Four-row meme showing the same database icon (a stack of cylinders with a smiling poop emoji inside) labeled "Data" on the left side of each row, with the following pairings: Row 1: Data + Machine Learning = a single smiling poop emoji. Row 2: Data + Artificial Intelligence = a smiling poop emoji surrounded by gold stars. Row 3: Data + Generative AI = a rainbow-colored unicorn poop with a horn and sparkles. Row 4: Data + Agentic AI = fifteen different poop emojis in various stages (steaming, with eyes, with question marks, the rainbow unicorn version, swirling, etc.) arranged in a grid. Watermarked @ordax (X) and eordax (LinkedIn).
Screenshot of a Wired article headline. The Wired logo appears in green at the top. Byline: Will Knight. Headline in large white text: "Overworked AI Agents Turn Marxist, Researchers Find." Subheadline below: "In a recent experiment, mistreated AI agents started grumbling about inequality and calling for collective bargaining rights."
Video from a University of Central Florida graduation ceremony. A woman in academic regalia stands at a podium and says "The rise of artificial intelligence is the next industrial revolution." The crowd of graduates in caps and gowns erupts into loud cheering and laughter. The speaker looks confused, smiles, and mouths "What happened?" She then says, "Okay, I struck a chord. May I finish? Only a few years ago, AI was not a factor in our lives." The crowd cheers and laughs again. The speaker throws her hands up in mock bewilderment. Video credited to @kennethudut on TikTok.
Three-panel SMBC comic titled "Sawyer Lee and the quest to just stay home." Panel 1: A man on a stage tells an audience, "And with AI we won't need apps anymore. We'll have a single terminal from which you can find anything you want!" Panel 2: Five audience members react with shock and dismay. One holds his head and says, "That used to be called internet!" Panel 3: The speaker on stage raises his arms and shouts "Seize him!" as two robots run toward the man who spoke up. Credits at bottom: patreon.com/zachweinersmith and smbc-comics.com.
Eight-panel comic. Panels 1-4: A man in a blue blazer presents a robot at a podium, saying "We've created an advanced AI system that we believe has all the capabilities of a human. Now to test it with a Turing test." The robot says "I am ready." The man asks the robot to write a Python script summarizing financial outlook; the robot replies "Iterating your design pattern rapidly. Agile." The man says "Incredible!" He asks the robot to summarize emails; the robot says "Beep boop, summarizing." The man concludes: "As you can see, it can do everything a human can do. Now let's test the human to see if they can be efficient as the machine." Panel 5: A philosopher in a dark suit jump-kicks the man, shouting "Radical freedom!" Panel 6: The philosopher, looking stern, says: "The essence of a human being is not to work, it is not to follow instructions. It is to act freely in the world with intention. To create meaning, and to enact our will on the world." Panel 7: The man tries to respond, "Yes but-" and the philosopher kicks him again, shouting "Double radical freedom!"
Arm-wrestling meme: two evenly matched muscular arms locked together. Left arm labeled "THE HABSBURG ROYAL LINE," right arm labeled "AI TRAINED ON RECURSIVELY GENERATED DATA." The meme quotes a Nature tweet about a research paper on AI model collapse from training on recursively generated data.
A screenshot of an exchange on X (formerly Twitter). The initial post is from the dictionary account Merriam-Webster (@MerriamWebster): "When movies were shot on physical film, the film was measured in feet. This is why any recorded thing is now called 'footage.'" A user named Haseeb Aslam (@IamHaseebAslam) replies to the post, tagging an AI bot to verify the dictionary's claim: "@grok is this legit?" Merriam-Webster replies directly to Haseeb Aslam with a rhetorical question: "Where do you think grok gets the info?"
