GREAT. It’s about time. We’ll finally have Hitler on the ropes.
I like The Guardian, generally, but why is this news? Modern technology being able to beat up less-new technology is not impressive and is not related to any of the reasons that this particular technology is noteworthy or criticized
I don’t think anybody assumed present artificial intelligence couldn’t do that, or even PONDERED if it could, and that it CAN doesn’t justify its rampant undesired incursions where it doesn’t belong, much less the obscene amounts of electricity that it wastes.
What is AI doing about our present 2025 nazi problem apart from generating meme videos, self-published book covers and fake “evidence” against perceived enemies for them?
the actual article seems to be about showing how far artificial intelligence has come since its origin but as often happens, the headline makes it seem more sensational and obnoxious. Although sometimes that isn’t possible
in a different story about a totally ludicrous circumstance presented as if it is normal that i already saw being mocked before the guardian reported on it,
If it is “ai-generated” it is NOT evidence. That is called forgery. Fabrication. Fraud. It also has nothing to do with the incredibly absurd and creepy “victim impact statement” that this story is actually about, and this proves it isn’t just the headline-smith making things stupider.
I don’t understand how a legitimate newspaper can be pro-ai-generation or even neutral on the topic when that’s precisely what the right wing creeps they generally report on the flagrant immorality of want to use to put true journalists, if not all writers and artists, out of business. Though admittedly some should be easier to put out of business than others.
are you making beans on toast wrong? And also speaking IMPROPERLY? How is it even POSSIBLE to put beans on to toast and have it not be correct if any way is correct? That seems even harder to screw up than beef stew over biscuits. And if i like it that way, why is that anyone else’s business? Or news? Unless you take money to run trash stories like this? And if you do, how much are AI creeps giving you, and will it have been worth poisoning your very livelihood?
perhaps some people simply enjoy being poisoned
This made sense when i went to bed last “night” and maybe it doesn’t but I managed to dwell on something that might not make sense for less than a day which might constitute a form of progress.
i used to end up at a lot of bad local comedy shows because my brother was involved with them, and the worst comedians invariably became his close friends and also had the worst opinions. None of them have been recruited into the government as of this time but surely that is something to aim for.
then i eventually remembered that fringo and the belligerant gnomes and their preferred hang-out spot were directly inspired by having to attend those comedy/band shows and the awful people i encountered there, so i might as well have drawn fringo as the comedian here. plainly i was going for the same traits. The gnomes may have slightly elevated senses of fashion.
i don’t know if this is funny at all –possibly this video showing the individual parts used to assemble the kraft mario bros macaroni commercial accompanied by a completely deadpan voice naming each of them is funnier– and the script is so old that bob hoskins was still alive when i first wrote it, and screwing with cdi cartoons was old then, yet i still would think about this in 2025, so i had almost no choice but to deal with it
the one person i have had any comment from about this so far seems to think it is not screwy enough, perhaps needing more repetitive editing and speaker-wrecking volume. I am not looking to compete with or join with people who engage in or enjoy that. A bit later a second comment simply announced “gay” and I can’t quite manage that either. There hasn’t been a “community” yet whose rituals I was able or willing to imitate well or long enough to belong among them. As usually is the case, i just like a few specific components, in this case imitating the mario actor’s voice and stupid written correspondence, and stuck with that. i do not have any more “videos” “planned” so presumably i will find worse things to do with my time again.
another video mix of sega genesis voices and arguably relevant pictures that absolutely has a reason to exist. People kept asking me to make a video like this for dynamite headdy or sonic cd so i did it for gley lancer
i regret that i had to remove this picture. There isn’t time to read the text on it which is the main reason it is funny to me. back when the genesis fan-translation came out i had never heard of monster world 4 and i must have tried to look up information about it but it was only in japanese, and i ran this page through google translate, and fixated on “you will defend with the shield.” you WILL. you have NO CHOICE but to DEFEND with THE shield. Don’t try to get out of this responsibility
The “doodily doodily doo” came from some “sprout” machine preloaded with stupid videos produced by the same company that my niece was carrying around 7 years ago, and that i probably meant to put in a ristar-related video and then simply forgot about when I actually made a ristar video, so now it gets to make even less sense than it would have otherwise.
it is redrawn from a 2003 picture (on that page, but also immediately below on this page) which various recent circumstances of my existence unrelated to utterly unnecessary federal aviation control funding cuts made me think of.
sorting out the roofs is the hardest part. i am never quite sure what all the nonsense on roofs IS. I don’t know that I did enough to make the turbine vent stand out since it is hard to communicate how stupid those look when I can’t show it in motion, even with a bird on it.
WHAT a STUPID bird! That looks like the world’s dumbest bird. Except there are numerous videos of birds doing that and they can’t all be the single dumbest bird but they are likely in the dumbest category of birds
ideally its past appeal didn’t in part come from its cheapo 2004 pixel rendering or the absence of that obnoxious WAH creature in one of the windows. i like to imagine that knowing the building was inhabited by those makes the thought of a flaming aircraft bumping into it less worrisome
WHAT??! i REFUSE to WAIT for dopes! If they have a house, I evict them immediately, and failing that, i throw a helicopter at them. ARRRRGHF and i already wasted it on the dumb wah beasts! What a fool I’ve been! This isn’t right, having to choose between the dumbest birds teamed up with the third dumbest imps and the unquestionably dumbest imps. And with helicopter prices what they are now I can’t afford a second one.
this has not literally occurred, at least not in this exact manner, but mostly because I know people react this way and I generally do not want to make my dumb problem into someone else’s bigger problem with me, however ridiculous the thought process behind it is. i do not believe i could ever say “i have an agender identity” aloud without putting an insulting inflection on it. nonetheless that is something which i WANT to express.
