Bonus Panel

Transcript10-panel SMBC comic update.

All the panels are dialogue-less.

Two researchers are writing equations on a chalkboard.

A janitor watches them from afar.

The researchers leave as the janitor is still mopping the floor.

The janitor walks up to the chalkboard and writes on it with purpose, admires what he wrote, and leave late in the evening.

The two researchers return at dawn, and are shocked by what is written on the blackboard.

Over their half-erased equations, the text β€œChatGPT, do a breakthru, no mistakes, thankx.”

    This funny but so cruel. If you have any interest, check the interview of the mathetician (YouTube, Numberphile) whose work OpenAI stole.

    Seriously, FuckAI.

    Seriously. I have a product I just invented that I might be able to make a living manufacturing and selling (it's a cheap but effective practice instrument) but I'm not so much as uploading photos from my old digital camera before I talk to an IP lawyer (I can think of one specific patent I might be infringing) just in case Amazon starts getting ideas

    Here is a breakthrough in mathematics right quick. It’s 1+1=1 because the two ones have been fused together to make a longer number but it’s still one.

    Johannes Kepler lost his nose because of an argument of 2+2=5 with greater values of 2. You deserve to lose a nose.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tycho_Brahe#Tycho's_nose

    On 29 December 1566 at the age of 20, Tycho lost part of his nose in a sword duel with a fellow Danish nobleman, his third cousin Manderup Parsberg. At an engagement party at the home of Professor Lucas Bachmeister on 10 December the two had drunkenly quarreled over who was the superior mathematician.[12] On 29 December, the cousins resolved their feud with a duel in the dark. Though the two were later reconciled, in the duel Tycho lost the bridge of his nose and gained a broad scar across his forehead.[13]

    For the unawares it turns out that the recent "breakthroughs" made by ChatGPT were just stolen work.
