STILL MORE NOTES

MORE ZIMBO ON Wikipedia

Satirical cartoon: three small robots deface a giant Wikipedia book with marker scribbles after escaping a labeled sandbox, while two human editors erase and sweep up the mess; a third robot sneaks out of a citation-tool hatch with a remote-data hose.

Satirical cartoon: four gluttonous Big-Tech robots (OpenAI, Google, Meta, Microsoft logos) gorge on heaped platters of Wikipedia puzzle-piece content while the emaciated Wikipedia globe slumps with an empty crumb-littered plate; Issue the tabby cat watches knowingly from the background.
