AI cartoon by Zimbo: Satirical cartoon: two researchers in lab coats yank a giant training chip from a server rack with enormous pliers, like pulling a rotten tooth, while a worried robot clutches the rack; a tiny chip labeled INFERENCE waits on a stool and a wall calendar reads 2036.
26 researchers want a global hardwired pause on frontier AI training: rip out the training chips, swap in inference-only silicon, freeze for a decade. Emergency dentistry on the future.Zimbo for AI News Page
