Latest strip: 244 – Friday, February 20, 2026
Current story arc: Idiocraception – chapter: Naught But Cowbell
Adil: I have listened to some other songs in the hit charts, it is all awful. Most of it is just a beat with a single repeating tone. If there is anything that could be considered vocals, it is someone saying “AAAAAA” which is then auto-tuned to random pitches.
Max: So, we can declare future music dead. What about TV series?
Adil: A lot of the popular things I have previewed, look like mind-numbing A.I. slop.
Max: Strange… I have not seen evidence that they have come close to reaching the level of generative A.I. as we know it.
Zhang: Maybe that Ultrax guy or collective, or whoever makes all this crap, does have access to a working old datacenter?
Max: It would be interesting to check them out… but let's first see whether Heidi has made any progress with her tech shopping spree.
