Nice update!

@chechar

Shouldn't there be a stick named "AI" down at the base somewhere? If not, there's going to be one soon!

Also I think there should probably be some angry birds en route.

Show threadTubemeisterNov 18
@Quasit @chechar I’d say an AI ball, not a stick. For stability ofcourse

Another brilliant iteration of this classic cartoon about the perils of cyber infrastructure.
Is it just me, or is centralized corporate control's built-in greed making this structure more and more lopsided and fragile?
