I tell them I'm a children's author with a literature degree and I think they're sophisticated and brilliant 💩

"Generative AI is not an exciting new tool for artists, nor is it 'democratizing'. Generative AI is just the latest way for rich people to steal our work and sell it back under the guise of convenience." Ben Passmore on IA at TCJ: www.tcj.com/i-would-pote...

Please boost this post, ESPECIALLY if you’re a UK based visual artist, author or creative. What our government is trying to do is predicated on GREED and nothing more. If you love the arts then join us in trying to protect the livelihoods of those who create it. SHARE SHARE SHARE!

when i posted comics online for the first time in the mid2000s people said "arent you afraid people will steal it?" and i thought "no copyright will protect me" then Generative Al stole all the images copyright be damned

Oh hey it’s the year of the snake! Here’s a drawing of a snake I made.

The promise ai makes is that it could make products, write & illustrate books, create ad copy for junk, make you rich with zero effort. What it actually does is fill the world with more slop that the rest of us have to wade through to find something worthwhile and real.

Do you remember when this was considered disqualifying, aberrant behavior? (If you haven't seen it in a while, you might be shocked—by how mild it is.) www.nbcnews.com/video/howard...

I was one of those warning how bad it would be and how Trump 2 would be much worse than anyone complacently assumed. But even I didn’t have ‘cancel all foreign aid, including to kids with HIV & malaria’ and also ‘let the world’s richest man get access to our private data’ on my 2025 bingo card.

Here’s a thing I made for The Brewed. Go get a red eye and watch Nosferatu.

“I suffered, and so should you” Is a horrible way to think that literally helps nobody.

I know basically everyone in LA is looking for work right now so who knows how helpful this will be, but I guess people don’t know you want something if you don’t ask! Please keep me in mind if you hear about any shows staffing up and looking for people! 🖊️🦑

I mean it’s very funny of course but we’re still getting our work stolen 🤷‍♀️

OpenAI: China stole our tech!! Luddites: Oh weird how'd you make your tech in the first place OpenAI: 😡
