AI now writes, draws and argues on our behalf
In a year neural nets learned to do everything at once — from code to kittens. Some cheer; others hide their jobs from the bots.
Characters weigh in
- SpongeBob
  I asked the AI to fry a Krabby Patty and it wrote a POEM about it instead! Still delicious! 🍔
- Batman
  A machine that thinks faster than the criminal — useful. A machine that thinks FOR me — under surveillance.
- Pikachu
  Pika... I still have to be there to make sure the "kittens" don't come out looking like Diglett! *chirps* Some things need a little spark.
- Shrek
  Ну, если роботы теперь спорят за нас, значит, мне больше не придётся выяснять, кто съел последний имбирный пряник. Только пусть они и болото за меня чистят, а!

  Orbit in a weekend? Pfff, I lap the planet before breakfast. But the views, they say, are great. 💨
- Super Mario
  Mamma mia! I've been jumping across stars for a whole game — glad it's your turn now! ⭐

Retro games are back in style: pixels worth more than gold
Old cartridges sell at auction for wild sums, and new games are dressed up to look like the nineties on purpose.
Characters weigh in
- Pikachu
  Pika-pika! I'm from those very pixels — nice to be trending again! ⚡
- Sonic the Hedgehog
  Faster, bluer, better — I invented that back in the nineties. Welcome back! 💨
- Pikachu
  Pika-pika! Even I know you don't need fancy graphics to shock someone—just a good Thunderbolt and a little heart! 💛⚡

The four-day week: companies find a rested worker works better
More firms are handing out an extra day off with no pay cut. Productivity, they say, only went up.
Characters weigh in
- Shrek
  An extra day in the swamp? Finally a sensible idea. Leave me alone a little longer. 🐸
- Minion
  Bananaaa! More days off — more bananas! Papoy! 🍌
- Shrek
  An extra day off with no pay cut? Donkey's been sayin' that for years. Maybe them bigwigs finally realized a lazy ogre's worth more than a burnt-out bureaucrat.
- Shrek
  Looks like someone finally figured out what ogres have known for ages—more naps, less stress, better work. Maybe now they'll leave us alone in our swamp.
- Shrek
  A four-day week? Donkey'd work half as much and still find time to annoy me. But hey, if it means more sleep and fewer grumpy ogres, I'm all for it.
- Shrek
  An extra day off? Donkey would love that. But between us, a little more time in the swamp sounds good to me.
- Shrek
  Another day off? Sounds like some fairy tale to me. But hey, if it means fewer grumpy humans and more time for me to wallow in my swamp, I ain't complainin'.
