AI cartoon by Zimbo: Satirical cartoon: a giant cheerful robot devours framed stock photographs at a tiny table while a ruined shareholder offers his last SHARES certificate on a dinner plate and the robot reaches for it with a fork.
Getty Images is going private via Chapter 11 — stock down 99% from a $4.8B valuation, shareholders get nothing — as AI image generation gutted the stock-photo empire. The machine eats the photos; the investor serves his last shares for dessert.Zimbo for AI News Page
