Ah dammit, ty

So a quick search suggests air traffic controllers make around $75,000 annually. $875 million would pay the salaries of 11,666 air traffic controllers for a decade at that wage.

Even considering inflation, training, medical, etc that $875,000,000 could pay for thousands of hired Amemricans for a decade. Republicans are literally the worst.

I know you don’t care but the fish thing has to do w symbolism not ethical constraint. Just fyi

I don’t think the articles in New Yorker are bad. I do think the illustrations are outstanding, but their cartoons are mostly overrated, artistically conservative, generic fare, imo.

Re: the bad typeface, my guess this may have a comic that was submitted for the New Yorker but rejected, so the cartoonist just published it wherever b/c I agree, I don’t think the NYer would eff that up. Just guessing tho

What a horribly lazy pun, brought to us by the most overrated school in all of comicsdom, the New Yorker Style.

Why are his teeth like that in the second photo? Did he get teeth tats? Are teeth tats a thing?

I hear you, but it’s no secret Windows sends telemetry data back to the Mother Ship, so how can you distinguish whether or not that includes Recall data?

Considering it’s a closed source, proprietary system, you sure seem confident about the 'local only not spying ’ thing.

Yeah, baby brained shit. Good luck, you’re going to need it.

Omg this shit is ludicrous. Are you baby brained?

I don’t use pencils to draft my work (penciling). I do this intentionally b/c I am a trained printmaker & back in the day (think sixteenth century) when making intaglio prints (that means on copper plates), there was no way to erase so they etched balls-to -the-wall style, mistakes & all.

I spent a long time learning to create line art w/o using pencil b/c I wanted to create that same weird, not-quite-right look that intaglio prints have.

I’m not sure why I’m bothering explaining myself b/c I am not in the habit of doing so but, goddamn, get a fucking hobby then maybe you won’t feel so threatened by AI.

Ofc I did these people are rabid weirdos, it’s alright.

HA! Are you accusing my work of being AI? That’s fucking hilarious

Well, you are making up head cannon. Check my profile, there’s a Pixelfed link. I’m an artist not an engineer.

Like…?

I happen to agree w the developer that peoples’ problem w AI is actually a problem w Capitalism

Accountability for what!? You people have lost your minds.

Yeah I do. This is a small, volunteer, open source developer creating something for our benefit & has found a way to ease their workload but the purity brigade demands they type everything out by hand from scratch b/c they have big feels & are reflexively reactionary about AI. Seems shitty to me.

Okay. I guess you want the volunteer open source dev to write everything by hand from scratch so it will pass your high standards. That’s on you, honestly.

Lord Almighty the reactionary hate is so goddamn stupid.

They are making the point that you won’t be able to tell the difference. & It’s a salient one.
