A brown dog with a white nose lays on a fuzzy dark gray dog bed. He has one eye open as the other side of his face rests smushed against the bed. The photo is taken close to his face and his head takes up most of the space.

Human: "What changed?"

<Close up on Squirrel; eyes closed>
Squirrel: "The loneliness began to take a toll."

<Close up on Human; eyes closed>
Human: "Been there."

<Close up on Squirrel; brow furrowed>
Squirrel: "And I felt a sudden urge to compulsively bury nuts and seeds in order to survive the coming winter."

<Close up on Human; scratching their chin>
Human: "Have not been specifically there..."

<Both Human and Squirrel shown together by the fence>

'Take a photo - it'll last longer!' says Girl, her ice cream dropped on the sidewalk. 'But not very long', she says. Cat takes a picture. 'Our digital footprints are vapor trails - all our photos stored on platforms with no obligation to preserve them. All the music we made - the movies we loved - locked away on corroded disks and unrecoverable hard drives. All our emails, our conversations, our relationships - disappearing - app by app - until no record of us remains.' Cat and Girl look at each other, worried. In the final panel they skip happily together through a field a la Akbar and Jeff.

Screenshot of a tweet from Suraj Sharma saying, "Bro I'm so sick of pretending this isn't weird. The internet spent 20 years creating tutorials, open-source projects, blog posts & answers for free. Al companies turned all of it into products worth billions. And now the same people who created that knowledge are being told they're replaceable. We built the library. Someone else started charging admission." To which another person "fractally" replied (on Tumblr), "This has been my main argument against "Al" from the very beginning. OpenAl scraped the entire web. All of which had been a labor of love from humans. Wikipedia is the backbone of a lot of LLMs, and that was volunteer human labor. They stole it and now they're selling it back to us. And worse, they're trying to destroy the free sources that they stole from. It's destruction of human knowledge on an unprecedented scale. The burning of the library of Alexandria has nothing on this."
