Latest comic: AI gone MAD
#tech #technology #internet #ai #cartoon #comic #cows

AI GONE MAD

1. AI has been feeding on the creative efforts of humans for a while.

We provide "grass" for this hungry digital bovine. Shown: pixelated cow labeled COWGPT

2. But as the internet increasingly becomes filled with AI-generated content, AI is consuming itself.

Researchers at Rice University have compared the resulting data corruption to mad cow disease, spread by cows eating other cows.

Cow eating ground up cow with hoof sticking out

3. They say "without enough fresh real data, future generative models are doomed to madness." (Model Autophagy Disorder)

Cows eating other cows, devolving into multiple legged three eyed AI cows

4. Is this really the dream of the future? A diseased digital brain full of misfolded data prions leading us to certain death?

1990s - Woman using Netscape Navigator: The whole world is connected!

Soon - Waking away from laptop as frothing cow emerges from screen: I think I'll read a book.

Latest comic: Prairie Progressives
#uspol #USPolitics #cartoon #comic #TimWalz #media #journalism #rural

Prairie Progressives

1. The popularity of Tim Walz has reporters flummoxed

Tim Walz holding a piglet flanked by supporters

Reporter: What -- are we expected to cover these people as "real" Americans?

2. Reporter in diner interviewing guy in a Harris-Walz t-shirt: You're from a small midwestern town... and you're pro-choice and pro-union?

Diner guy: You've been hanging out in the wrong diners, buddy.

3. Reporter in field interviewing woman: But--but--rural folks aren't progressive!

Woman: Have you studied the history of farmers' and labor movements at all, my dude?

4. Reporter holding up MAGA hat to bearded guy: Come on -- don't you like MAGA just a teeny bit? Put on this hat and say something adorably rude.

Guy: When do I get my valorizing puff piece?

Reporter: Not until you put on the hat.

Latest comic: Critics to ignore

#uspol #elections #2024election #kamala #KamalaHarris #women #gender #comic #cartoon #media

CRITICS TO IGNORE

1. Pundit: The Democratic Convention failed to speak to America's barbarian-curious young men who just want to drag women around by their hair.

Helmeted man in furs in the background dragging a woman by her ponytail

Pundit: Will no one think of them?

2. Elizabeth Warren was too wonky and full of boring plans. Kamala Harris is all style and no substance. Why can't these ladies ever get it right?

3. Dems calling Trump and Vance "weird" is extremely alienating to those of us who believe in civility. Why can't they stay positive?

4. What is this "joy" of which the Democrats speak? Everyone knows a winning campaign is a miserable slog!

This week's comic: Many white Americans fail to assimilate
#cartoon #comic #race #immigration #racism #uspol

MANY WHITE AMERICANS FAIL TO ASSIMILATE

1. Some self-segregate in homogeneous neighborhoods
Gated community with sigh saying Caucasian Pointe, no trespassing

2. Others fly the flag of a foreign country
Pickup truck flying Confederate flag blasting 'AND THIS BIRD YOU CANNOT CHANGE' with caption reading 'traditional folk music'

3. Many refuse to speak contemporary English.
Scowling woman: Seems like the homos and orientals are everywhere!

4. Will these stubborn holdouts ever integrate into our multiracial society?
Younger brown guy pointing to old white guy in MAGA hat and Trump t-shirt: It might help if they stopped wearing those funny hats.

Latest comic on the looting of Red Lobster by private equity

#economy #business #corporations #PrivateEquity #RedLobster #cartoon #comic

SHELL GAME

1. It's easy to imagine that Red Lobster's bankruptcy was due to an ill-advised promotion.

Man tossing prawns into mouth: ENDLESS SHRIMP!

2. But far more damaging was being bought by a private equity firm that sold off its land and buildings.

Private equity executive holding a lobster: Lobster is so much tastier when you remove the shell!

3. The cost of leasing back its stores was much greater than the losses from the promotion.

Two piles of shrimp, with one shrimp equal to $1 million

Shrimp deal $11 million
Rent $200 million

4. Looting business after business -- it's an all-you-can-eat special for private equity.

Private equity executive eating fast food buildings with WHITE MOBSTER sign in background: MORE CHAIN RESTAURANTS!

Are you an introvert?

Terrific explainer by https://introverteed.com/blogs/news/an-introduction-to-the-introvert-social-battery #comic #art

1: Holy Crap! You're an Introvert?? But you're always so friendly and talkative and nice to everyone!

2: Despite popular belief, a lot of introverts can be pretty social. The big difference is that it drains our “social battery” and we have to recharge after awhile.

1: Cool I get it! So what happens when o your social battery runs out of--

2: Poof (disappears)

1: Oh.

Credit: https://introverteed.com/blogs/news/an-introduction-to-the-introvert-social-battery

An introduction to the introvert social battery

People think that introverts are incapable of basic human interaction and emotion, like we are social recluses because we seemingly don't like to talk and hate everyone.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Woman: The moment it’s warm enough to enjoy the spring, the leaf blowers start up.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

All to blow a few blades of grass off a driveway!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Man: What you need are noise-canceling earbuds and birdsong recordings to re-create the joys of a suburbanized spring.
Softer REEEEEEE
Woman, wearing earbuds with birds tweeting around head: Ah, the late anthropocene…

I've been too burnt out doing the comic, needed to draw something else to stretch the brain.

So I started to do portraits of characters. This is the vox of the city, her mentor is the lingering whisper of a city that isn't in this world anymore.

If media talked about the donor class the way it talks about college students

Flight attendant: Martini, sir?

Executive: @#!$ WOKE KIDS! I WILL BUY THEIR TIKTOK!

This week's comic: What can we do about a Supreme Court packed with corrupt extremists?

#supremecourt #scotus #democracy #law #abortion #cartoon #comic

What can we do about a Supreme Court packed with corrupt extremists?

1. Nothing. Live with them until better justices can be appointed.

Clarence Thomas: Checkmate!

2. Ignore the court, refuse to obey future ridiculous rulings

Cons: Chaos, Constitutional crisis

Woman in front of bunker and concertina wire in the Free State of California with National Guard tank approaching: At least I have birth control!

3. Wait until apocalypse, then start over

Cons: Loss of humanity, biosphere

Man to woman in front of apocalyptic landscape: Hey baby, wanna make some new judges who believe in pluralistic democracy?

4. Expand the court with qualified justices

Cons: Many Democrats won't even talk about it

Democratic politician: We would never dream of doing something so dramatic!

Note: Apocalypse much more likely

can you find your friends?

Girl, holding the cyber mantis leaflet given to her by an ominous robed character comes across a sign with the same symbol and an entrance to an underground club.

Outside the entrance two hackers smoke.

There is a poster for the band lo0.

She enters. In the hallway she walks past 3 coin laundry cultists. The hallway is littered with posters and stickers. She presses on.

She walks into the club. The singer of lo0 is just performing their classic: 'browser poweruser.' The place is packed with hackers.

Everyone in the club turns around to look at Girl. Most are surprised. A few recognize her. Girl is happy.
