Text overlay: "AFK - Fighting the final boss to save our crypto gains." Panel 3: Mom leans into the camera, concerned. "Your father says GPT-5.4-Cyber can exploit Grandpa's crypto wallet! We need your help!" Dad frantically gestures at a tablet showing a news article about the Mythos vulnerability. Panel 4: Gen Z kid’s avatar in the VR game screams "NOOO!", as the boss is defeated. The kid takes off the VR headset, bored. Kid: "Okay, boomers. Lemme just run a quick diagnostic. But first... anyone want to buy a limited edition 'Cyberpunk Waifu' NFT?"
