"AI dubs" are dead!

We can indeed stop these companies when they try to replace people with stolen slop.

The solution is bullying corporations, which is half y'all's hobby anyway so this should be easy.

Finding my old school projects from when I was 14-16 yrs old has raised 2 questions:

1. How the fuck did I ever graduate middle school?

and

2. How the fuck did I ever get accepted into trade school?

Like, my top 2 sources were Wikipedia and "trust me bro".

Contrary to popular belief, there are only four kinds of bats.
Illustrated image divided into four panels, each showing a head of a bat with a text label. Top left: little guy, a regular looking back with a dark face and light colored fur, top right: little guy deluxe, a bat with a mask and large ears alongside a bat with a leaf shaped nose, bottom left: what is even going on here, a visored bat with a large forehead next to a bat with a large, wrinkly nose, bottom right: o hi doggie, a fruit bat with its tongue sticking out.

Sometimes, drawing all of your art yourself means you come to a meme half a year late, but you know what, that’s okay! Because that means I made something! Myself! With all my human quirks and faults! Without a computer spitting it out!

#actionfigurememe #illustration #art #artsky
An illustration of an action figure in a blister pack on pastel rainbow coloured cardboard. The top of the pack says “Hat & Goggles: Art Edition”. The figure itself wears a captain’s cap with goggles affixed to it, has brown hair and brown eyes, glasses and wears a cream coloured shirt with an anchor shaped emblem on the left side of the chest, blue jeans with cuffed pant legs and high, black combat boots. The first accessory the figure comes with is a denim jacket with colourful patches, with a small piece of text that says “Collect all three themed patch jackets!” The second accessory slot is filled with a black iPod classic and wired earbuds and a pastel pink Nintendo DS Lite. The third accessory slot is filled with an iPad and an Apple Pencil. The final accessory the figure comes with is an ita bag with various colourful button badges, sword and axe shaped enamel pins and a plush Moomin keychain on the outside.

I really pity folks who grew up with English as their first language.

Like, how do you guys cope with reading the majority of fan fiction in your native tongue, without the safe distance of a foreign language?

I decided to do a bit of a style experiment (the shading has cute little halftone dots inside it) but after putting the illustration through Nightshade it doesn’t really show :’)

Oh well, at least I’m happy with the rest of how it turned out!

#ocsky #originalcharacter #dndcharacter
Belris (a DND 5E Halfling) stands on her fiancé Fuyuko’s (a DND 5E Goliath) thigh, and with an arm around Fuyuko’s neck and a hand gripping her shirt, pulls the smiling Goliath in for a kiss. Fuyuko, in turn, holds a careful arm out to catch Belris, should she lose her balance and fall. They are surrounded with black and white outlined roses and shoujo manga bubbles.

Morning thoughts about "AI".

Where do we go from here?
Thoughts about “AI” Yes it’s: The slop The theft The brainrot The loss of work The crumbling of creator rights The destroying of the environment and infrastructure But it's also the destroying of trust in anything that you’re not seeing with your own eyes right in front of you. Wonder now turned to the narrowing of eyes in immediate scepticism seeing something magical. Questioning the realness of everything from a stilted written apology to profound works by students in school. It feels like a slow poison to creativity and humanity at large.

#criticalrole #cr4 #criticalrolefanart
A portrait of Wicander Halovar from critical role on a dark background with little stars. Wicander is an aasimar with white/teal hair, teal eyes and white glowing facial markings. He is gently holding his hands together, as if he's praying, and wears a mildly concerned expression on his face.

Love to see community action against this AI nonsense! neighborhoodview.org/2025/11/13/d...
As one Massachusetts school administrator recently said; this moment with AI is remarkably like the moment when we were introduced to asbestos. Yes, it had some remarkably promising characteristics – fireproofing! – and had some real utility in science, research, and industrial applications. But a profit-driven industry bullied us into inserting it everywhere; into our homes and schools and public spaces, before we really understood the risks. This resulted in decades, if not centuries, of illness, injuries, deaths, and the astronomical financial burden of trying to remove the stuff. As you, the leaders and policymakers in our schools, craft an AI policy for our district, we the undersigned call on you to: 1. Ban AI tools into the classroom, protect our students and teachers from de-skilling and allow them the space and time to engage in assignments themselves. 2. Resist any direct financial relationship or contracts with AI providers, as well as the “training” they might offer. 3. Provide a digital literacy curriculum to help students navigate the current digital landscape, and promote critical engagement with technology. 4. Guarantee that anywhere generative AI has already entered our classrooms or curriculum, an opt-out will allow students and teachers to refuse the use of these products at no risk to their grades, progress or employment.

My fellow Europeans, I'm once again asking you to write or call your EU representatives and tell them this is unacceptable. They're essentially selling our sensitive data to companies, effectively destroying our privacy and risking our digital well-being.

Some BETTER LETTERER for you. And before the inevitable "that's not how I do it" replies, keep in mind that, by and large, this is how it's done in pro American comics (Marvel, DC, etc.) I've worked for all of them. More tips: blambot.com/pages/letter...
