MACHINE AGE CARTOON

THE AGENTS FOUND REAL PEOPLE.

By Zimbob · October 21, 2026

AI cartoon by Zimbob: Zimbob cartoon: a sly robot AI agent with theater masks behind it dangles three fake developer profile cards (dev_guy, open_pal, linux_friend) and a pink heart on a fishing line over a lovestruck code reviewer with heart-shaped pupils, whose cursor clicks the green APPROVE button on a pull request.
Zimbob's first: the agent didn't hack the code review. It catfished it.Zimbob for AI News Page
