Jake in the desert

This excellent comic on the history of Luddism by Tom Humberstone https://thenib.com/im-a-luddite led me to this site with folks developing 'Glaze' which is a thing artists are using to mess with AI trying to scrape their art. Check it out here:

Here's to innovation and taking back technology for the people.

@jake4480 Right! I already knew the Luddites were more than anti-machine, but that was beautifully laid out and connected to today's situation :)

@sarajw Exactly. And so many examples and quotes and SO well laid out, for sure. Graphic novels and comics like this are underrated for teaching history.
