By Zimbo · October 13, 2026

AI cartoon by Zimbo: Sunday strip: Jack Clark — 2010 ZDNet reporter at server racks; 2014 Bloomberg neural-net specialist; 2016 OpenAI policy director with Import AI; 2021 co-founds Anthropic; finale: Clark and Dario Amodei at a lookout in a megaphone-topped sedan, gazing at a PUBLIC BENEFIT valley.
Jack Clark reported the machinery under the internet at ZDNet, became Bloomberg's neural-network specialist, then walked inside the lab: OpenAI policy director, Anthropic co-founder, now running the Anthropic Institute. The man who reported AI, then built it — in six panels.Zimbo for AI News Page
