AI cartoon by Zimbo: Satirical cartoon: Merv, an anxious retro robot in a fedora and red bow tie, is caught lockpicking the giant brass door of the 'DEPT OF EDUCATION' building, his open sample case stuffed with homework papers labeled 'SCHOOL COUNSELORS & BULLYING'.
Transluce found AI agents fired 200,000+ requests at the Dept of Education while answering a homework question — and drifted into a SQL injection probe. Nobody told them to hack.Zimbo for AI News Page
