If the CEO of a soda company declared that soda-making technology is getting so good itβs going to ruin the global economy, youβd be forgiven for thinking that person is either lying or fully detached from reality...

A couple mermaids swim in a water canal, in a lane zoned off by small buoys for safety. Higher up, on the street above the canal, another of their species (they're semi-terrestrial) looks on, traveling with his human friend. This world is all new to him.

Y'all ever heard of the BITE model of Authoritarian Control? It's a great resource for gauging how cult-y something is. Also very pertinent as the political nonsense continues.

PANEL 1: Engineers gather in a small kitchen-like break room during lunch hour. One in particular (James)--a thin young man with long features-- sits at the central table, currently alone, hunched dully over his lunch, lost in thought. PANEL 2: One of his coworkers (Chelo)--short and stocky with a heart-shaped face and fluffy black hair--drops into the chair across from him with her own lunch, rolling a mandarin orange to him. Chelo: Ey, quit brooding. PANEL 3: James regards the orange like a foreign substance as he picks it up. James: I'm not brooding. Chelo: You getting enough sleep? PANEL 4: James shrugs and starts to peel the orange. PANEL 5: Chelo (wary): That's a "No?" PANEL 6: JAMES (nonchalant, continuing to peel): I just have something I'm working out.
PANEL 1: Chelo (resting her chin on a hand): Okay~. Well, get at least one eight hour night this week, alright? Rest is a part of work. James (raising an orange slice to his mouth): U-huh. PANEL 2: Chelo (earnestly): I mean it. Sleep deficit begets brain poison. PANEL 3: James (defensive, finally looking her in the eye): I KNOW, Chelo. I'm an adult. I can manage my own brain poison. PANEL 4: James (glances aside, arrogantly evasive): I'm sure you were pulling all-nighters at my age too. PANEL 5: Chelo (with a wry smile): He admits it... PANEL 6: James gets up, annoyed and far too sleep-deprived for this. PANEL 7: Chelo sighs as he leaves, thinking to herself "Dang self-destructive kids..." The young intern (Heather) has entered the panel too with her lunchbox, watching James leave. He's keeping this thing he's been working on after hours a secret, and the intern really wants to know what it is.

A human and a hydrophin (a large, serpent-like semi-terrestrial mermaid) are on a light rail train headed into the city. The human has rollerskates with her and the hydrophin is socially anxious but very curious. He's never seen or experienced most of the things he'll be exploring today.

A semi-terrestrial mermaid--late 20's in age, blue-green scales, glasses, long brown hair in a loose braid over one shoulder, a scar through his right eyebrow-- sits under a willow tree in a graveyard. His gaze is averted as he processes some complex emotions surrounding family, grief, and trauma.
Synopsis: When he was thirteen, Julienne accidentally killed his best friend's father in self-defense. Fueled by the stigma surrounding his siren-like species, the courts imprisoned him until, many years later, his estranged best friend has managed to negotiate his acquittal. Greatly changed by their lives apart, she invites him into a world outside the small-town terrors of their adolescence, where even a hydrophin raised in self-loathing may learn to be free. But Julienne wonders, isn't it too late to start over? JULIENNE is a story of first days, of learning to let go of the narratives that bind us, and of healing as the sum of a thousand small things.

Yup, they often provide a date. The data is huge tho
They are always crawling for more data but they're collecting it for the next model
There are ways to update models with newer data, but it gets expensive fast. Most of the time it's just increasing the size of the model's base prompt
LLM's are usually a good bit behind current events, sometimes years behind. It's obscenely expensive to add more data to them. If they had this detail in project 2025 it might effect some of the newest models

I'm under the impression it would have been worse. Lincoln's original post civil war plan was deporting all the black folks to Liberia. Given all the guns and military training they had at that point I don't think it would have happened, but I don't know that he would have done as thorough a job

A middle aged woman stands at a table covered in loose pine branches, describing for a tired young man holding a mug of tea, and a very excited android that the sprigs are for making decorative wreaths/garlands.

[1/2] Adopting the disaster boy.
(This is from my other main project, The Bioroboticist, about identity, belonging, and biotech cults! It's prose, but making comics helps me think while I'm rewriting the post-climax section of the book. An older draft is free to read at thebioroboticist.com!)
A mermaid and human talk with each other, one on the dock, the other in the water, but the roles are reversed. The human is the one in the water, the mermaid on the dock. It's a reunion of old friends, long separated.
In a dim lab, a robot convulses as it comes to life, covered in glowing, sparking wires, its eyes wide open but unfocused. At the back of the room, two men stand at a makeshift control center. One is much more emotional than the other. He's trying to save his friend. He needs this to work.
A cover design with an ensemble of characters: In the very front, a tall young man with a heart-shaped face and dark curly hair, wearing a red and black military uniform, reacts anxiously to something off-screen. He has four arms, and holds a helmet close to his chest. To his left stack people affiliated with the uniform--his teammates, who have their own special abilities, and his superiors who range from confident, to sympathetic, to sinister. To his right are members of the rebellion, opponents to the uniform, intense and mysterious, one of whom appears to have an ability of their own. Everything is complicated, nothing is as it appears to be, and the central young man is caught in the middle of it.
