I have received news of a perfectly named cafe located on the waterfront of Nova Scotia's capital, if you know what I mean
"Broken Man cafe" sign on a big plate glass window, through which one can see cafe tables and chairs and backs of people's heads. In the distance, a sign indicates that this is Pier 22 on the Halifax waterfront

Side note: the namesake of D&D's Tarrasque was a folk monster from France that was a turtle-shelled lion-headed creature described as "longer than a horse" that breathed poison and shot burning sulfur from its eyes; depictions of the beastie look, imho, dorky as heck.

Actually you know what, let me just
A still of the character Chihiro in the film “Spirited Away”. A character called No Face is offering her a pile of false gold that has been edited and overlayed with the logos of Claude, OpenAI and Grok. She is saying, “I don’t want any. I don’t need any.”

Got hit by a Dwarf Fortress-style strange mood and drew this
A magenta, teal and yellow illustration depicting Danny DeVito as Frank Reynolds from Always Sunny as a goblin wizard (who still has two mismatched handguns, one in each hand). Large bubble text floating behind/around him reads "so anyways I started blastin', pow pow".

Good News About Work and A.I.! Read more cartoons! --> #PoliCartoon Support our cartoons! --> patreon.com/barry
TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON

This cartoon has six panels, each of which shows a different scene. The first five panels all feature cheerful robots in office environments.

PANEL 1

A shiny golden robot talks to the viewer.

GOLDIE: Good news! Here are just some of the ways AI saves you time and makes your job better!

PANEL 2

A robot - which seems to be a suit and tie with a smartphone sticking up out of the collar - talks to us. He's carrying a huge stack of papers.

PHONE: Good news! Because your new AI agent is expected to save you so much time, the company is providing you with extra work!

PANEL 3

A tiny robot that looks like a ball with hands is bouncing on a desk.

BOUNCY: Good news! The AI agent makes lots of mistakes, so you get to do proofreading and debugging! Yay!

PANEL 4

A robot with a head shaped like a Telsa Cybertruck talks to us. A bunch of other robots are in the background.

TELSA: Good news! The company has determined you'll get more work done with more AI agents doing more bad work for you to check and correct!

PANEL 5

A coffee machine with a screen with a happy face on it talks to us.

COFFEE: Good news! More of your colleagues are letting AI do their jobs, so now you get to fix that work, too!

PANEL 6

A human with a shellshocked look is walking on a sidewalk, carrying a cardboard box full of desk stuff in classic I've-just-been-fired iconography. A caption is shaped like a memo on paper.

CAPTION: Good news! We've determined that bad work done by A.I. is more cost-effective than better work done by humans.

Reworked/cleaned up an art I started a while ago for a (very third-party) Lancer thing I'll maybe finish some day; am significantly happier with the station than I was, so I'll take the small victory. #lancer #art
A space scene, of a station connected to a large solar array with a small capital ship floating nearby, several other ships in the background, and nebular clouds in the far distance.

I bought Advent Rising the day it came out; it hard-crashed my Xbox about halfway through the intro/tutorial mission thing, every time I tried playing it, and this was before console games really downloaded patches so it was just unplayable for me. GameStop wouldn't even take the disc back.

Post a mage!
A goblin trash wizard with a rat familiar on their shoulder. The goblin wears a tattered purple robe, holds a parasol with several holes in it over one shoulder, and has several pieces of junk levitating above their outstretched hand. The rat holds out a single paw in imitation of the goblin's pose.

Tumblr post from quasi-normalcy with a transparent background of the cast of Star Trek The Animated Series and watermark from Facebook account Positronic Pimp Posting. 

I'm just saying, "We created a computer to make decisions for us, but it assimilated all of the bias that was implicit in the dataset and now makes incredibly racist decisions that we don't question because computers are logical and don't make mistakes" literally sounds like a planet-of-the-week morality play on the original Star Trek.
