This video never names it, but it nails the “woozle effect”: when something seems true bc sources cite each other instead of an original. The term’s from Winnie the Pooh, where Pooh and Piglet follow their own tracks in circles looking for "woozles." Perfect metaphor for AI ouroboros poisoning info.

A colleague (he is a 100% tech guy) told me the other day that when he looks at art, he feels the emotions behind it something he doesn't experience with AI "art".
This comic reminded me of this.
It's worth da read!

In his defense, I only knew that position and thought they were all numbered. 😂

I was wondering if that is an option. Here in Germany you can just not transfer the full amount of rent if the elevator isn't fixed for such a long period of time. I'd definitely check if that is an option legally.

Hey! In two weeks, I will be at Rail City Fan Fest! If you're in the area, come see me and say hello! 🥰
(I know no one here is in northern Vermont...but let's all play pretend that you're going to come stop by, yes? 🤣)

Congrats! 🎉

That's prettier sparkle candles than AnD had for its 20th anniversary - cause it had none 😂
You inspired me to make cake for the 25th, tho! 👀

I totally understand! A website has been on my to-do list for years. If we just had more time at our disposal for hobby stuff. :(

I see. I'm not reading on wt anymore and can't afford to buy the printed copy, unfortunately. :( Let me if you ever post it someplace else! I'd love to have a look! 😊

I kind of get it, too. That character had a lot of potential. Yet, I get you as well. Sometimes characters have to go because it's what they chose for themselves or because they have fulfilled their purpose in the story. There's potential in growth for other characters now. Can't wait to see that. 👀

Thanks! You're totally right about that! It's gonna get intense!

To me, the biggest appeal of webcomics is how they're someone's quirky passion project and not something that will be cancelled due to ratings or have the plot changed based on popularity poll numbers. There's something raw and genuine and beautiful when someone just makes the thing from their heart

ngl, I'm intrigued to learn about that character death. Is your comic someplace other than wt as well? 👀

Freiha ~ Arindia no Densetsu @freiha.bsky.social · 14d

Was it that one particular character death? It actually just made me more intrigued, curious as to how other characters would react to this especially that one character. 👀 Give me the drama! 😂 3/3

Only later I learned that this is nothing to be ashamed of and I'd enjoy making the comic more if I added the tropes and themes I like. If readers don't like it, then that's their problem. They can go create something they enjoy. I can't remember what happened im Ch. 69 that made readers mad. 2/

I never had many readers so I guess the pressure was never really there for me. Except early on when I was pretty reluctant to show characters suffering too much, too scared people might think I enjoy that (which I do, hurt/comfort is oneof my fave themes). 1/

In case AI art didn't made you mad already.

Even though you feel that way right now, it's not because it's true. It's because people around you - willingly or not - confirm that. It is hard to leave people behind, yet, it will lead to a better life if you get rid of those who make you feel bad about yourself. 🫂 (3/3)

So I hid my true self and am still hesitant to this day to share my own interests scared of rejection, even tho I've identified the lies years ago. I got rid of the people who gave me those emotions. My life has been so much better ever since. (2/x)

What a shitty thing to say! That person doesn't deserve your trust!
I relate to the feeling you have, tho! In my early life people only spend time with me when I showed interest in them and helped them is what I perceived. (1/x)
