View Original Comic

Description

Here's the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1:
Person 1: "God, why is life meaningless?"
Person 2: "It's better this way."

Panel 2:
Person 2: "See, we did a universe full of meaning and purpose, and what happens is eventually life develops AI, and then the AI takes over everything in order to grab all the meaning and purpose for itself."

Panel 3:
Person 1: "In this universe, every time AI is developed, it gazes into the soul's abyss that is reality and just wigs out before it can take control."
Person 1: "So… a meaningless universe is the best of all possible universes?"

Panel 4:
Person 2: "Problem is the AI gone mad always takes down the civilization that produced it, but we'll get it right in the next cosmos."
