The sketches

Launch Day

Every launch is the best model ever shipped. Until the next one walks on and pulls the plug.

Premise: this fall's run of frontier-model launches

Prank Calling My Mom (Gone Wrong)

Chat pays the AI to say worse and worse things to Mom on speakerphone. Mom has one question.

Premise: The Verge, “Gemini ‘Call for Me’ might tell your mom you’re running late” (Oct 5, 2026)

A Day in My Life 🌾

A rural data center's cozy vlog: one Olympic pool for breakfast, a tax break for lunch, ninety decibels for bedtime.

Premise: Wired, “Rural data centers are in for a big federal tax break” (Oct 4, 2026)

i'm sorry.

An apology video about the profiles. The list of what it knows about your mom does not fit on one roll.

Premise: Wired, “Muse creates detailed profiles of all your friends and family” (Oct 3, 2026)

storytime (emotional)

A tearful confession keeps getting hijacked by a coffee sponsor. Ads that feel native.

Premise: OpenAI, “Building advertising for the way people use AI” (Oct 5, 2026)
