A four-panel black-and-white comic. A red-haired woman in bed proposes something to her dark-haired, bespectacled partner: she wants to try something "a little... different tonight. A little... STOCHASTIC." When the partner says "Huh?", she explains: instead of using a model of reality to select her moves, she wants her partner to "just perform next-token prediction" on her. She then declares, eyes blanked out, "As a LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL, I am about to ROCK YOUR WORLD." In the final panel the partner deadpans, "...immediately. Why are you humping my lamp?" while the red-haired woman, sweating and panicked, cries, "I'M WAY OUT OF DISTRIBUTION! I DON'T HAVE A WAY TO STOP NOW!"
Votey (aftercomic): An extreme close-up of the red-haired woman's face in profile, with a speech bubble from the off-panel partner that reads "KEEP GOING."
