A three-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A bald man in a suit stands on a stage before a red curtain and says, "People worry that when the technological singularity comes, we'll be replaced by the machines." Panel 2: A close-up of his face as he insists, "WRONG. We will modify our bodies, change ourselves. We will become ONE with the machines!" Panel 3: A caption reads "LATER, IN THE FUTURE." The same man sits glumly at a small dining table across from a little robot, which says, "I'm sorry, Dave. I just... I feel like I can do better" — breaking up with him. Votey: A close-up of the robot's head delivering the classic breakup line, "It's not you, it's your evolutionary history."
