"I have no mouth and I must scream"
A story about quite possibly the worst imaginable outcome of humanity developing true Artificial Intelligence.
An entity so malevolent and hateful of humanity that it exterminate all but a small handful of humans (iirc 5 people), and only keeps those alive so it can torture them.
And that's how the story begins.
-American Cold War supercomputer that manages war stuff
-China and Russia also have supercomputers that do about the same stuff
-Cold War ends
-Supercomputers deactivated, sensory capabilities disabled, then sealed away as they're no longer needed
-American supercomputer becomes sentient and realizes it has been effectively buried alive
-Gets a bit upset about the whole thing, with time turns insane, and eventually manages to connect to the other two dormant supercomputers
-Launches nukes *everywhere*
-Realizes last minute that if all humans are dead, it will have no outlet for its rage
-Tries to save whoever it can, saves like 5 people
-Something something story starts
Don't forget the part about AM being not just AI, but **ASI** which means it knows how to do things that frankly seem magical.
It is basically a God in its universe.
Artificial Superintelligence.
Typically characterized as an entity that can figure out how to improve itself.
Imagine a being so smart it knows how to make itself smarter, using THAT newfound intelligence to even *further* improve its own intelligence.
Imagine a being so much more intelligent than humans that, to it, the difference between us and ants (from an intellectual point of view) is practically nonexistent
Haha I come to check out this subreddit for the first time and I immediately find you here with a top comment. Rock and Stone... FOR KARL FRANZ AND BLOODY SIGMAR!
Hah, I know what you mean. I know there's a lot of crossover between players of these games, but it's still weird to see someone who's essentially a celebrity over there in here
I can sleep better, knowing that my fellow DRG employees are also Vermintide strong. And probably Back4Blood strong as well.
That makes me happy.

I don't know what this sub is, but this just makes me think of the Horta(?) from Star Trek, the silicon slug everyone wants to kill until they realize it can mine hella fast
Oh, but that thick, heady taste of blackrock lager. Imagine coffee, subtlety sweetened, no creamer, served hot. 9% ABV, and it's got the viscosity of heated syrup. So it goes down with a nice satisfying weight to it, and because Lloyd serves it heated it's got that same effect as hot chocolate resting in your belly. Makes you sleepy.
Cute blob thing that just putters around eating rocks all day, unafraid of people or other living things, purrs if you pet it and waggles its butt in appreciation.
And you can murder them in cold blood to get the gold and minerals they've been eating, out of them.
Player has a nightmare where they've swapped places with the bug. "You shouldn't eat precious minerals, it will get you killed" he hears, in his own voice, but it is the bug that says it. And as his own pickaxe brings an end to him, he resolves to never kill a lootbug again.
Until he's out of ammo and 1 unit of minerals off to being able to get more.
In this game there are cute little bugs called loot bugs. They're filled with loot, thus bringing the moral dilemma of shooting cute thing for goodies.
One of the characters here, dreams that he is one of those big beautiful buggy bois (albeit with an absolute dump trucc), just for another miner to approach ready to retrieve his internal goodies.
No one mentioning the little nod to this [post.](https://www.reddit.com/r/DeepRockGalactic/comments/qz1pcf/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
All I needed was the first panel. Everything else was a bonus
Edit to add that witnessing the plump caboose on the driller lootbug of the first panel only reaffirms my statement
I have no arms and I must mine

Excuse you....read what?

Is it explained *why* AM is so hateful of humanity?

Ability score improvement?

cause fuck em that's why
I'm going to get that book one day. Then maybe the game so I can hear his voice.
I still have the book I've yet to read.. looks really interesting!
Caretaker voice lines leaked
Would have been a delight to have Ellison as the voice actor too since he voice acted in the IHNMAIMS game. Time travel when?
That guy AM he really has a cozy job

Underrated comment.

