AI is NOT inevitable. Keep not using it. Uninstall Copilot from your computer. Refuse to use programs bogged down with it. Complain loudly about it when they shove it into the programs you use. We can starve the slop machines.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

What I'm doing now, but without panicking about my income the next month, which would mean fewer spoons wasted on panic and guilt & indecisiveness & more on comics and stories & actually having multiple comics update more than once a week
Ahh~the dream
Ahh~the dream
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

I miss having ad income a lot but I don't miss advertisers who find ways around blocks to slip in pop-ups and sound ads.

I’m not launching any Black Friday things tomorrow because it’s my son’s eleventh birthday and I’ll be focusing on that.
But check back with me on Monday for my annual holiday sale, which will include commissions! 😁

It varied wildly in the Oracle for Hire years. Star Power chapters were 24 pages. Snout’s wordless journey in The Legacy also varied wildly, but now I’ve settled back into 24 pages. This helps to keep me focused, and to self-edit.
How many pages is a chapter in your comic? -🌟

We’re crushed to hear the news that the great Udo Kier has passed at the age of 81. As iconic as he was prolific, Kier’s contributions to the genre span nearly 300 screen credits, from BLOOD FOR DRACULA to BACURAU and beyond. Our condolences go out to his friends, family and legions of fans.

If you're buying gifts for the holidays, maybe consider supporting artists, writers, creators. Gift someone a Patreon, commission an art piece, buy a book, purchase handmade jewelry, etc. Your support means everything.
