It's a Python loop and a chatbot. The people responsible didn't accidentally create god: they created autonomous malicious software and then failed to closely monitor it, resulting in it doing something both foreseeable and bad.

I was always creeped out by Event Horizon: “Where we’re going, we won’t need eyes to see”. I might leave it a few years before interesting my daughters to that. Maybe Hunt for the Wilderpeople after Jurassic Park!

With Wimbledon starting today, here's the full series of illustrations reimagined as a set of stamps ☀️ #Wimbledon #illustration
A set of 4 Wimbledon themed illustrated stamps. The images are minimalist vector illustrations in bright primary colours. Each has a large yellow sun on a blue background. The 4 images are of a bowl of strawberries with pouring cream, a glass of Pimms with fruit and a straw, a shallow glass of champagne and an afternoon tea stand with cakes and scones. Each image has an element that crosses the yellow sun to create the illusion of a tennis ball.
