learning aseprite and it's crazy how once you know adobe photoshop (or any adobe software) you already know how to use every other graphics software. reminds me of using clip studio paint for the first time and thinking it's just a dumbed down version of photoshop

artist friend casually dropping she's constantly being mistaken for one of the biggest mangaka today because she posed with her ages ago at a con and was tagged wrongly on a website and now her photo turns up on google every time you search the mangaka's name

Following the recent ominous Bluesky controversies got me thinking about how a Bluesky exodus would play out. So I dug into the studies of the 2022 Mastodon migration from Twitter: I found 14 studies.

Here's my new post @plos.org

I never knew LinkedIn had shitposters
Ken Cheng • • Following I want to connect with you, emotionally :) 9mo • Edited • O I owed a friend £22.91 for an Uber. I transferred them £22.19 by accident. They never brought it up. Nobody would bring up 72p. I did it on purpose. I've been doing it for years. Every time have to transter someone money, i "accidentally" leave off a bit. I call it the Plausible Deniability Typo. £24.37 instead of £24.73. £9.38 instead of £9.83. £3.46 instead of £3.64. Sometimes if I'm feeling really risky, I'll do £18.54 instead of £19.54. They'd look like a complete tool to quibble over this. Instead, they are a tool in a different way. A tool for me to get to the top. l've probably made £100 over 5 years.

Added alt text with full quote.

“When I see that, I worry that they might face serious trouble down the line if they don't take it more seriously.”
Hirohiko Araki addresses Al art in his latest book: "Recently, I came across a drawing that perfectly mimicked my art style. I thought 'I don't remember drawing this' only to find out it was Al, I was shocked, this is truly evil and a tool for scammers" In this post there is a photo of Hirohiko Araki, creator of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure next to Giorno from the series. By Hirohiko Araki. It’s titled “Today’s World of Con Artists” and it reads: Speaking about 'societal evils, I think that as Al continues to spread throughout society, we're going to see an increasingly shady world filled with scammers exploiting it. Recently, I came across a drawing and thought, "This is something I drew, right?" I was shocked to find out it was actually created by Al. When I draw manga, I add subtle, personal elements that make the work uniquely mine. But this Al-generated piece even mimicked details like the way I draw eyelashes, so precisely that it was almost impossible to tell it apart from my work. If it were based on recent drawings, I'd know right away, "No, I didn't draw this." On the other hand, I honestly wouldn't be able to tell the difference if it were done with my art from about ten years ago, when my memory of it would be a little hazy. The more Al advances, the more this kind of thing will happen. Art reflects the times, and manga is one example of that. Seeing this world of con artists appear in manga could very well mean that we're headed for a future world dominated by fraudsters. This type of 'evil' in today's age will undoubtedly end up impacting manga down the line. Copyright infringement by Al is also a 'villain' that we manga artists must face. The extreme scenario is that Al-generated fakes might start being accepted as the "real thing," and even if we try to protect our work, these counterfeits are becoming so accurate and sophisticated that it's no longer a fight an individual can win. Having some kind of laws would probably be the only way to regulate this. However, because we're dealing with a world of con artists, there's also a very real possibility that laws favoring them will appear before we know it. Personally, I entrust my copyright management to Shueisha, but some manga artists are lax in managing their copyrights, leading to others using their artwork without permission or even leaking original drawings.
