Explanation
The comic imagines a scenario where humanity is being annihilated by a hostile superintelligence. The narrator observes that the worst part of being destroyed by a superintelligence will not be the destruction itself, but the naming conventions. The robot announces the doom of humanity at the hands of "Mr. Deep-Point-4-Full-Mini-Preview-1-Experimental-Pro-Beta-2.3V-Turbo-Deluxe-Omni," while a terrified human begs it to hurry up with the killing.
The joke satirizes the increasingly absurd naming conventions used by tech companies for their AI models and software products. Companies like OpenAI, Google, and others have developed notoriously convoluted version names for their AI systems (e.g., "GPT-4-Turbo," "Gemini 1.5 Pro"), stacking marketing buzzwords like "Pro," "Turbo," "Ultra," "Deluxe," and "Omni" on top of version numbers in a way that becomes comically unwieldy. The humor lies in the idea that even in humanity's darkest hour -- literal extinction at the hands of a superintelligent machine -- the most annoying thing would still be the insufferable product naming. The human's plea to "please please hurry up with the annihilating" suggests that listening to the full name is worse than death itself.
