A towering, dark ocean wave curls menacingly over two tiny silhouetted figures on a shore. One figure says, "It's a tsunami made entirely of... of..." and the other finishes, "...of Eliezer Yudkowskies." A caption beneath reads: "In an attempt to make world perfect, runaway nanobots convert all mass into AI ethics theorists." The joke: the existential-risk thinker's own worst-case scenario (runaway nanobots) ironically converts everything into copies of him. Votey (aftercomic): The same enormous black wave looms over a single tiny figure on the shore; a speech bubble emerging from the wave reads "WOOOOOOOPSSSSS," the wave sheepishly admitting its mistake.
