The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Many workplaces get a bit of a shock when just too much behavior is automated out.

Example; if you heard about the recent wave of theft from department stores like Target, it’s been theorized they wouldn’t have that if the stores had more staff, even if they weren’t working security. Many tech companies have gone way downhill after removing jobs they thought they could automate.

I’ve even told my job, after they encouraged me to use AI for coding multiple times, it’s looked good in demos but has spit out unusable garbage that just briefly “looks” good many times.

Artwork, as in the comic, risks becoming sloppier as models start training off other AI art. And, some hobbyists actually make open repos not visible to humans designed to specifically pollute those AI models - just for fun.

There’s a hidden price to AI, and companies see it when they’re forced into it more and more.

ah, yeah that makes sense to me, together with what another commenter said:

Because workers, and not just bosses, will get a say in where, when, and how technology is introduced. That’s what the Hollywood writers’ strike was largely about, and they won important restrictions on the use of AI, as did the screen actors guild.

explains why an union can keep the management of companies from making short-sighted decisions.
