Kicking off my fresh start on Bluesky with my latest full-blown illustration. Alexander seconds before "Henshin."
I really gotta finish the companion piece with his sister.
#OriginalCharacters #Tokusatsu

Alex here, along with his twin sister Sandy, are the Main Characters of my OC story "Zenith Knight" If you couldn't guess by the name, it's heavily inspired by Tokusatsu shows such as Kamen Rider & Super Sentai.

One of the wildest issues AI creates is that it makes people who shouldn't do things they don't understand, do those exact things believing they understand.

guy in a legal advice reddit wants to know how to get out of paying google the money he owes them after vibe coding one of his apps into running 40 times a second for several days straight, but says it's not his fault bc they should have stopped him by making it harder to use

Google want to charge me 7 k for API access what can I do as they are denying appeals
Debt & Money
Hi there and thanks for reading.
I tried to keep this brief and just ended up rambling on trying to get as much in as possible so here is my edited hopefully a lot smaller problem.
Google are charging me 7k for a mistake that I told them about within a day, the bill went from about £45 to 16k in a day! when I asked for help I was told "dont worry well reset it as a one off, you'll need to put measures in place and ill guide you through those after you agree" So i did he then said "I will monitor it for a further 24 - 48 hours and then tell you how to put the measures in place. " Less than 24 hours later the bill was now 23k and I found out how to stop it myself. Then came the long back and forth to get it reset.
Fast forward 5 months they have finally given me a 20k credit but with VAT the total bill at the time of the credit was 27k
The 20k would have cleared the costs at the time of making them aware they claim its both our responsibilities to monitor costs I feel I did that by contacting them as soon as I saw the irregularity.
I asked them to reconsider they said no the appeal has said that is their final offer so 1 now owe 7k.
Is there anything I can do here from a legal standpoint. I don't have 7k I barely have £45.
Thanks for reading I am in England if it helps.

Intentional or not, OP used either 36k (16 + 20) or 43k (16 + 27) of API credit. Obviously what API it is matters, but with google maps, 16k would equate to ten million pulls. Or two hundred thousand Gemini 2.5 calls with 1000 token input and 5k token output.
Those aren't numbers that something running correctly should run up for any average person or company. So either google screwed up something (which is unlikely that it would only happen to one person in the entire network) or OP has some app or something which isn't running properly and is sending too much to the API.
Edit: It was OP's app, polling google maps nearly 40 times a second for days.

According to other posts he ended up polling Google maps direction API 2300 times per minute for a few days. Looks like a combination of OP not knowing coding and asking ChatGPT to do it for him, and potentially Google's backend doing something weird in interpreting the janky code.

MORE COMIC STUFF!!!!

Right now I'm just trying to lay out how the title, logo and cover art is going to look on the page...

How does this look layout wise? Is there anything I need to fix? Don't mind the shitty cover sketch that was a placeholder lmao.

So anyway, this is how the governor of a blue state who is supposedly against what’s going on deploys his state police to support it. Don’t let his posts fool you.

Warm up drawings with Zan Partizanne #kirby #kirbystarallies

Two digital sketches of Zan Partizanne as a realistically proportioned human. The left drawing has her wearing a summer dress and sunhat and is nervously grasping one of her arms. The right drawing has her back facing us, and she is wearing a light silky fabric around her waist that is held up by a heart-shaped pin.

Pixel art of Luigi from the Mario games. He’s standing on a path in a green landscape under blue sky and puffy clouds. He has one hand on his hip and the other is tipping up his green hat. Orange balloon lettering I his left reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’ and below that is a Super Mario Bros question block.

My FedBook feed has been filled with comrades protesting coast to coast, others running local mutual projects, others sharing the art they've made and encouraging people to use it how they see it fit. I am extraordinarily grateful to and for the people with whom I am in community.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"
