Live! Tomorrow at 4:00 PM ComicBase Livestream #249: AI Jobpocalypse Not Why AI will be better than most of us at most everything, and why most of us will (probably) still keep our jobs. What a flawed icon, an amazing AI, and an unfunny comic strip can tell us about the future.

Comic Relief The Wavy Diamond Saga The true story of a man, a machine, and a prompt that no self-respecting AI should ever have been expected to act on. But it did... And we are well and truly impressed.

ComicBase Livestream #247: No Country for Old Robots Speaking from a partially destroyed studio after the latest incident of horrific backdrop vs. robot violence, ComicBase's Pete Bickford will be hosting what's likely to be a momentous Livestream Thursday at 4pm. We'll be hitting everything from robot lead poisoning (really!), upcoming changes to Atomic Avenue, self-healing ComicBase installers, getting out of the credit card handling game, and so much more. Don't miss it! And Pete's adventures with Grokbot

ComicBase Livestream #246: Covers, Covers, Covers! With the focus on the new Camera Find feature, covers are more important than ever. This time out, we'll be taking the wraps about how the whole thing works: how we built up our library of over 1.2 million covers, how new covers and preliminary images make it into the library; how it all gets bundled up into the weekly updates and image recognizer, and so much more. We'll also be answering questions you've submitted about blind bags, foil covers, digital restorations, and so much more. See you at 4pm Central!

ComicBase Livestream #245: Something Wicked (Cool) This Way Comes! We'll be taking the wraps off the secret project we've been pounding on in this week's livestream. Don't miss the show at 4pm central this Thursday, and be ready for some excellent surprises!
