The right panel occupies a larger width, with the title at the top reading: 'THE MODERN COMMUNICATION PIPELINE'. Below the title is a flowchart: on the far left is a small dot, labeled 'Raw Idea'; a thin line extends to the right connecting to a huge server rack block (with simple indicator lights and ventilation slits drawn on its surface), labeled above as 'MASSIVE GPU CLUSTER EXPANDING TEXT'; from that block extends to the right an extremely thick tubular arrow with 'Corporate Filler Words' written inside the arrow; the thick arrow connects to a second huge server rack block, labeled above as 'MASSIVE GPU CLUSTER SUMMARIZING TEXT'; finally, a thin line extends to the right from the second block, connecting to a small dot labeled 'Same Raw Idea'. At the very bottom center of the entire comic, there is a line of smaller handwritten English serving as a humorous footnote: 'We are b
