Got this extremely top tier comic in the mail randomly from a local org (which clearly used to be pro-AI). Nothing I ever make will ever surpass this genius. #openai #samaltman #scamaltman #fuckai #comics
I also recently read this great article by @edzitron.com www.wheresyoured.at/openai-is-a-...

First panel: Anti-AI superhero lady: YOU LIED, SAM ALTMAN. YOU PROMISED AI FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD.
next panel: Anti-AI superheroine punches AI robot in face while Sam screams in terror below holding a wad of cash. “YOU CAN’T BACKTRACK AND LINE YOUR POCKETS AT THE PEOPLE’S EXPENSE!” she says

“The narrative is not about the intellect, but is about emotions, impressions, and visuals. We have to feel as much as we read.” Better than I could have said it!!
And how I do love windsor mccay and moebius… good reminder to me to finally read my copy of the world of edena 👀

I knew I'd need to pick up a copy of @memoryfuel.bsky.social 's "DreamOver" as soon as I saw Dani on the exhibitor list. 🤩

The book "DreamOver" by Dani Diaz. The cover features a teen girl and boy bathed in eerie light of a TV screen as reality warps around them.