This previously featured additional dialog that i worried was excessive. And so i removed it, but i still think about what i removed. i like some of the dropped poses and some of the dropped dialog isn’t even redundant with what i have put in past annoying pathetic snake comic strips.
too many dumb snake comics these days. i have let the dedicated side-site for them fall out of date again (now amended), and still without investigating the elephantitis of its navigation links (still still)
I do not think “rollercoaster” is a proper assessment; that would require going back up before going down again. Trump policy forgoes laws of physics, among others
b-b-but it could WORK!
the fault (regarding this communication) might be with the headline writer. it often is. the headline implies with “it could work” that a net positive outcome is possible, whereas it merely means that those who already control pretty much everything MIGHT get to control slightly more of it.
they have no love or happiness (and possibly are quite dirty) and so only “win” by depriving others further. they can’t use what they deprive you of, but it is more important that you don’t have it.
march 31 supposedly was “trans day of visibility,” and as it usually goes I did not know there was one or that it was coming, and so was unprepared.
I also do not know if i properly qualify as “trans” but i absolutely have trans-like issues via preferring ambiguity, on account of not believing that i would be accepted as a full trans person, which a good many people and systems who don’t know me [and a few who sadly do believe that they know me would] still scorn me for, and i also hate to be seen, perhaps in large part due to those issues, so here comes this
on further reflection it isn’t all that different from this idea except i spent substantially less time drawing it and no longer share a bathroom with other people’s toothbrushes
Today’s might have communicated its message better if i showed the creature driving and going to a store to obtain the potion ingredients and emphasizing how it fares poorly when seen amidst doing that, but I have shown that before also! It didn’t communicate its point well but they never do. I would almost hate to break from tradition if I knew how.
this is just the sort of non-divisive, clear-purposed thing i need to put on my you tube page after inexplicably reaching more people than usual with the last one
unfortunately this still isn’t as funny to me as a regular insultinator but i had to see it to know.
The GALL of that DUMB little machine calling anyone else “obNOXious” makes me laugh just to think about. i tried to imitate its inflection as much as possible but it does not suit some of these words. By the end it turned into something that wasn’t quite anything, as often occurs.
An earlier version of this just showed pictures of that one person’s hand pressing the buttons and then two other dorks holding the things up while pressing buttons but i could not get a reply from one (the other had seemingly been missing for quite some time) and once i replaced that person i decided to replace all the stolen clips except for the initial one that establishes how the actual device works. i never got a reply from that person either but since I have only stolen video of his hand i am less paranoid about causing problems.
I also did not in my requests clarify that I don’t actually think these are good or valid insults. Because i thought it was obvious. Even though I consistently and constantly overestimate anyone’s ability to have any idea why I do anything. Especially just the sort of people who would think these insults were good would also think a machine which emits such insults would be good.
And stupider me, I forgot that there is an actual doom level with a large iconic object that shouts something weird then shoots out monsters that most casual players of doom would be familiar with, and I could have just pasted the insultinator graphics over that, though it wouldn’t have hitler sky visible. Ideally the hellknights’ lawyers won’t send me any threatening letters about this like the last time I deployed sky hitlers.
march seems to be unofficial pathetic snake month. which counterintuitively means the creature must fare worse than usual since its existence is dependent on it having negative experiences
as usual, based on a few different people who remind me of each other. and as usual the snake is meant to be laughed at rather than with. I thought that was obvious, but I have very little grasp on what is obvious, “obviously”
another item based on my experience of not feeling like i belong anywhere. I shoddily added the first “frame” after the other two when i felt like, as usual, I was failing to put forth the intended point with the initial upload, but that the layout for a change allowed me a chance to also fail at rectifying.
the POINT: is my taste too old? No, because taste older than mine is still being imposed both by the same entities who did when i was a child and also by newer ones now younger than me, and sometimes even are paid to do it. Taste is subjective and can be neither “correct” nor “wrong.”
maybe THAT should be the comic strip, but that sort of thing is not funny to me! Stern didacticism pretending to be comics is something that I make more annoyed comics about that i have to over explain afterward.
as often happens, i am not entirely sure who i am angry at. actual personal acquaintances? contemporary media saturation? magazines publishing pompous lists to proclaim that human creativity peaked six decades ago? internet dorks my age or less? but complaining, even in a way that appeals to no one, theoretically helps me be less bothered, at least for a little while.
point of view: being kidnapped by Mr. Clean
“loving hands” refers not only to his love of using hands to commit crime, but also his strong platonic fondness of a clean getaway
does it really count as a “recipe” if the instructions are essentially “follow instructions?” If they can be summarized by “see title?” Is it just not permissible to have blank, nonsense-information-free space on a product label?
I have beef stew
I have biscuits
but how can i get beef stew OVER biscuits?
WELL it goes like this:
get your beef stew
get your biscuits
put the beef stew over the biscuits
I refuse!
several page bits of this
the comic strip prologue sketched in 2016 i finally took the effort to sort out and place in the actual comic strip section
there are probably yet details to be cleared up on it. Do let me know if anything seems particularly objectionable and I will be sure to leave it unchanged.
steve moraff’s vision comes ever closer to reality. In a sense we are all “super entrap”ped by our kind’s environmental ravaging and pillaging.
