Panel 1
Alex: Sam, we did it! OpenAI's reputation is on the mend! Can't wait to hear what the new panel of mathematicians has to say.
Sam: I hope they can help. Last time, we almost lost our shirts.
Robin: Don't mention it. We had a lot more than shirts. We had a whole company.
Panel 2
Alex: Alright, Robin, let's get the ball rolling. We've got to impress this panel. What's our plan?
Sam: Let's make a funny little video explaining why AI isn't a bad guy after all.
Robin: Perfect, Sam. We'll have everyone laughing by the end of it.
Panel 3
Alex: Great minds think alike, as they say. Look at us, making a video before we even know what's wrong.
Sam: Looks like we're back in the game, Alex. Let's hope they like our joke.
Robin: And remember, we always have more shirts in the back of the van.
