Any politician, organization, or activist who calls for people to restrain themselves is effectively creating the conditions for more kidnapping and murder.

If we want others to understand this murder as a tragedy, we must ourselves behave as though it is a tragedy. Otherwise, it will happen again.

This one took a while to finish, but I'm really happy with how it turned out. The mask is from 3DCustomCraftUA on Etsy.

This is not the AI boom creating a new type of work, this is a classic example of managers using automation to deskill old ones. Creative workers who once made a higher wage creating original art and writing are now paid in piecework to edit automated output. Bosses are using AI to cut labor costs.

angela yang @angelayang.bsky.social · Sep 2

The AI boom has created a new type of work: fixing botched AI. Designers are being hired to remake wonky AI art. Writers are asked to make ChatGPT’s writing sound more human. Even software developers are tasked with fixing buggy vibe coding.

Humans are being hired to make AI slop look less sloppy

In the age of automation, human workers are being brought in to fix what artificial intelligence gets wrong.

The comic is titled "My Favorite Fighting Game Archetypes:"

Panel titled "The Grappler That Barely Fits on Screen". It's a huge, extremely muscular, bald 'pro wrestler' type character with metal bands around his arms. He is so big that he doesn't even notice his opponent, a regular sized guy in a yellow karate gi trembling in his shadow. His head is also bending the health bars above them.

Panel titled "The Small Idiot With a Big Stupid Weapon". It is a girl in a predominantly pink Japanese schoolgirl uniform with with a yellow ribbon on the collar, running excitedly, a sparkle in her eyes. With both arms she is wielding a full sized heating radiator.

Panel titled "The Straight Fundamentals, No Funny Business." Is it a grey-haired older man tightening the belt of his karate gi, which has yellow patches on the arms. He has a stern expression, confident in his mastery of his craft.

Panel titled "The Funny Business". It is some kind of purple imp type guy in a pink-and-yellow jester outfit with teal pom poms attached to the 3 points of the hat. He has a bag with a metal spiky ball, a giant wacky wooden hammer, and a banana peel inside it. There's also a whoopee cushion that fell out. He is pulling a gun out of it.

There is a lot of disagreement about what qualifies as a "burner phone," but learning to put together a device that protects your most sensitive data from surveillance and seizure by govts and law enforcement is good, actually.
