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

Oh I completely agree that we are turning everything to shit in about a million different ways. And as oligarchs take over more, while AI is a huge money-maker, I can totally see regulation around it being scarce or entirely non-existent. So as it's introduced into areas like the DoD, health, transportation, crime, etc., it's going to be sold to the government first and it's ramifications considered second. This has also been my experience as someone working in the intersection of AI research and government application. I immediately saw Elon's companies, employees, and tech immediately get contracts without consultation by FFRDCs or competition by other for-profit entities. I've also seen people on the ground say "I'm not going to use this unless I can trust the output."
I'm much more on the side of "technology isn't inherently bad, but our application of it can be." Of course that can also be argued against with technology like atom bombs or whatever but I lean much more on that side.
Anyway, I really didn't miss the point. I just wanted to share an interesting research result that this comic reminded me of.
