My #review of Into the Unbeing Volume 1, by Zac Thompson, art by Hayden Sherman and Jim Campbell is now live. The art and the paneling really carried the story for this, because the characterization and the narrative need some work.

Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins just won't stop cranking out sequels!
The party line has gone from "women have to start using genAI or they'll be left behind" to "everyone has to start using genAI or they'll be left behind" to "everyone has to start using genAI or genAI will be left behind."

Fun fact: Black Panthers doing perfectly legal (at the time) open carry in CA in the 1960s spurred then-Governor Reagan to sign the Mulford Act into law in 1965, prohibiting it.

These people have no consistent politics outside a desperate, leering need to keep hold of power and privilege.

Apparently the AI bros are on another round of "Hatsune Miku is AI, checkmate luddites" so this is just a reminder that the singer behind Miku was paid and still earns royalties, and beyond that, Miku is nothing more than a MIDI soundboard with advanced pitch converter options, it is not genAI.

My #review of Houses of the Unholy, by Ed Brubaker, art by Sean Phillips. A great exploration of the Satanic panic, mass hysteria, conspiracy theories, and their lasting after-effects, but could have used a stronger ending.

fuck that I'm not handing over info as an "experiment"
Discord users internationally are reportedly seeing prompts to age verify to access NSFW channels. Discord states these may be seen by users outside the UK & Australia “as part of ongoing experiments.”

New portfolio piece! This one took over a year to finish between making three whole books and other work, but I'm glad I didn't rush it.

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.
Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.

My #review of Daedalus Is Dead by Seamus Sullivan is now live. A lovely and bittersweet retelling of the Daedalus stories, tackling fatherhood, grief, and the effects of living under tyranny.
