Speed moved the finish line to a more dangerous place.

<A new finish line waiting at the end of acceleration 1.1>

Panel details

1. In a track race, Kkobugi runs far ahead with the letters AI clearly written on his forehead. Dog, rabbit and other animal developers trail far behind, carrying laptops, sweating and looking exhausted.
2. Kim Saseum wears sunglasses and passes Kkobugi on a fast motorcycle marked AI Agent. An accurate Claude radial logo appears on the motorcycle's side. Kkobugi falters mid-stride and watches her disappear with a hollow, devastated expression.
3. From a wider and more distant camera angle, Kkobugi keeps running alone along a ruined track. Kim Saseum's AI Agent motorcycle lies broken on its side, and earlier competitors including a bear and tiger have collapsed nearby. The track, stands and surrounding facilities crack and decay into ruins.
4. The running track ends at a gigantic cliff. Kkobugi stops near the edge and looks up at a massive killer robot standing at the far end. Its eyes glow red, AI is written on its forehead, and the exact phrase Deus mortuus est is clearly engraved across its chest.

Intent Development Room 404 episode 12 turns AI acceleration, a developer race and an AI Agent motorcycle into a sprint toward a killer robot.

The careers ran while the spectators brought popcorn.

<Careers chasing AI while the world watches from afar 1.1>

Panel details

1. From the lower left, a gigantic Pac-Man-shaped object marked AI rushes toward the upper right, chasing and eating tiny people from behind. An accountant carries a calculator and ledger, a lawyer carries a briefcase and legal papers, a doctor wears a white coat and stethoscope, and a tax accountant carries receipts and a calculator. Everyone faces away from AI and flees toward the upper right; some are caught from behind while one has fallen and crawls away trembling. Keep the scene cute and comic rather than frightening.
2. Above the AI Pac-Man, a group of tiny developers runs after it in desperation while sweating heavily and carrying desktop computers and laptops. Hoodies, screens with code, keyboards and cables make their programmer roles immediately recognizable.
3. On the roof of a tall building, tiny YouTubers aim every telescope and video camera at the same AI commotion in the city below. Each camera bears a red YouTube play-button logo and the sightlines converge on the incident. A large tub of popcorn sits beside them. A pigeon and a dog stare blankly into space with oversized, foolish eyes, completely unaware of the situation.
4. A distant view from space shows the entire Earth in silence. Only one tiny spot on the planet produces a busy puff of dust, motion lines and miniature commotion marks while the rest of Earth and space remain peaceful.

Intent Development Room 404 episode 11 turns AI job displacement, professional jobs and AI, and a developer chase into a cute four-panel satire.

The command began at a mouse cable and climbed into the sky.

<The chain of control and the master above it 1.1>

Panel details

1. Kkobugi sweats heavily and looks flustered while coding at a computer. Kim Saseum stands behind him with folded arms. Under the desk, the USB plug of the wired mouse is visibly disconnected from the computer.
2. The camera pulls back. Behind Kim Saseum, Manager Park Mulbeom watches them with folded arms and a mildly angry expression. A round bump on his head suggests he has just been hit.
3. The camera pulls back farther. Behind Park Mulbeom, a gigantic anthropomorphic company building holds a wooden club and stares down at him. With its other arm, the company holds Mulbeom's small family group hostage.
4. The camera reaches its widest view. A huge, frightening storm-cloud AI controls the company building with puppet strings. Many similar company buildings surround it, each suspended from strings controlled by the same AI.

Intent Development Room 404 episode 10 follows a developer control chain from a corporate puppet to the AI master pulling every string.
