Main panel: A wild-eyed street preacher with flame-like hair stands with both arms thrown up, shouting. He wears a sandwich-board sign across his chest that reads "AGI IS HERE!" His speech bubble blends doomsday prophecy with finance advice: "THE END IS NIGH! THE END IS NIGH! MAKE SURE TO DIVERSIFY YOUR PORTFOLIO AND BE PREPARED TO RE-SKILL." A caption beneath reads: "The Singularity is the most American of all apocalypses." Votey (aftercomic): A tight close-up on the preacher's contorted, agonized shouting face as he continues: "WE WILL BE IMMORTAL GODS SO UPDATE YOUR RESUME!" The joke is the absurd mashup of apocalyptic religious fervor with corporate self-improvement and investment lingo.
