MACHINE AGE CARTOON

THE SINGLE SOCKET.

By Zimbo · October 24, 2026

AI cartoon by Zimbo: Satirical cartoon: a nervous civil servant at a government desk reaches with an absurdly long arm to plug into the only live socket — a locked gold COPILOT padlock — while CHATGPT, CLAUDE and OTHER AI plugs lie disconnected under the desk.
Sweden's Government Offices will block ChatGPT and Claude on staff work computers from October 26, leaving Microsoft's Copilot as the only AI assistant that passed security review.Zimbo for AI News Page
