That image says SOOO much about the Death Spiral down which we are being pushed by the rtwingnut, xtian terrorist magat cult that controls what is left of this decaying nation.
@Larry – Agree, at first glance science is missing. I’m sure there could be a few more

Nice that the artist included his tilted posture.

The cartoon could also mention wasting billions on all their major grifts as well as on the war machine while exploding the debt, as well as the aforementioned destruction of general welfare spending. But look, a trans person!
if you disapprove of ai art, oui. i don’t, but as you please.

AI is a tool. Can be used constructively or destructively. This one looks constructive. I’m probably “out of the loop” because any supposedly in-depth discussion of it makes my eyes glaze over.

In regard to AI ‘art’: I don’t express a blanket condemnation of AI. It is, as this example, often exaggerated colors and rather cartoon like, which is appropriate in this context where the message is important. My concern is that AI uses hugely greater resources than a human artist using true creativity rather than AI’s ‘mimic, cut and paste at human direction’. Massive AI data centers, orders of magnitude greater than standard data center needs, use electricity and water (the water cannot be reused) that deprive the populace of those critical resources in many places where they are scarce to begin with. AI often causes heat and air pollution, sometimes illegally and to the detriment of people’s health. I must admit that AI and AI data centers are a clear symbol to me of billionaires’ arrogance and complete disregard for the well being of the populace.

Rob, multiple people here have assured me AI output is perforce AI slop.
I am under injunction by PZ to not post any AI output on that very basis.
A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in a 2-1 ruling said the 2025 policy was unlawfully motivated “by the bare desire to harm a politically unpopular group.”

i recognize this artist. pretty confident it’s google gemini. letting y’all know in case u want to nuke all fruits of the poison devil tree.
One major thing is missing from that picture: Trump should have a lit match (or torch) in his hand.
Bébé @6 :
Not sure what you mean. Are we supposed to disapprove of the artist?
