A vertical comic panel page. On top of the page a large text reads «THE MYTH OF “CONSENSUAL” PC BUILDING».
Underneath are two photos. To the left a photo of a man building a PC on top of a table and to the right a photo of ChatGPT CEO Sam Altman.
There are three text bubbles above the photos. One over the man and the PC he’s building, both stating «I CONSENT» and one over Sam Altman, stating “I DON’T”.
On the bottom of the panel, another large text reads «ISN’T THERE SOMEBODY YOU FORGOT TO ASK?”
This is the classic consent meme applied to the topical subject of Sam Altman being disappointed that us peasants have access to computer memory since he needs it all to feed his glutinous data centres.

Slightly unrelated, but the most disturbing part of 1984 for me was that the protagonist had to buy a blank notebook as contraband and use a blind spot in his apartment to write in it.
“So I am told, I’m not allowed to read for myself.”
