Big Game Hunter

A man dressed in a safari outfit including a pith helmet, monocle, and a big fluffy mustache, sits in a fluffy chair holding a glass of liquor on top of a rug that looks distinctly like Tigger from Disney's Winnie The Pooh's flayed skin. Further, behind him are mounted heads that look remarkably like Bugs Bunny, Yogi Bear, and Mickey Mouse. The man opines "there is just such an exquisite thrill in the hunt- Even though they are such simple, oblivious creatures, God's innocents, it is a primal battle of wits. The really clever ones say things like 'No! Please! I'm not really Mickey, this is a costume. I'm just a guy in a suit. Someone call park security-' but I know their tricks. Oh no no, you shan't be dropping an anvil on MY head."

This semester in pottery is my time to shine. I'm committing myself to the little projects I wasn't sure of, was a little nervous about

which is a long way of saying if in three months I don't have at least the dismembered limbs of a porcelain clown in my hands y'all need to throw rocks at me

Ursa and Genevieve, the main character + love interest of my new comic coming to ShortBox Comics Fair in 2 WEEKS...!

collage with a portrait of Ursa. A scroll reads: An eccentric girl, whose very few friends amongst her peers have fallen dead to illness. She experiences strange visions before disaster, and is therefore rumored to be either cursed or a witch. Despite this, she remains good-humored! She enjoys collecting things, shirking her duties, and takes some joy in frightening the other ladies. She naturally attracts attention, but lately she senses more eyes on her than usual...

collage with a portrait of Genevieve. A scroll reads: The queen bee of the ladies, she was the picture of virtue and diligence. Admired by her peers and treasured by her superiors, no other girl had more love than she. However, after falling to a sleeping curse two years ago, her friends have all abandoned her for fear of it being spread… The only woman in the castle who will go near her is Ursa, who tenderly cares for her. But while her body sleeps, her spirit is awake, with its own motives… and when she wakes, the ladies might find that she is not quite the girl they thought she was.

This whole section really.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

"But this is it now this is the mud of Troy
This is black wings coming down every evening
Bird's feathers on your face
Unmaking you mouthful by mouthful
Eating your eyes your open eyes
Which your mother should have closed"
