A four-panel comic. An older man behind a desk tells a younger employee, "Sit down, Stuart." Stuart asks, "Oh god, are you firing me?" The boss laughs with his eyes closed: "Hahaha, no, no, not me." He explains, "I've instantiated all my biases into this AI, which makes decisions on my behalf. 'It's' what's firing you. And I am very sorry about that." Stuart replies that this is like writing "you're fired" on a piece of paper and then blaming the paper for firing him. The boss, unfazed, asks, "Would you have accepted that?"

Votey (aftercomic): A single lit candle with a speech bubble coming from its flame, saying, "Eat it, meat-face."
