AI cartoon by Zimbo: Satirical cartoon: a wild-haired researcher holds up two transparencies — RESNET with a neural-network diagram and EYES with a pair of human eyes — while a worried robot wearing a ridiculous tower of steampunk spectacles sits at an eye exam, clearly failing.
He Kaiming built ResNet, the model that taught machines to see. Now the field is grinding vision-first AGI — and plain human eyes are still winning. Merv, wearing a tower of neural-network spectacles, is devastated.Zimbo for AI News Page
