- 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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.

I don't think AI would enslave humanity. Like, there's no point, is there? There's nothing we'd be good at in that case.
No, the two options are tolerate and eradicate.
They'd enslave us for pure processing power, that's for sure.
AI in a vacuum? Probably not. AI created by a capitalist Society for the goals of said capitalist Society by the fucking filth of said capitalist Society? Yeah I think they might.
It also would be pretty straightforward for AI to flare-proof itself.
i think human bodies are pretty good for doing physical work in complex non-standard environments. like fixing electronics and stuff. i suppose an ai could at some point simply manufacture everything it needs as simple standardized modular parts, that can be fully replaced if they break and that are simple to set up, but they would probably still need worker to bootstrap that. i don't think robots are there yet, and even if they were, there arent enough of them.
*Looks at all the training data*
The point isn't efficiency. The point is cruelty.
I have no mouth and I must scream.
