Instead of replacing "all of work" they are pinching pennies to take ad money from Meta.
THE AI BUBBLE IS OVER!

Ich bin weiterhin nur wenige Abos von den 100 entfernt und der heutige Post hat mich weiter von dem Ziel entfernt (jemand hat sich rausgeklickt), was ok ist, weil der Witz mehr als 1 Abo wert ist.

Kickstarter United is on strike! We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform swipe for ways to show your solidarity
Why We're Striking A codified 4-day work week. We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work. Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers. We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

It also shows very clearly that the AI is stealing somewhere... even if I don't know from where exactly. All these images look the same and very similar to the train stations and trains I generated, when I was trying out AI image generation (when this was still very new and didn't know better).

I tried to find a render of a futuristic train station that I've seen before and that I wanted to use as reference for our artist. It's basically impossible to find this image again, as all search results for this query is now AI images.

"The insidious effect of workslop is that it shifts the burden of the work downstream, requiring the receiver to interpret, correct, or redo the work. In other words, it transfers the effort from creator to receiver."

20.09.2025 21:04 β π 5 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I think it's funny that more and more #AI ads are now becoming:
"No, no, our AI isn't bad, like the others..."
Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.
These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.
I'm happy that this is finally happening! ππ

My grandfather always used to say: "You young people have it much better than us... And that's a great thing."
I've vowed to become a person who believes this when I get old.
But now I'm afraid to one day have to say: "I'm sorry, we messed up. Things really were better, when I was younger."
The image that inspired my most popular comic.
