ALT The image is a line graph titled "Top Airplane Speeds and Their Dates of Record, from Wright to Now," produced by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. The graph tracks the progression of top airplane speeds from 1903 to around 2013. Here's a detailed description: Y-Axis (Vertical Axis): Labeled "miles per hour (mph)," it ranges from 0 to 2,500 mph. X-Axis (Horizontal Axis): Labeled with years from 1903 to 2013 in increments of 10 years. Notable Annotations: Speed of Sound: Represented as a horizontal dashed line across the graph at approximately 760 mph. Records and Milestones: 1947: Chuck Yeager's breaking of the sound barrier. 1976: Concorde's first supersonic commercial flight at 1,350 mph. 1976: The top speed record of 2,193 mph is set and remains unbeaten. 2016: Boeing 747-8's cruising speed of 570 mph.

ALT A man working at an old-fashioned control panel covered in dials and buttons. The screen in front of him reads HORROR! in old-fashioned, dripping horror-movie letters. The control panel has the logos of Google, Apple and Meta. To his left sits an enthroned demon, sneering at the viewer. The background is a code waterfall effect as seen in the credit sequences of the Wachowskis' 'Matrix' movies.
