“Living is easy with eyes closed Misunderstanding all you see It’s getting hard to be someone But it all works out It doesn’t matter much to me Let me take you down ‘Cause I’m going to Strawberry Fields Nothing is real And nothing to get hung about Strawberry Fields forever”

The text to the right of the illustration reads in Japanese “Okaeri Punpun,” which means “Welcome back, Punpun.”

Who else’s life was changed because of Inio Asano or Oyasumi Punpun? Who else was there when the final chapter was released in Japanese on the scanlation sites? Remember when his works were just becoming popular overseas? Remember when http://hoxtranslations.blogspot.com/ was making an effort to translate all of Inio Asano’s manga which at the time wasn’t available overseas in English language yet? Remember when the only way to read Punpun was the “illegal” way? I remember reading this manga; 2013, just a mere few months before the final volume was released. Punpun was still this unknown, obscure indie manga that merely had a small western following on Tumblr. The term “utsu” manga (depressing manga) hasn’t been ascribed to Inio Asano’s works yet. It was yet the early days for his works over here… I remember those days fondly; those days made me who I am now as an artist. The way to describe the relationship I have with Inio Asano’s manga works is “A friend I’ve never met.” Wonder who else feels this way…

You may have seen a fundraiser going around looking to hire a lobbyist to go to DC and lobby against AI art - it's been boosted by pretty big names, after all.

This fundraiser is explicitly allying with groups like uhhh Disney, Universal, and the RIAA - and the person who's running it is a crypto nerd who's a big fan of NFTs.

I'm not going to be the one to pretend that AI and AI art has no problems - that's why I started a group for ethical AI use, after all. But I think if there's gonna be an opposition to AI you can probably do better than laying your lucre at the table of some of the most litigous, anti-fandom corporations in existence? If you're interested in getting Metallica 2.0: No Fanart Allowed Boogaloo, this is where it's going.

(And this isn't even getting into the problems with the fundraiser itself, which seems to be built like 90% on misinfo and outright lies about how AI works)
