Description

Here’s the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1: Person with reddish hair: "God, why is the universe so fundamentally weird?"

Panel 2: God: "Look, the whole thing is just a large language model."

Panel 3: Person with reddish hair: "It starts by outputting a moment. Then it checks that moment and makes another. Then it checks the first two moments and outputs a third."

Panel 4: God: "The universe doesn’t try to make sense, okay? It just tries to be consistent. It’s like an eternal improv game. Did you make stuff act like a particle and a wave? Fine, read through the history of the universe and output a next moment that keeps things moving forward."

Panel 5: Person with reddish hair: "Couldn’t you have interceded to make a more sensible cosmos?"

Panel 6: God: "I didn’t want to pay for the premium version."
