Panel 1: A girl with poofy dark brown hair, brown skin, and yellow beads holding the hair in a "space buns" hairstyle, is looking back at you while sitting in a computer chair in front of a drawing tablet. She wears a purple sweatshirt with a yellow "stitch" pattern going down the sleeves, and has apparently drawn a golden-armored knight standing on a cliff with billowing clouds and night stars in the background. She is labeled "illustrator" and says "It took me 10 hours to draw this!" Panel 2: Shen points at her with his right hand, a manically smug expression on his face and the other hand on his hip. He is labeled "comic artist" and says "HAH!! Just ONE drawing in 10 hours??" Panel 3: Shen continues speaking, pointing at himself with his thumb. He says "I'D have to get like TWENTY drawing done in that time." Panel 4: Behind the still-smug shen is a slouched, deformed, horrible beast of a man with a drawing tablet in one hand and the other hand holding the pen, and also strapped to a plank of wood for wrist stabilization. It wears only a ragged loin cloth. The neck is long and extends far forward, and the hair is wild, going in all directions. In the darkness of the face two small eyes glint. This creature is labeled "animator"

If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.
And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Reminds me of when Scott McCloud wrote of the relationship of the scriptwriter and the comic artist. Often, what is simple and concise when put into words ("and then the world has ended"), is hell to translate into artwork.
The problem here is that Red has only *Past Red*, the rascal, to blame.

Panel 1: A muscular guy with upturned hair in a tank-top, wearing a gold chain and gold watch. He is raising his left arm to gesture while speaking, head turned up smugly with his eyes closed, and saying "basically, there are 2 TYPES of men." Panel 2: He puts down his hand and look confidently ahead. He says "ALPHAS, the dominant WINNERS of the world, and BETAS, the losers." Panel 3: A girl with swirly glasses, messy hair, and a grey oversized sweatshirt has a pink "ita-bag" strapped on her shoulder. She says "What if there was a third type that could get pregnant." Panel 4: He looks at her, the confidence of his expression wavering slightly, and says "Bro I am so freakin scared of you."

Charles James Kirk, 31, died on Wednesday from a gunshot to the neck at a Utah Valley University campus event just as he was trying to deflect a question about mass shootings by suggesting they were largely a function of gang violence. He died with a net worth of $12 million, which he made by espousing horrific and bigoted views in the name of advancing Christian nationalism. The foundation of his empire was the group he cofounded and led, Turning Point USA, which is a key youth-recruitment arm of the MAGA movement. Kirk was able to launch Turning Point at the age of 18 because he received money from Tea Party member Bill Montgomery, right-wing donor Foster Feiss, and his own father, also a prolific right-wing donor. He was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct. He had children, as do many vile people.

Not liking a widely beloved game is actually kinda normal, so yeah, no probs. I think a lot of pushback comes from people that can't differentiate "I don't like it" from "this is bad actually and you all are deluded", which is more of a jump than some realize.

anyways fuck vagueposting, caffichai has been generating ai images and poorly tracing over them since 2023. here is proof. (attaches three images with no further elaboration)
I'm all for warning about AI users but I do feel like we need to be more responsible when pointing the finger. You have to be willing to present your case. This style of tumblr-callout attitude isn't helpful at all in combating the use of AI. N/A But how is that "proof"? That's just one very zoomed in screenshot of one drawing? In no way do this prove anything and honestly "no artist would draw a jar like this"? not all artists are jar specialists? Like, i'm not trying to say they're not an ai artist, i want evidence tho. Oh nahhhh if you can't see the stink of Al on these (very commonly occuring mistakes within Al-generated images), then you need to do your own research. I'm not gonna do any more of it for you, sorry. So no proof. "you have to believe me i know for a fact that i am right we need to throw stones at them" but no proof. Again, I'm not saying you're wrong, but i can't say you're right when you attack someone like this so suddenly and refuse to prove your point..

This style of tumblr-callout attitude isn't helpful at all in combating the use of AI. People are claiming to have seen them drawing live. And a lot of the posts in this thread are reaching so far they'd break their arms. That spoon and a slightly curved jar are the most compelling evidence and the compression is so horrid on the spoonโฆSorry. I'm all for shaming anyone who uses Al In fact, an artist Pitslip on here recently admitted to using Al, got no problem shaming them and muting their profile. But I need more then this. That's fine if your standard of evidence is higher than this. Leave them unblocked, keep interacting with the content. But for those who see the indications, they are free to block and report them based on their own view of these indicators. It's not really an issue of pizza topping preference though, we're talking someones livelihood and the best I'm seeing is an image so compressed there's actual tearing in it and a bunch of "Tells" that I've seen in professional animation.

Stanhill, Lancashire, 1764. Wear and carpenter James Hargreaves invents the Spinning Jenny, the first practical spinning-frame, to make the tedious task of producing cloth a little bit faster. He doesn't know it yet, but this will destroy the world. Spurred by inventions like his, the industrial revolution will transform everything -- work power, the wealth of nations. Society as we know it began here, and it wasn't great for everyone. But a group of weavers and textile workers saw this future coming. And did their best to prevent it.
"Curse you spinning jenny, you ruined everything!" The standard narrative does that LUDDITES were foolish lunatics who, in fear of technology, decided progress was bad, and started hitting it with sticks. But the truth is entire ways of life were being destroyed. Previously, skilled craftsmen were respected for the time and effort it took to do their work. The entire family usit would form a cottage industry - creating something valuable, and command a decent living. But when a machine can work 10 times faster its owner can charge less for the prodcts- craftsmen couldn't compete and were left out of work almost overnight. And as factories became a fixture of the british landscape, these now unemployed labourers often ended up working the factories that had just destroyed their way of life. Britain was the most prosperous nation in history, factory owners became extremely wealthy and influential. But the people doing the actual work saw almost none of it.
Factory work paid little, since "the machines" did "the real work" human labourers were deemed unimportant and replaceable. FUN FACT!: Factory owners preferred to hire ORPHANS since less people would notice if they were maimed or killed on the job! Now the owners quickly realized the workers might notice they did all the work for almost no pay. If they went on STRIKE or ARGUED FOR HGHER WAGES, this would threaten their tremendous wealth. In 1799, Parliament passed the Combination Act, which made FORMING TRADE UNIONS, COLLECTIVE BARGAINING, AND GOING ON STRIKE ILLEGAL. Organizing against the rich became a crime.
If you were living through it, opposing the industrial revolution wasn't techno-phobia. It was SELF-DEFENSE. The combination act forced unions underground into secret societies. And the greatest secret of all was their leader - Ned Ludd. Ned had been a folk character for years. In one version after being whipped by his master, he smashed two knitting frames in a rage. In more fanciful versions, he then escaped to the Sherwood forest, here he lived among the animals as their king. Some versions specifically call him 'Much Better Than Robin Hood'.
Happy Labor Day!
Today we're bringing you The First Union, as told by HBomberguy (@hbomberguy.bsky.social) and illustrated by Skutch (@skutchdraws.bsky.social) It's the dawn of the industrial revolution, and of the way many of us work...
