Roy Lichtenstein is a fucking parasite who made millions— and his foundation STILL makes big bucks— off the work of comics artists. He refused to credit them, or share a penny with them.
His thievery is no different than AI scraping is now.

Roy Lichtenstein is STILL a beloved pop artist, and everyone knew from day one that his work was repurposed comic panels.
That's like saying "Andy Warhol was once a beloved pop artist but today is recognized as a man who plagiarized his pieces based on soup cans."
That was the point of Pop Art.

Kimmel’s defiant return highlights one of the most disturbing dynamics of Trump II, that so many people in positions of leadership are chickenshit frauds who would rather fold in advance than put up anything resembling a fight www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Meanwhile, the Tikvah Fund, which is getting millions of dollars to represent Jews on campus on behalf of the state, has an explicitly anti-trans agenda and denies trans identities.

I filled out the forms. 2 of my books were stolen. Plus 4 of my deceased Dad's scientific papers! Unclear if the latter theft will get me any money. I'm not holding my breath.
$3000 per stolen work, purportedly. We'll see if Anthropic (not Open AI) indeed pays up. I'm skeptical.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Can folks do me a favor?
I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January.
I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am.
I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics.
Here’s two favorite set photos.
