Cartoon showing a street in the rain. A man on a bike is delivering food, while another courier is delivering packages from Amazon. Two other workers are collecting garbage. Inside one of the houses on the street, we see robots labeled 'AI' sitting dry and warm, engaged in making a paining, playing the violin and writing.

Nice!

Only issue here, if I can share a constructive criticism, is that #robots should have proper trademarks over the head.

#Microsoft #OpenAI #Google and so forth...

That is: it's not robots who are enslaving people, but US #BigTech corporations. And they were doing so even before #GenAI was a thing.

You might object that such corporations are just legal proxies to billionaries but if you put #Musk's face, or #Gates' face or even #Altman's face on the robot, it would have just turned into an #Epstein themed panel.
And you'd be right!

Call it #AI, #LLM, agent, bot or just statistically programmed software, it's merely a weapon of oppression wielded by the wealthy against everyone else.
