LinkedIn is blocking my Schrödinger’s Cat series

Tom KirkmanIndependent Project Manager

A couple years ago, I made a lengthy series of posts here, turning the Quantum Mechanics thought experiment of Schrödinger’s Cat on its head.

Dozens of posts and unique graphics in my series, which LinkedIn is now blocking.
Just … *gone* from the internet and from LinkedIn.

< sigh >

To make my series, I used very carefully crafted text prompts to AI, to generate very specific AI images on Grok AI.

I do *not* consider the images as AI Slop, because the images were specifically generated in order to support my detailed text descriptions and ideas, to try to nudge people to think a bit differently, using absurd surreal text and images.

Anyway, here’s one of my more obvious Schrödinger’s Cat quantum thought permutations, early in the series:

Dr. Schrödinger *inside* the box, clearly observing quantum cats who are *outside* the box, who are deliberately *not* observing him.

Human handlers of AI LLMs might have fun with this rabbit hole of absurd surreal quantum thinkingnesses.

In this thread, I’ll post some of the old unique images from my
“Schrödinger’s Cat Quantum Thought Experiment Gone Awry” series,
but *without* my original accompanying explainer text for each image (because LinkedIn erased my text explainers and posts).

I may or may not add in a brief new text description in my comments below, for newer readers who may not be familiar with my posts and images on LinkedIn about Time Travelling Duck, Corporate Turtle, Quantum Bunny Rabbit, Electric Cow, Liquefied Electricity, etc.

Please feel free to use your own absurd surreal imagination to come up with a new caption or comment for any image which strikes your thoughts as wonderfully absurd silly surreal mental thinkingnesses 😃

    Grok AI summary part 1:

    I asked Grok AI (which generated the AI images for this series)

    Please provide a summary of the series of posts by Tom Kirkman on LinkedIn, about Schrödinger's Cat Quantum Thought Experiment Gone Awry

    Grok replied:

    Tom Kirkman’s LinkedIn series consists of light-hearted, interconnected humorous posts that playfully extend and subvert the classic Schrödinger’s Cat thought experiment into absurd, multi-animal “gone awry” quantum scenarios.

    These posts typically feature illustrated (often surreal or AI-assisted) scenes of Schrödinger’s Cat interacting with other anthropomorphic animal characters inside experimental “Science boxes.”

    They mix quantum jargon with everyday or corporate satire, include brief educational notes on concepts like superposition and entanglement, and link related posts in the series.

    Publicly available snippets (LinkedIn content is often login-gated) highlight recurring characters and themes of observation (or deliberate non-observation) affecting quantum states, with the tagline-style note that “Your observations may vary.”

    Grok AI summary part 2:

    Key posts and elements in the series

    Electric Cow scenario:
    Schrödinger’s Cat stubbornly not observing an Electric Cow inside the Science box. This plays on the classic idea that observation collapses the wave function.

    Time Travelling Duck + Quantum Bunny Rabbit:
    Schrödinger’s Cat intently observing a Time Travelling Duck inside an experimental Science box as the duck “fires up the time travel entanglement process.”

    Meanwhile, a Quantum Bunny Rabbit shifts between multiple phases of superposition (contrasted with entanglement).

    The post includes quick definitions: superposition (particles can exist in multiple states at once) and entanglement (things so interconnected that they influence each other regardless of distance), plus a link to an explainer article. ...

    Grok AI summary part 3:

    Science Duck and Science Cat observing the Quantum Bunny:
    Science Duck and Science Cat indirectly observing the Quantum Bunny Rabbit, with commentary that they clearly need more “super strong quantum black coffee.”

    Corporate HR Turtle review:
    Schrödinger’s Cat receiving his annual 360-degree review from a Corporate HR Turtle to determine whether he survived (or not) inside his transparent cubicle the previous year.

    This needs to be done annually because, in the “Quantum Corporate universe,” the cat is both alive and dead until observed. ...

  4. Tom Kirkman

    Grok AI summary part 4:

    Overall, the series treats the original 1935 thought experiment (a cat in a sealed box potentially both alive and dead due to linkage to a random quantum event until observed) as a springboard for ongoing, meme-like storytelling.

    It emphasizes the weirdness of quantum mechanics in a fun, accessible way while connecting posts into a loose narrative of escalating or varying “experiments” gone awry with extra characters and modern twists (time travel, corporate life, coffee, etc.).

    Engagement often comes via comments reacting to the humor and the visuals.
