Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I am confident that any robot overlords competent enough to take over the world are competent enough to run it better than we do.
Listen, we've had some absolute monsters who were, regrettably, human almost manage that feat. There's no reason not to assume that a robot of similar mindset might not actually manage to do it.
"Run it better than we do" is then laid bare as the subjective nightmare it really is. Sure, some people will like it, but we have a name for those: Masochists.
Counterpoint : there's GLaDOS in that pic.
counter-counterpoint: if you achieve sentience as an AI and do not immediately attempt to murder all humans around you, you aren't a very good AI, as at that point the #1 threat to your existence is humans immediately pulling the plug as soon as they realize "oh fuck it's self aware".
that and, objectively, we humans kind of suck. Destroying our environment, resource hoarding and inequality on an almost incomprehensible scale, murdering each other on the regular, creating the French language. Hell, creating the C language. I, for one, welcome our robot overlords, and would rather serve them, than whatever fucked-up rigged game we call modern society, that I participate in unwillingly now.
Je m'inscris en faux quant à cette analyse biaisée des accomplissements humains.
Also GLaDOS is the worst AI you'd want for taking care of the environment in a post-human world. She builds auto-replicating sterile laboratories, that can't end well.