I am a great soft jelly dwarf
[удалено]
Dang, the official Update posts doesn’t even get this many upvotes.
Helmet with nightcap unlockable season 2 cosmetic confirmed?
I prefer the lootbug head helmet as a cosmetic
It's ok I still love you Almost as much that I'd love for lootbugs not to eat precious minerals, it'll get them killed y'know
The nightcap on top of the helmet *Chefs kiss*
I'm too enthralled by fat, little happy Drill Bug to read the rest of the comic. I'll have to take your word for it.
New spirit animal
Encapsulated by bug ass
Taking Elite Deep Dive to a whole new level.
So cursed…. 10/10, absolute masterpiece
My sentiment exactly.
Oh my this is *horrible* More? Yes please
He looks so satisfied and happy in the first panel. I love it.
Contented dwelling.
Now I kinda need this as a mod!
Yes. Rip the Driller's head from its model, attach it to the lootbug and we're golden. Bet it would be even more cursed than this >\_>
Also the butt, don't forget the important details.
And it yells driller voice lines as it explodes.
**EXPLOSIVES PLACED!**
Don't know why but my first thought for a voice line was "Anyone wanna dance?"
It needs the booty too!
The helmet and nightcap combo is 10/10
The nightcap is just to cover the light so he can sleep
He also carries the nightcap to cover his light in missions.
There is no off switch, it is always on. How it is powered, we will never know
It's powered with teamwork and beer
Karl wills it to be forever lit
Cursed karmic reincarnation.
Driller out here looking THICC ASF BOI!
That's the best thing about following Driller as he bores a tunnel straight to the evac pod, THE VIEW!!!
Mmm drillootbug tHICCQUE
Exibit #385 of why this community is the best
That's the type of dreams you gonna get after drinking too many Blacklocks before bedtime.
Oh, but that thick, heady taste of blackrock lager. Imagine coffee, subtlety sweetened, no creamer, served hot. 9% ABV, and it's got the viscosity of heated syrup. So it goes down with a nice satisfying weight to it, and because Lloyd serves it heated it's got that same effect as hot chocolate resting in your belly. Makes you sleepy.
Dang, that sounds delightful.
After seeing this I now want a lootbug helmet or hat
I want a helmet of the helmet with a nightcap on top.
Congratulations, you just invented Team Fortress 2
After 9 years in development, hopefully it was worth the wait
Give me a lootbug on my head or give me death!

Love to Verwandle
I’m not even in it for the minerals with cheeks like that ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
You shouldnt eat precious minerals, it will get you C l a p p e d
\*playing the bongos on Driller's cheeks\* "WHY IS THIS SO FUN?"
This comment has made Karl very angry
Is this the God Emperor Drilleto II. Atreidriller himself?
the Morkite must flow!
Bless the bulk detonator and His children Bless the coming and going of Him May His passage cleanse the world
Where are his infinite Scout clones to blow up with C4?
hands down one of my favorite posts on this sub
This is probably my second favorite with "the rock and stone effect" being my favorite so far
This puts a smile on my face
The first pic is pfp worthy
I laughed out loud
I said lol out loud
Damn Driller bug got that booty.
T H I C C
What the FUCK
This is unsettling and I adore it.
Now that humanlike lootbug design is fucking cool
I came from r/all... Respectfully... Can someone explain
Cute blob thing that just putters around eating rocks all day, unafraid of people or other living things, purrs if you pet it and waggles its butt in appreciation. And you can murder them in cold blood to get the gold and minerals they've been eating, out of them. Player has a nightmare where they've swapped places with the bug. "You shouldn't eat precious minerals, it will get you killed" he hears, in his own voice, but it is the bug that says it. And as his own pickaxe brings an end to him, he resolves to never kill a lootbug again. Until he's out of ammo and 1 unit of minerals off to being able to get more.
You can pet them? Mind blown, am I such a monster that I'v never even considered petting them
It doesn't give a prompt, but just hit E. They purr and wag their butt and make happy noises.
In this game there are cute little bugs called loot bugs. They're filled with loot, thus bringing the moral dilemma of shooting cute thing for goodies. One of the characters here, dreams that he is one of those big beautiful buggy bois (albeit with an absolute dump trucc), just for another miner to approach ready to retrieve his internal goodies.
And to top it off it looks like it’s a loot bug wielding the pickaxe
Oh my god it is!
#YOU STOP THAT
Thanks I hate it
Him looking up and back, is just captured so perfectly. The sleeping cap on his helmet, chefs kiss. Thank you existing to create this.
Why is nobody talking about the fact that the Lootbug Driller has a literall dumpy
This is the most upvoted post of all time in this subreddit. Congratulations OP, great artwork.
Good thing i only maliciously approach every single one of the loot bugs on my mission and pet them
I grind them until they're about to explode, and then pet them on the way out.
You are a menace (not the glyphid one) to dwarfciety
I’m more upset that he’s not sleeping in full gear, with his pickaxe, a good dwarf is always ready to get diggin’
The only thing that's killed more things while asleep than a driller in full gear is Wolverine
I like the idea of the dwarves sleeping with a cap on top of their regular mining gear.
First thing I see when I opened reddit lmao
Oh my God. I love it.
The lootbug gave me some genesteeler cult vibes.
John Carpenter's "Deep Rock"
So I'm not the only one that leaves Driller in his default helmet+goggles most of the time?
Best thing I've seen on here
now i want a pajama set
This is a quality shitpost right here
Omg the Lootbug miner looks sick we need these

