A man in a suit and glasses leans toward a woman seated across from him, whose back is to us. He says, "The good news, Madame President, is that there won't be an AI apocalypse." A caption beneath the panel reads, "Worldwide nuclear war had some serious upsides." The joke: the AI threat is averted only because nuclear war already destroyed civilization. Votey: a roughly sketched robot face grins beneath the word "GREAT!", apparently pleased about this outcome.
