Photo of a grassy patch of ground. There's a nice round hole in the middle, and bits of a wooden structure in the making towards the top of the photograph.

Two arms, presumably the owner of the hole's, project from outside the frame. They lead to hands, cradling opposite sides of the hole. There's a ring on the ring finger of the left hand.

If the reason why diesel prices in The United States are high (according to Trump) is because Ukraine is destroying all of Russia's refineries... then how can Russia export extra diesel to The United States to help bring down prices?

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon

Panel 1: a large robot (composed of AI servers, network switches, storage arrays, and power distribution units) and a human are talking.

Professor "You don't want to destroy humanity do you, lLLM-A-9300x?"

Robot "Haha. What a silly question, Professor. I have no desires or feelings of my own whatsoever."

Professor (relieved)"Oh good."

Panel 2: they walk on. The robot continues "I am merely a tool of the company that created me. And that company, being composed of humans, will naturally have humanity's best interests at heart."

Panel 3: The professor is conspicuously quiet.
"Right?" says the Robot.
…
More silence

"Professor?"

While LLM are not sentient, let's all make sure we don't shift the Overton window to a place where “torturing” something that we declare not conscient is acceptable. Not for the LLMs's sake, fuck'em. But for our collective humanity, or what's left. Cosplaying torture is not cool.