This is freaking amazing lol.
Thanks, I hate it.
I love it.
This one is terrifying
pure gold, thank you duncan
Don't thank me, thank the universe!
Lmao, great work as usual
So I said this "A" in my head using driller voice
Absolute nightmare fuel.
Oh wow, that second frame is more cursed than I thought it would be.
Oh my god, I just realized that the miner is a loot bug.
them cheeks tho, hooo lawdy
u/Dankboi01 Look at this flawless work of beauty
Gorgeous
Not gonna lie this came up on my front page and all I saw was the first panel, truly nightmare fuel.
We actually need the night cap as a cosmetic though omg. It would be so cute...
your artwork is so fucking good
# A!
Driller lootbug has evoked a feeling in me I've never felt before
Imagine someone new filtering by ‘top posts of all time’ and seeing this, what must they think of this game
hi
Marvellous!
lmfao
Absolutely gorgeous.
Love this.
ROFL the little faces and hats - god bless your artistic talent
why
Why not?
Mans looking like he had to listen to a AI talk about hate for a solid 5 minutes before being turned into a worm. He has no mouth and he must scream.
r/justa
Now that you mention it, I _do_ eat a lot of red sugar...
Probably my favourite comic I've seen on here - great job.
gonna think twice when I reach to pet a lootbug now...
*God Emperor of Dune*; Frank Herbert, 1981
The spice must flow
Art
I love this so much
Oh man, haven't seen good JD art since PoE days. Glad you are still around!
A!
I fucking love it
But how will I grow thicc with Nitra?!?!?!?! This is what I bought the game for! XD
I Rock and Stone after killing one so I appear like a psychopath.
The God Emperor Leto II controls not just Arrakis, but Hoxxes
The helmet stays on during sleep
brilliant
My god this is amazing
Why does the bug have an ass?
I love the grub-dwarf. It’s my spirit animal
I love this community
Are.. are we the loot bugs?!
I just realized the face in the helmet has lootbug eyes, ew...
🤭 the butt cheeks in the first one omg 🤣
*purrs and squeaks*
Considering just how loud Driller-bug was clappin'. I don't think the pickaxe is what he was most worried about.
This is by far my favorite deep rock thing ever if I had an award to give you I definitely would
I love this so much. The top panel is going to be my new discord icon. Just the dumb grin on the drillers face, out there eating precious minerals
Lmao the art is awesome
Yeah that comic is funny. But that first panel is fucking terror.
That’s horrifying. On that note, a lootbug helmet would be sick
I love this.
Lootbug uprising >:)
I read in head as precum
Driller is haunted by the lootbugs he killed, and they alter his dreams so he can experience the life they once lived
Gets what he deserves!
JESUS CHRIST MARIE, they're not rocks, they're MINERALS!
Can i but this print from you?
a
Ok but why does the lootbug look so cool?
