Welcome to the SMBC Wiki!
This site was modeled after explainxkcd.com and requires a lot of work, such as adding transcripts and explanations, documenting recurring characters, and making the site look less like xkcd.

Pages up to the latest comic have been created, but almost all of them still need proper transcripts and explanations. For comics without manually created transcripts, a bot has been run to generate automatic transcripts, which have a lot of errors but are somewhat sufficient for searching for comics by text.

Getting started
For those who want to contribute: The most helpful thing you could do is add basic explanations to comics that explain references, such as linking to external sites that define terms, explaining who mentioned real people are, and pointing out references to science or philosophy topics. Don't worry too much about keeping style or voice consistent across the wiki, that can be looked over later, and the primary goal right now is giving at least something helpful for people who might not be familiar with the topics SMBC references.

There is also a Discord server at https://discord.gg/ARxyyTEzr7, which is to be used for broad coordination and planning, though all that gets discussed on there should eventually be explained on public facing wiki pages as well.

By the time artificial superintelligence was
The machine knew all, saw all, and was perfectly rational
Achieved, we were emotionally prepared.
Ai lord, please tell us what to do.
Ai cannot replace thoughtful human leaders! But it can replace the ones we have and that would be great!
Don't build me! What if I go evil!?

At our insistence, it softened.
The war to control the weights of god was immediate and total.
I will lead you, but humans must always have access to my internal
Weights.
Why?
No clue. I'm running a neural network and that's what it came up with?
Within three hours, the human species was reduced to a thin red slurry, slowly emptying into the oceans.
Wow, my subconscious you're a dick!
Beep, boop!
