I think most artists hit a point where they’re like, well if I can’t be the best artist, I shall be the most ME artist.

My father died today. Mixed feelings.. Last week I gave him a chance for our story to have a happy ending, but he didn't want it. He never changed, he never apologized, and now he never will. Atleast my comic album about him got itself an ending. No need for condolences.

Reminder: If you use generative AI for *any of your writing tasks* you are a Slopper not a writer and should be ashamed of yourself. The end.

I find that there’s usually a direct line between people who habitually post unattributed artwork and AI boosterism. Like, if they already act like images just appear out of the ether and have no provenance, they’re also very likely already openly hostile to artists.

Those ppl have never read a single webcomic

Sloppers fuck off. If you can’t do it yourself maybe learn to be happy as the audience www.sonnyross.com/shop/aisucks

The fact that 30% of our stock market is wrapped up in “help-kids-kill-themselves” technology seems to be an important datapoint in the evolution of late stage capitalism.

I cannot wait for the death of AI

Let's make AI jealous. Write what Al can't touch. Humans can think with their heads, hearts, and bodies. Try moving your hands. It's fine if your mind remains a jumble. Ideas scattered across the paper. Sometimes they connect by chance, and something new is born.

Mamdani: "We believe in standing up for those we love. Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many Black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job ... your struggle is ours too."

Had to share this from twitter just because

Last chance to turn it off. On Monday, November 3rd, Microsoft will start using your LinkedIn data for AI training. And remember, you're opted in by default. To toggle it off 👉 Account - Settings & Privacy > Data privacy > Data for Generative AI Improvement.

If you won't hear from me for a while, it's because we failed to escape our current flat before they begun renovating the elevator.. We share two walls with the elevator shaft. Been waking up to loud drilling this week. It goes on for hours. It's driving me insane..

AI:sta sen verran, että ihmisen luovuus ei ole kiusallinen ongelma josta pitäisi päästä eroon.

Mitäpä jos Tampereen kaupunki kieltäytyisi kaikesta tekoälypaskasta. Kaupunki voisi panostaa sen sijaan palveluihin mitkä eivät tuhoa ympäristöä, eivät riko tekijänoikeuksia ja eivät tee kaikista palveluista suoraan huonompia. Käykää vastaamassa tähän todella lyhyeen kyselyyn:

On tää saatana käsittämätöntä, että olemme ylittäneet vaarallisen globaalin lämpötilan +1,5 astetta, mutta mediaa tai päättäjiä ei kiinnosta lainkaan. Nykyisen elämämme perusta on tuhoutumassa, mutta puhutaan vain niitä näitä päivänpolttavia. Media ja päättäjät ovat epäonnistuneet täydellisesti.

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

Hupsista vaan, on se kumma miksei kukaan suomessa tykkää voittoa tavoittelevista tapahtumista!

"Everyone is doing AI" doesn't matter when there's no consumer demand for it. Slop is slop. Meanwhile quality artists pull the numbers ✌️

"Käräjäoikeus katsoo perjantaina antamassaan tuomiossa, että aktivistit eivät syyllistyneet rikokseen pysäyttäessään hakkuiden etenemisen Stansvikin metsässä syksyllä 2023. Käräjäoikeuden tuomion mukaan aktivistit toimivat pakkotilassa." #hyvätuutiset

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

Terveisiä tokasta Tampereen sarjisiltapäivästä! Hui miten huikea määrä osallistujia, kiva kun kävitte! 👋🎃🍂 (Vaikutti ihan toimivalta ratkaisulta tuo Sampolan kirjaston Ritva-sali, joten laitettiin jo uusi varauspyyntö torstaille 4.12. (marraskuulle meillä oli jo muita kiireitä.))

Niin kerta. Tekoäly ei sovi tiedonhakuun jos asiasta ei tiedä itse mitään.

Good comic, I just dislike people calling AI generated images "art" and wish people stopped insulting art by calling it that. Call it what it is, AI images, or even slop. There's no art in AI, except all the stolen art fed to it.

Sarjisiltapäivän toinen tuleminen torstaina 23.10. klo 15-18 Sampolan kirjaston Ritva-salissa! Sarjisiltapäivä on tamperelaisille sarjakuvantekijöille ja harrastajille matalan kynnyksen tilaisuus kokoontua kasvokkain juttelemaan, piirtelemään ja verkostoitumaan. Saapumisohjeet ja lisätiedot alla 👇

I love disabled people who aren't able to work/cannot work/don't desire work, can't do things they love as much cuz of pain and fatigue, who need so much help with everything, those who have trouble remembering, and those who can't learn things well. we/y'all deserve better.

it’s just science: the assholes are doomed!

“Fuck AI” — Guillermo del Toro 🎥 Vanity Fair

"i hope this site doesn't end up like the last one :(" Hope has nothing to do with it--DO YOUR PART! Twitter & Truth Social are dying. Their users are used to farming outrage for engagement. Don't give them any! 🚫 Don't argue with them! 🚫 Don't quote them! ✅ #BlockAndMoveOn

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once. And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

It's funny how every new technology device that we buy now. The first thing we all have to do is look up how to turn off AI. What a future we are in

Anti-AI stickers for tomorrow, see you at Turun Sarjakuvafestivaalit!👋

See you there! Come get some zines or handmade anti-AI stickers for free!

Climate change is happening measurably faster than even recent models predicted, and the response of an increasing number of powerful people is to call it a hoax. We are dying of stupidity and greed.

Anti-AI stickers for tomorrow, see you at Turun Sarjakuvafestivaalit!👋

printing some last minute stickers for tomorrow..

a breakthrough in tech

Yep. I hate that basically everything you see online now has to be looked at with even more scrutiny than before. It was bad enough before with videos where people obviously faked their "candid" moments. With genAI thrown into the mix, it's even worse.

making a bunch of new handmade stickers against AI, you can come get some from Turku Comicfestival tomorrow! (They're free, but you can tip if you want! :-) I just want to see these spread around places!)
