Three-panel strip. Top panel, captioned “What they tell us AI labs look like…”: two panicked scientists in lab coats, a green dragon-like creature and a girl with glasses, stare at an empty open box on a small table under the lettering “The agents have escaped!!!” Bottom left, captioned “What they actually look like.”: a rumpled man in a headset at a cluttered desk, holding an energy drink, says “So we sold more storage than we can deliver… just build another data center!” Bottom right: a close-up of the same man, scowling, says “Don’t go cheap on me now.”
