ALT Two figures walk along a corridor lined with complex machinery. The worker says "Congratulations, sir! The most intelligent machine ever created is ready to change the world. Ten billion dollars well spent... What shall we ask it to do? " The billionaire replies "That's my business, not yours. Close the door on your way out." Now alone with the machine, the billionaire asteps closer and asks quietly "Can you Make people like me?" it says "No"

ALT A Comic strip. Panel 1: On the horizon a large passenger ship sinks into the sea. A woman sits on a raft, "if only there was space for us both!" she says as she leans back on a large, well-stocked bookcase. Her lover, clinging to the raft replies "Maybe if we lose the bookcase...?" Panel 2. "My poor darling!" says the woman "Oh, how I wish there was something I could do to help you". The lover, now sunk further into the water continues "... or even just empty one of the shelves?" Panel 3. The lover is now neck-deep in the water and the raft has been carried away on the tide. "Fate can be so cruel" muses the woman, without looking up from the book that she is now reading "Farewell my love. I'll never forget you."
