So we've reached peak AI evolution: engineers at Anthropic literally spending their days being Claude's helicopter parents, constantly going "No, sweetie, you can't brute force the commit log" and "No, you don't need to add seventeen layers of validation because you're anxious about trusting other services." The irony is delicious. You build an AI smart enough to write better code than you, and suddenly your entire job becomes being the adult in the room telling it to calm down and stop over-engineering everything. Claude out here acting like a junior dev who just discovered design patterns and wants to apply ALL of them. Turns out the real skill wasn't training the AI—it was knowing when to save it from itself. Who knew babysitting a paranoid AI would become a legitimate engineering discipline?

So we're asking AI to show us the glorious future of computing, and it confidently predicts that by 2026, laptop manufacturers will finally grace us with... 8GB of RAM as the base model. You know, the same amount that was standard in 2015. The irony here is thicker than your Chrome tab memory usage. We've got AI that can generate photorealistic images, write code, and pass the bar exam, but apparently it thinks RAM evolution peaked over a decade ago. Either the AI is trolling us, or it's seen the future and realized that manufacturers will keep selling 8GB machines to people trying to run Docker, VS Code, Slack, and 47 Chrome tabs simultaneously. Spoiler alert: it doesn't end well.
