A woman with dark curly hair, glasses, a pink top, and a white lab coat gestures toward a large robotic machine while a bald, bearded man in glasses and a lab coat stands behind her. She says: "It's simple really. You have a rule that the robots all get painted different colors. Then you program them to be racist. Bam. They are now as inefficient as we are." A caption below reads: "The solution for AI alignment was not as elegant as we'd hoped." Votey: a hand-drawn smiling face beside the text "In the future, machines will be smart enough to create entirely new realms of bigotry."
