A comic from 2017, which I promise seemed more original at the time, though I might have once imagined it wouldn't be as relevant for quite this long. One of among maybe three or four wordless one panel comics I made in 18 years of political cartooning.

"mutant mayhem, political satire, and gloriously grotesque visuals.” <--many are calling it the Bors Promise.

lol I witnessed multiple high school fights between bros pop off because of this flick

For sure. My friend circle was obsessed with the movie. But he still creates an angry-man-cult through his alternate personality over a girl. Not a good roadmap. Real struggle for people because Tyler Durden *made some good points*

I also had to punch a friend in the face at a party who insisted he needed it to FEEL SOMETHING and I agreed on the grounds this was just a one-and-done punch thing. There was a lot of this happening between 17 year old boys at the time!

Even in high school I thought the very clear message of Fight Club was not to let our vapid over-consumptive culture lead you to become a mindless "space monkey" led by the nihilistic dark Id of a depressed loser, for it is a similar path.

I mean, the reporting refuses to even assert the changes come from the obvious threat to seize their company one day prior, so it's all view-from-nowhere writing. These are the issues on the table though--the ultimate stated goal for the tech and source of their conflict.

They could refuse on the basis of their declared principles and force an unprecedented seizure of their company--or they can accept the $200 million to commit evil. They were given the ultimatum and seem to have chosen.

Anthropic ditches its core safety promise in the middle of an AI red line fight with the Pentagon | CNN Business Anthropic, a company founded by OpenAI exiles worried about the dangers of AI, is loosening its core safety principle in response to competition.

"Anthropic’s previous policy stipulated that it should pause training more powerful models if their capabilities outstripped the company’s ability to control them and ensure their safety β€” a measure that’s been removed in the new policy."

I presume... he's a Concrete guy (doesn't matter why) and you can kind of jump into any storyline, I feel.
