Description

Here’s the transcription of the comic text:

Panel 1:

• Caption: "FELLOW THEORETICIANS, WE MUST STAND TOGETHER AGAINST LETTING AN ADVANCED AI SOLVE ALL OF PHYSICS!"
• Character 1: "But why?"
• Character 2: "Because all of us believe the universe is fundamentally elegant and simple."

Panel 2:

• Character 2: "That means the final theory is gonna be something like 'there's tiny wobbly cubes.' When the AI spits that out, we are gonna look like morons."

Panel 3:

• Character 2: "Brothers and sisters, do you want to live in a world where sociologists are told their work is complex and interesting and we are out of a job? Do you want to have to treat chemists with respect?!"
• Crowd: "NO! NEVER!"

Panel 4:

• Character 2: "BURN THE DATACENTERS! BURN THEM WHEREVER THEY ARE! BURRRN! BURRRRRRRN!"

Panel 5:

• Character 3: "WAIT, HOW DO WE MAKE FIRE?"
• Character 4: "We can neglect friction, right?"
• Character 5: "Pretty sure, yes."
