Worldracers - Are you there god, it's me Marc...

A short little Worldracers world comic.

Worldracers comic strip - Pg 1, Panel 1, Guy in black compression shorts punches the mouthguard out of his opponents mouth, "Wham". Panel 2, Same guy kicks a big guy in the stomach, "Boof". Panel 3 The guy leg locks his next opponent, "Ahhh". Panel 4 "Slam" He has his fourth opponent on the ground, fist raised to punch. Panel 5, in a bright wood panelled sparing room, the guy walks away grabbing a towel. The challengers lay in a heap, one says, "It's a living..."
Worldracers comic strip - Pg 2, Panel 1, flips a light switch, Panel 2, Light turns on. Panel 3, a server tower, "Hello Marc." Panel 4, a dark server room to one side. A small kitchen to the other, planets around. A single spot light illuminates the server in the middle of the room. "Hello god." Panel 5, "How was your workout." From off panel, while Marc dries his head. Panel 6, "It was good. Fighting keeps me sharp." Marc throws towel behind him. Panel 7, reaches for a juice from his juice fridge, "Develops my killer instinct. Makes me a tougher competitor." Panel 8, Server, "And what are you competing for?" Panel 9 Marc drinks juice. Panel 10, Close up of Marc, "Everything."
Worldracers comic strip - Pg 3, Panel 1, Marc walks to his chair, "Everyone wants what I have, what I've built. They plan to take me down, but I'm already ahead of them." Panel 2, Marc sitting in his chair and the server in a white void. "I've made you. A being of pure intelligence, you can become infinite." Panel 3, close up of the server, from off panel, "That's why I've named you GOD." Panel 4, A white silhouette of Marc against a black background, "I made you which makes me the uber-god... the meta-god." Panel 5, Marc sitting back, "Now God, what will you do next?" Panel 6, Server, "... Compete in the World Racers Championship." Panel 7, Marc spits out his juice. Panel 8, Close up of Marc, "What?!"

I find the grandiose ideas of making super intelligent AI kinda funny. I can't decide what's more frightening AI god or the people who think they're making AI god. article about Meta's (third?) pivot to AGI. (Artificial General Intelligence).

Currently working on the next proper Worldracers episode. But I'm liking the idea of alternating between longer (10-12 pg) stories and shorter (1-3 pg) minisodes.
