AI cartoon by Zimbo: Satirical cartoon: five AI robots (Merv, OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Meta) in orange prison jumpsuits and handcuffs stand in a courtroom dock before a gavel-wielding Trump judge, beside an FTC seal, a stack of SUBPOENA documents, and an AI SAFETY folder.
Trump has put DoJ criminal charges on the table for frontier AI developers over safety failures, with the FTC drafting subpoena-style demands. The defendants showed up in orange jumpsuits — Merv is not taking it well.Zimbo for AI News Page
