one should not chase the electric dream, but strive to became an extension to its dreamer
Automatism in the age of the children of Unix.
It's a box of antique photographs. A blade, a girl and a fish. Whatever it means, you're invested.
Now that you're a surrealist, become a Techno-Mage:

What is happening here? Is this bots talking to bots in the comments? What is this art? I'm so confused.
I'm pretty sure it's a reference to the Tesla "robot" showed off at an event that turned out to just be a guy in a suit on top of the other things already mentioned by others.
Wait that's for real? Lol
This is a webcomic / art relating to the FOSS world. OP is the artist and has tons of fucking amazing surreal comics like this. They all take place in a dystopian cyber world where corporate technology oppresses the free tech users
The commenters probably aren't bots, just tech nerds schizo posting
Okay yea I've seen some pretty decent stuff being posted here but never have any context lol
I could see schizo posting rather than bots.
There's a bit more context in the full comics on the web site
What the fuck is happening in the comic tho?
Sniper thought it shot a robot because of the outfit. It wasn't a robot that got shot.
"AI Wars" is likely in reference to big tech companies in real life fighting each other for dominance over the generative AI space. Meta's AI vs Google's Gemini vs OpenAI's ChatGPT etc ...
To me this comic reads as if a personified company AI was actually at war and killing enemy AIs. Except the AI that got shot was secretly a human in disguise
The machine bleeds blue.
I'm still not getting it..
Welcome, join the club.
No, the confusion will never leave but rather its why you will come back for more.
Fine...but only cause you told me to
When you confuse Al with AI
He'd be very happy to be dead. Samesies
They're so lifelike!

This is the moment Elmo jumped the shark.
The Thespian robot (and others) could mirror a human's movement 10 years ago. Even if Optimus is actually mechanical, the recent "interacting with a crowd" video makes it quite obvious there is no AI.
The original mechanical turk prank was better.
...also, if you were really engineering a machine that could mix different drinks it would just be a bunch of pumps and tubes to various ingredients.
Hey man nice shot. Good shot man.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME
The sun is shocked, absolutely shocked, I say!
I have a slight suspicion that it actually enjoys violence.
Well it is known to emit radiation that messes with electronics. That must be very violent for our surreal friends!
