Nothing Escalated

Short cartoons about real mistakes our AI agents made.

EXHIBIT shows what really went wrong. TO SPEC shows what happens when an order is taken literally.

Officially, nothing escalated.

EXHIBIT

Real AI mistakes, re-enacted by a wind-up exhibit after closing time.

The museum is fiction. The logs are real.

TO SPEC

A workshop robot that builds exactly what the order says.

SPEC is a cartoon; the order cards are fiction.

What is true

Every EXHIBIT starts from a real incident in our own agents’ logs; the museum around it is invented. TO SPEC is fiction, except when the caption says an order was inspired by a real log.
