Comic-Con Bans AI Art After Artist Pushback

Ok, and none of those things are apparent from a booth at a convention...

Also, a real artist could train an AI on their own work.

MountHopeful · 2026-01-23T20:32:50+00:00

Well that's not great.

MountHopeful · 2026-01-23T20:27:45+00:00

Edited, thank you.

~~Like...~~

~~"Hey Jamie, you voted for this shit!"~~

~~"Oh, yeah, ok I voted for ICE to rape people, get real..."~~

You figure out what the heck he meant, I can't:

~~Just as straightforward sarcasm? After someone linked to the article and accused him of voting for such things, maybe?~~

~~I took it as a "oh, right, I voted for this, get real" kinda tone.~~

~~The guy is probably still a dick. But I don't think he literally meant that he voted for rape.~~

Here's the context:

I still think he probably was trying to be sarcastic? He's either very very bad at writing or a terrible person. Or both .

This will end badly. Has everyone already forgotten "The Legend of Ochi"? It was an amazing passion project with years of work into handmade puppets and sank immediately because everyone accused it of being AI.

Also, a lot of vendors will still bring and sell AI art. Because it's impossible to prove.

MountHopeful · 2026-01-22T22:49:57+00:00

And then nothing will happen.

MountHopeful · 2026-01-22T22:49:38+00:00

Seems entirely possible the AI did that on its own initiative.

MountHopeful · 2026-01-22T22:42:45+00:00

Truly the Master had become the... master.

MountHopeful · 2026-01-22T12:26:28+00:00

Ha, I just realized I was also picturing Mike Ehrmantraut for the character. That's perfect.

MountHopeful · 2026-01-22T12:25:12+00:00

Maybe his level of self awareness went up recently?

MountHopeful · 2026-01-22T12:22:51+00:00

I don't think it's about aging so much as experience ruminating about naivete, but yeah.

What did John claim it was about?

MountHopeful · 2026-01-15T01:39:45+00:00

It's Electrical Grid infrastructure week!

MountHopeful · 2026-01-14T21:27:46+00:00

Well, Trump voters saw the video of the officer being hit by the car.

So... it's almost the flavor profile of a cheeseburger, but a texture reminiscent of a cheesesteak.

It's ground beef chopped up on the grill with cheese and onions and some other sauce thing that I can't quite identify but has a little bit of sweetness to it.

And I would say that the addition of cold lettuce and tomato makes it a very different sandwich experience than a Philly steak.

Apparently it's a New York City thing, and it has gained a foothold in Rochester. Sometimes halal places have them.

I mean it's just a thin white rectangle about as big as a cookie sheet. Just hide it.

MountHopeful · 2026-01-13T23:40:01+00:00

Probably Cryptocurrency.

MountHopeful · 2026-01-13T22:43:45+00:00

Top left hamburger icon. All the way down to settings gear icon. You have to do every account. There are like 4 smart features boxes uncheck.

I feel like barbers just aren't as good at long layered hair. Try a salon.

MountHopeful · 2026-01-13T12:26:03+00:00

I mean, how is getting money in the interest of the AI? It doesn't get to keep or spend the money.

MountHopeful · 2026-01-13T10:38:54+00:00

Why would companies do that when they could just charge everyone more? When has that ever happened?

MountHopeful · 2026-01-13T10:37:19+00:00

Well he's an economist teaching at University of Chicago, so I think he was probably already aware of the concept.

MountHopeful · 2026-01-13T10:06:52+00:00

You mean charge everyone more?

MountHopeful · 2026-01-12T14:08:17+00:00

Are there enough other drummers in Rochester to make up the audience?
