The script

Panel 1

Alex (excitedly) Sam (dryly) Robin (gleefully)

Alex: You guys, we're finally going to have flying cars! Dario Amodei says we need to slow down, but I think he's right!

Sam: Flying cars? Really, Alex? Just a bit more AI and we'll be there. Don't you think?

Robin: And maybe even a better way to sort the mail. I wonder what the AI industry would do with all its time!

Panel 2

Dario Amodei (confidently) Sam (nodding) Elon Musk (smiling) Dario Amodei (smirking)

Dario Amodei: It's time to pace the frontier and make sure AI doesn't run wild. Elon and Sam agree with me.

Sam: I'm all for it. We can't afford to get carried away with this stuff.

Elon Musk: I couldn't agree more. Let's make sure we're ready before it's too late.

Dario Amodei: And Mike Johnson is going to love this. He thought AI would solve all his problems, now he's looking for someone to blame.

Panel 3

Mike Johnson (frustrated) Dario Amodei (mockingly) Elon Musk (smirking)

Mike Johnson: I can't believe I'm here. I thought AI was the answer to everything. Now, it's like I'm back to square one.

Dario Amodei: Well, Mike, it looks like you'll just have to rely on your own ingenuity for a bit longer. I hope you've got a few new gadgets ready.

Elon Musk: And maybe a way to make mail sorting a bit faster. You know, to make up for your AI failure.
