I would just like to add, if anyone in the world is going to be replaced by AI and automation, can it be the “management consultants and other white collar professionals”?
All people who do not need anymore “supercharging”🤨

I would add that it’s also probably the oldest.

Time to check out the top articles from the past week at CXF, led by our editorial on the cancellation of Red Hood by DC: comicsxf.com/2025/09/21/e...

You can't buy Red Hood, but you can buy plenty of other DC comics by others accused of worse - COMICSXF

The problem with writing about the cancellation of DC’s Red Hood is it’s impossible to write about in a vacuum.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them.

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!”

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.”

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.
