this is how moral universalism gets you: you get to be a hater but you have to admit that your haters have a point? TRULY unfair www.qwantz.com/index.php?co...

Comics pals! This is my favorite thing I do all year: ALASKA COMICS CAMP. Cartoonists from all over North America (& the world!) gather at camp outside Juneau for self-taught classes on cartooning, business and FRIENDSHIP. It's pure and joy-filled and every year I leave with a full heart. Join us!
Hi comics friends! Applications for the Alaska Robotics Comics Camp are now open. minicon.alaskarobotics.com

If you are in comics, or comics adjacent, or you like comics and also mountains and beaches, or making things by hand, or you’re — and be honest with yourself here — a massive dork in at least a few arenas (raises hand), ahhh you gotta try Alaska Comics Camp.

And while we're on the subject: there's no ethical use of a product brought to market through unethical means. It doesn't matter whether the product is "AI" or chocolate or diamonds. Most generative "AI" was knowingly developed through massive theft from creatives; we have the emails admitting this.
Ryan North reposted
The acid test for me is a simple one: Has my professional and/or creative life benefited in any material way from "AI," and very specifically generative "AI"? No, it hasn't. Has it been negatively impacted by the same? Yup, in a whole bunch of ways. My professional life is worse now for it.
Pulling some thoughts together from disparate discussions on the SoA / AI Charter thing... (Full text here: societyofauthors.org/charter-of-e...)
This was a fun game - show me an image, and then I have to name the artist and book. ALSO: the only quiet place we could find to film was my hotel room, so please enjoy this rare footage of RYAN NORTH on his BED wearing nothing but SHORTS and a SMILE (and also OTHER CLOTHING)

The oceanic pole of inaccessibility (Point Nemo, 48°52.6′S 123°23.6′W), is famous for two things. First, for being the single point on the planet where you are as far from land as it is possible to be. Second, for being a MEMORABLY bad hotel www.qwantz.com/index.php?co...
