Latest comic. A British consumer rights group examined unnecessary data harvesting by “smart” devices, including air fryers connected to phone apps. While these devices may not pose the greatest privacy risk in our everyday lives, they are part of a growing Internet of Things capable of collecting data when and where we least expect it.

BIG FRYER IS WATCHING

TRUE: UK RESEARCHERS RECENTLY FOUND THAT CERTAIN BRANDS OF AIR FRYERS ARE COLLECTING CONSUMER DATA

I've had this #cartoon in my files for decades. It's no longer a cartoon but the reality many Americans voted for.

Jonik cartoon: The American people have spoken.
Two men at a podium wearing armbands with dollar signs.
The gathered crowd shout and carry signs like: We want dirtier air and water so CEOs can make more money! Send our jobs overseas! Stop giving us benefits from our tax money! Give our forests to the timber companies now! Yes to costly healthcare! Please tap our computer messages! Limit our internet freedom! Pave our farmlands! No laws for industry! Don't tell us what's in our food! Give us E-coli burgers! More celebrity news!

EXECUTIVE WITH PRIVATE JET IN BACKGROUND - NOT A PROBLEM AT MY PRIVATE OFFSHORE PARTY COMPOUND!

3. IN SOUTH MEMPHIS, A NEW AI DATA CENTER RUNS ON METHANE GAS GENERATORS THAT SPEW POLLUTION-AND THIS NEIGHBORHOOD ALREADY HAD BAD AIR QUALITY.

EXECUTIVE CLIMBING STEPS ONTO PLANE - A SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR A CHATBOT THAT SWEARS!

Latest comic: AI gone MAD

AI GONE MAD

1. AI has been feeding on the creative efforts of humans for a while.

We provide "grass" for this hungry digital bovine. Shown: pixelated cow labeled COWGPT

2. But as the internet increasingly becomes filled with AI-generated content, AI is consuming itself.

Researchers at Rice University have compared the resulting data corruption to mad cow disease, spread by cows eating other cows.

Cow eating ground up cow with hoof sticking out

3. They say "without enough fresh real data, future generative models are doomed to madness." (Model Autophagy Disorder)

Cows eating other cows, devolving into multiple legged three eyed AI cows

4. Is this really the dream of the future? A diseased digital brain full of misfolded data prions leading us to certain death?

1990s - Woman using Netscape Navigator: The whole world is connected!

Soon - Waking away from laptop as frothing cow emerges from screen: I think I'll read a book.
