A programmer saying "If I don't use AI tools, I'll be left behind" is like trying to outrun a steamroller by preemptively flattening your feet.

The cartoon illustrates the problem of water use in the AI age: a farmer's child and his mother are pumping a little water from a well for their daily use. Two knights in armor, transporting a large, spherical water container on wheels, come by and say, "The King wishes to make more avatars of himself as a Ghibli character."
In the background, a castle sits enthroned on a hill. The cartoon illustrates the excessive water consumption required for AI model queries.

Foxes In Love

@foxes-in-love.bsky.social

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue arrives ont he scene as Green is cutting a random chunk of plastic, pieces of it flying everywhere. Blue is holding both of his eyes closed in order to protect them from impact, while Green is squinting with one eye, peering his work with the other.
Blue: What's with the plastic shrapnel?
Green: Arts and crafts. I'll clean up later.

Blue sits down, looking at Green questioningly. Green - who has stopped clipping - frowns at his craft.
Blue: How will you find them if you don't see where they go?
Green: From the bottom of my foot.

Green resumes clipping as Blue looks at him, stunned. Eventually, he manages to put his thoughts into words.
Blue: ...You have feet?

Foxes In Love

@foxes-in-love.bsky.social

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, the first panel shows little baby Green, sitting alone in an empty void, looking disappointed but not surprised.
Green, narrating: When I was little, life was bad. I thought it would be bad forever.

Next, adult Green is floating through an empty void, not attached to anything.
Green, continuing to narrate: But that passed, and I learned that nothing is forever. Everything is only temporary.

Blue, appearing out of nowhere, grabs Green by the tail, gently holding on to stop him from drifting away.
Green, still narrating: And then you were there. For good.

The foxes settle down to play some kind of a board game. It's unclear which one of them is winning.
Green, narrating: You make me want to believe in "forever".
