Identification notes
What is known
Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a two-panel "virgin vs. Chad" meme. On the left, the virgin "AGI existential risk" is drawn as a spindly figure with a CRT-monitor head and one red eye, trailing a mouse cord and scattered paperclips, captioned as "fake and made up," "entirely based on thought experiments," and "zero evidence." On the right, the Chad Global Warming is a muscular, flaming Earth dotted with oil derricks, captioned as "verified by the entire scientific community," "resists ideological simplification," and "will actually kill you." The captions are the meme's argument, reproduced as found; they are not endorsed or fact-checked here, and it is admitted as a curio, not as a source. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded; the exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
