What is happening here? Is this bots talking to bots in the comments? What is this art? I'm so confused.

[-] DashboTreeFrog@discuss.online 52 points 2 months ago

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.

There's a paywall on that article

[-] DashboTreeFrog@discuss.online 3 points 2 months ago

Huh, I didn't get blocked, maybe cause of NoScript or my VPN

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

[-] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] z500@startrek.website 2 points 2 months ago

There's a bit more context in the full comics on the web site

[-] Texas_Hangover@lemy.lol 3 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Mojave@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

"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

I'm still not getting it..

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 months ago

Welcome, join the club.

No, the confusion will never leave but rather its why you will come back for more.

[-] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

Fine...but only cause you told me to

When you confuse Al with AI

He'd be very happy to be dead. Samesies

This is the moment Elmo jumped the shark.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 11 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] pieguy 10 points 2 months ago

The sun is shocked, absolutely shocked, I say!

[-] pmjv 13 points 2 months ago

I have a slight suspicion that it actually enjoys violence.

[-] pieguy 8 points 2 months ago

Well it is known to emit radiation that messes with electronics. That must be very violent for our surreal friends!

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] wesker 8 points 2 months ago

Hey man nice shot. Good shot man.
