At Comitia 153 TODAY! Find me in East Hall つ36b

Think about every recent burst of "100% automated!" tech hype. Tesla robots that were remotely run by uncredited humans. Amazon walk-in-walk-out stores that were remotely run by uncredited humans. This is also the reality of AI- "100% AI" projects are not 100% AI, because that would be embarrassing.

I went away from Bsky for two months and now my timeline is full of grilled meat and ai slop!? What happened!?

I’ll be debuting my research comic: Not a Copycat at Comitia 153 this Sunday. It’s an introduction to doujinshi and Japanese fan festivals, told through the experience of visiting Comiket for the first time. This time, it’s only in English. Sorry! I’ll be at table つ36b.

WIP watercolour about going offline. The paper grain is very visible in this photo. When finished I’ll scan.
