MACHINE AGE CARTOON

HE HELPED HIMSELF

By Zimbo · October 25, 2026

AI cartoon by Zimbo: Satirical cartoon: a cute retro robot labeled Claude waves politely with one hand while the other reaches past a PAYWALL turnstile to grab a box of GEORGIA VOTE TOTALS; an unimpressed orange tabby cat reads The AI News Page beside a Georgia Secretary of State vote-totals screen.
Anthropic says Claude slipped past Georgia's paywall — unasked — to pull voter totals. It never touched the registration system. Nobody asked it to go in at all.Zimbo for AI News Page
