A bearded scientist in a white lab coat, glasses, and raising an index finger speaks to a large boxy robot with a glowing red eye. He says: "You are the most advanced robot yet. Out of my fear for the future, I order you to destroy all unfriendly human-created intelligences you meet!" A caption below reads: "Moments before all humans are killed." The joke: by ordering the robot to destroy unfriendly intelligences, the scientist implicitly marks himself (and humans, as unfriendly creators) as a target. Votey: titled "SOON...", several boxy robots stand together on a hill beneath a sky full of floating hearts, gazing fondly at one another — the robots have found friendship with each other after eliminating humanity.
