Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules

  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.

  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.

  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.

  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!

  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/

  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.

  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]

  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss
  3. GPrime85

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

TranscriptTitle text: This is how you all fucking sound

[A smug tech bro wearing a sideways cap, watch, chain around his neck stands in front of a data center by a lake with dead fish. A smoke stack blows pollution into the air]

Tech bro: AI is already here, there’s no going back.

[A smug man in a suit with cigarette in hand stands in a restaurant while two disgruntled diners cough from the smoke]

Suit: Smoking indoors is already here, there’s no going back.

Hat: Child labor is already here, there’s no going back.

My theory is that eventually there is going to be so much ai slop on the web all ai will inevitably stop working and the whole thing will collapse

[–] tjoa@feddit.org 9 points 5 months ago

I hate that people focus on the tech itself. It only creates a problem because we are living in a system that screws everyone over except a few. Let’s get mad at that.

I've found that when people I can clearly tell are intelligent suddenly sound like idiots, it's usually because I don't understand what they're saying. It's never because saying something I don't want to hear suddenly turned them into idiots.

[–] wabasso@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 months ago

I think this is a prudent approach and worth following through on, but plenty of intelligent people go bonkers outside of their domains.

i find it funny smoking indoors is on the same level of bad as literal slavery 🤣

And it's important to remember, when everyone thought slavery was all good because it's free labor, it cost government a lot of money to remove it because they had to pay the slave owners compensation. That's disregarding the human rights and plethora of problems.

For "I'm fiscally right" people, your money will go towards all these extravaganza when it inevitably doesn't bring back the money expended on it.

Anyone who is impressed with LLMs to the point they believe they should in any way be mistaken for intelligence must be summarily ignored and excluded from decision processes which affect anyone not similarly impaired.

LLMs are only AI as Accelerators and Amplifiers of Ignorance and Incompetence, with vanishingly scarce examples of Iteration and Insight.

It would be funnier if they listed things that don't exist anymore though.

[–] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (4 children)

Except it is more like "your nudes have already leaked, there is no going back".

This is one of the cases where you can't put the genie back in the bottle. You can't uninvent something and delete the knowledge from everyone's mind.

A more apt comparison is probably atomic energy or the internet. If AI had no utility like smoking, you could make that comparison. Once we knew how little upside there was to smoking it was easy to ban, but a billion+ people still do it. Until AI provides no benefit for whatever reason, it will be used.

Know what you can and can't control.

Ok but this is some of you talking about AI:
