The US will bomb your country and then 20 years later make movies about how it made their targeting computer sad

Oh, and you can't trust anything it generates. Why would you rely on a deeply broken and unintelligent chatbot to help you do anything?

NPR, could you please do a counter argument article? We need more AI-critical blogs, articles and papers out there.

Why do we have to entertain the world-destroying fascism machines? We've heard all of these arguments before. Yes, even "responsible" use is unethical. Yes, it's still bad for learning and cognition. Why not ask an actual human instead of AI for feedback? We need more human connection, not less.

It's soooo good! Enjoy (or at least as much as you can)!

A table full of wonderful flights of fancy, comic books.

If you like books and art and are in Seattle this weekend, drop by my table at Emerald City Con, read an original gun, kick an AI guy n d nutz

I really hope I can get this one OGN I wanna pitch greenlit, in part so that I can share the 17-hour-long playlist I've curated for it. 😆

Her parents had to know. They had to. Right? 😆

Young in Iran Paperback — Sequential Artists Workshop Work from 32 Gen Z creators: marvelous stories about freedom, lack of freedom, frustration, desire, hope, family, and the kinds of deeply human experiences

Now is a great time to pre-order the YOUNG IN IRAN comics anthology from @comicsworkshop.bsky.social

Sadly, I think you're spot on.

Always! ❤️

If I can sell one more of these we can meet the KRULL poster goal and move on to the next goal (which is to make more POND SCUM)!

Speaking of pond scum, here is a different Luna, and I gotta say she's pretty cool too! OC commission from this morning.

Then I take it back. Don't have a good time. Don't even have a time!

🤣 Hope you're doing well!

Have a great time, Kenny!

How to TALK to a RACIST: A Practical Guide The image is of a young black girl delivering an absolutely devastating german suplex to a Klansman.

Look at that form. Misawa would be proud. 🤼‍♂️

When I got in my Lyft, I was greeted with Usher's "Yeah!"

This isn't really a "Yeah!" kind-of morning.

How about "Sure." or "Just fine."? I'll even take an "Alright."

Gorgeous page, Len! I love how you made the page feel as fluid as the water they're swimming in. :)

It’s likely the artist behind that ECCC table paid at least

$450 for the table
$500-700 for lodging
$150 (+) for food/drink
$300+ for merch.

The financial risk is real! Be nice to the creators behind the table and even if you don’t got the $$ to spare, a kind word goes a long way.

Have an awesome time, Jim!

Let the incompetence and cruelty embolden you. If you fancy yourself smarter and more empathetic than these guys (and you are), do not let the result be despair. Make things, apply for jobs, assert yourself. If these freaks deserve a platform, money, stability... don't you? Don't you???

Off Panel and The Beat for me! :)

- don’t comment, connect. Everyone is a real person, that you could genuinely get to know.

- be very generous with compliments and enthusiasm.

- only punch up, and understand that your perception of who is “above you” is entirely in your head unless they’re in a LITERAL position of power

My rules for the internet to stay sane, as someone who works in social media for a career:

- Have a lot of grace for anyone under 21 yrs old

- The goal of most content online is views first, and any other goal is a far second

- Just because someone talks with authority doesn’t mean they have any

I hope everyone who is tabling at or just attending Emerald City this weekend has an amazing time, makes lots of money and makes great connections!

I had to skip this year's show, but will be back next year. ❤️

ECCC is upon us, and to all my colleagues, I ask you to please discuss your numbers with people in person, and online. Tell us how you are doing. Wages don't change if we don't talk about 'em openly.

Sorry I fixed it

In most instances, I wish our default mode for interacting with other people on social media would be in good faith and not cold or immediately dismissive.

The person on the other side of that interaction is a human being. And we're on here to connect with others. I know that's why I'm on here.

I don't know why every other dog on my street aggressively barks at all hours nonstop. I somehow wound up with the only chill and friendly dog on my block.
