Me in a shirt and big hat, having a conversation with a three year old bay draft horse.
The Anakin and Padme meme, Anakin announces he is the new Minister for AI, Padme asks whether it's to protect us from the impact of the AI bubble bursting, but he just stares, strongly implying his goal is to tie us into the AI bubble as strongly as possible.
