A man with dark hair is sinking into an endless field of brown, churned terrain (the world turned to chocolate cake), reaching up with one arm. An off-panel voice asks "What's happening?!" He cries out that they started an AI with a child's mind to train it, but it got loose while still a child and is replicating and turning the entire world into chocolate cake, nothing but chocolate cake. A caption reads: "Among AI theorists, this is known as the 'Brown Goo Scenario.'" (a play on the 'gray goo' nanotech doomsday scenario). Votey: a crudely drawn grinning face with a watering eye says "This is so great."
