I sort of assume anyone following me already knows a bit about me but maybe not? I'm an artist/writer/designer working mostly in comics. Created The Wicked + The Divine with @kierongillen.bsky.social after our run on Marvel's Young Avengers. Currently writing and drawing ONE FOR SORROW at DSTLRY.
Cover for ONE FOR SORROW #2, drawn by me. The hooded figure of spooky vigilante Magpie faces off against a horde of men carrying various weapons, in a Victorian industrial corridor. Cover for The Wicked + The Divine #1, drawn by me and coloured by Matt Wilson. Series lead Laura Wilson is shown in a headshot style image, with streams of pink and blue light moving around her. Cover the Young Avengers Vol2 complete collection, drawn by me and coloured by Matt Wilson. Drawn from the point of view of someone being lifted up by their shirt by America Chavez, who has a fist up and ready to punch with, the cover shows the rest of the Young Avengers team behind America ready for action.

It's not just "consumer smart" it reduces environmental waste, key materials are often mined in slave conditions. The whole tenor of the article is wrong - why is the economy so dependent on us engaging in mass waste?

Cover for CATWOMAN UNCOVERED #1, a collection of Catwoman covers from DC.
A drawing of Catwoman by me. She is pictured from above, falling through the air having jumped backward off a building, her whip twisting through the air around her. She is confidently smiling and in control of her descent. Below her is a city intersection, the lights glowing in the night against the darker buildings.

Cover I drew for Home Sick Pilots #4 a few years ago.
Variant cover for Home Sick Pilots #4, drawn and coloured by me. A girl stands facing the reader with her arms held out at her sides, palms facing forward. She glows with white and pink energy. Behind her, lit by her glow, is a large and powerful-looking artificial construct made from what looks to be stone. It brandishes two enormous fists.

one of the things that makes me most mad about genAI (and there are many) is we've been told there's not enough money for hiring. but there's billions poured into ai.

so not enough money to hire workers. but infinite money to pour into technology whose goal is never having to pay workers again.

A bit more on this podcast and how it is meant to operate. This is kind of a new idea (I think) so it might not work. It might, though. I think you'll like the story, regardless.

In a text message in 2021, Mark Zuckerberg said that he wouldn’t say that child safety was his top concern “when I have a number of other areas I’m more focused on like building the metaverse.” Zuckerberg also shot down or ignored requests by Nick Clegg, Meta's then-head of global public policy, to better fund child safety work.

i just reviewed 50+ applications for an arts award and most of them were written by chatgpt. And then the other reviewers said they put them into Gemini to rank them. At a certain point, if everyone is giving their thinking entirely over to AI, why are we even bothering with any of this anymore?
very media era gets the fabulists it deserves. If Stephen Glass, Jayson Blair and the other late 20th century fakers were looking for the prestige and power that came with journalism in that moment, then this generation’s internet scammers are scavenging in the wreckage of a degraded media environment. They’re taking advantage of an ecosystem uniquely susceptible to fraud—where publications with prestigious names publish rickety journalism under their brands, where fact-checkers have been axed and editors are overworked, where technology has made falsifying pitches and entire articles trivially easy, and where decades of devaluing journalism as simply more “content” have blurred the lines so much it can be difficult to remember where they were to begin with. Freelance journalism in 2025 is an incredibly difficult place to build a career. But, it turns out, it’s a decent enough arena for a scam. On their website, Outrider says they pay $1,000 per article. Dwell’s rates start at 50 cents a word—a fee that’s difficult to justify if you actually want to interview 10 of the top designers in the world, but a healthy payday if you only need to enter a few words into ChatGPT.

17 strikes and you’re out. 💀
By and large, however, the allegations against the other social media platforms are less detailed than those against Meta. The internal documents cited by the plaintiffs allege: Meta intentionally designed its youth safety features to be ineffective and rarely used, and blocked testing of safety features that it feared might be harmful to growth. Meta required users to be caught 17 times attempting to traffic people for sex before it would remove them from its platform, which a document described as “a very, very, very high strike threshold." Meta recognized that optimizing its products to increase teen engagement resulted in serving them more harmful content, but did so anyway. Meta stalled internal efforts to prevent child predators from contacting minors for years due to growth concerns, and pressured safety staff to circulate arguments justifying its decision not to act.

If you have been sharing that Malwarebytes article on the Gmail thing, you should note the giant correction up top.

www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...
Update November 22. We’ve updated this article after realising we contributed to a perfect storm of misunderstanding around a recent change in the wording and placement of Gmail’s smart features. The settings themselves aren’t new, but the way Google recently rewrote and surfaced them led a lot of people (including us) to believe Gmail content might be used to train Google’s AI models, and that users were being opted in automatically. After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Gmail does scan email content to power its own “smart features,” such as spam filtering, categorisation, and writing suggestions. But this is part of how Gmail normally works and isn’t the same as training Google’s generative AI models. Google also maintains that these feature settings are opt-in rather than opt-out, although users’ experiences seem to vary depending on when and how the new wording appeared. It’s easy to see where the confusion came from. Google’s updated language around “smart features” is vague, and the term “smart” often implies AI—especially at a time when Gemini is being integrated into other parts of Google’s products. When the new wording started appearing for some users without much explanation, many assumed it signalled a broader shift. We’ve revised this article to reflect what we can confirm from Google’s documentation, as it’s always been our aim to give readers accurate, helpful guidance.
