So geeked to hold this gem by @tomgauld.bsky.social in my hands! While I’ve read most of these in @newscientist.com great to have them in one sharp book! I’m particularly fond of the ones where he plays with comics conceptually, but all of them are brilliant & funny, he never misses! Good stuff!
Cover to physics for cars by tom Gauld. Pixie of Escher-esque impossible walk way with cats walking around all sides of it Three panel strip after Soren Kierkegaard. word balloons from a man moving from far right panel back to first balloons stacked so far back one reads first “life can only” “be understood” “backwards” and then a dog is walking from left to right through panels and it says in each panel respectively “but it” “must be” “lived forwards”. It is very clever use of space and the static-simultaneous nature of comics Comic strip of a single image - a big lab building upper left and. Path that two people are walking that loops out all up and to the right and returns to the building along the bottom and back up to it. It’s divided into panels mostly to show time passing. Text from characters, initially from inside the building where we can’t see them “nothings happening.” “Let’s take a walk.” Now outside “we can’t run this experiment forever.” The characters have turned back along the path toward the building “Good things come to those who wait.” “But how long do we wait?” Now nearly back to the building “let’s give it another try. I’ve got a good feeling.” “You said that last time.” A six panel comic, three across two tall. Title in first panel “overthinking” character walking far left of panel. Panel two same character advancing a bit, small thought balloon filled with lines that look like words. Third panel advance to middle of panel, bigger thought balloon, more filled with word like symbols. Panel four - character is paused, balloon is very large, filled with tons of text stuff that is written over the top of itself. Panel five, now character looks up at what was the word balloon but now looks like a dark textured cloud. Panel six, indeed it’s become a cloud and is now raining on the figure who is under an umbrella protected from the lines of rain from the cloud

Exclusive: Based on documents viewed by this newsletter, OpenAI spent over $12.4 billion on inference from 2024 to September 2025. As part of its Microsoft revenue share, it sent $493.8m in 2024/$865.8m Jan-Sep 2025, implying lower revenues than previously reported.
