This comic references to multiple memes:

1) The Cephalopod Revolution with there many appendages, distance communication, mimicry and camouflage, they present the greatest threat to mankind of the classes of animals. The cuttlefish is a Cephalopod. It is also slightly ironic to be attacked by a cuttlefish, because it sounds like 'cuddle fish'.

2) There is some rivalry among the main branches of science, with various statements meant to show one's one to be superior or more important and deserved of funding.

3) The ALT text - CS stands for Computer science. The robot revolution like in Terminator. Or possibly the Matrix. Maybe even I, Robot. At some point after robots become a part of everyday life, they will become self-aware, and either for our or their protection, will enslave humanity, possibly as an energy source (not really sure how that works, Matrix).
