Eternal Waiting For AI To Finish What It Started

This is basically a character selection screen for the tech industry, and honestly, I've met every single one of these people. The accuracy is disturbing. My personal favorites: The Prompt Poet (Dark Arts) who literally conjures code from thin air by whispering sweet nothings to ChatGPT, and The GPU Peasant Wizard who's out here running Llama 3 on a laptop that sounds like it's preparing for liftoff. The "mindful computing" part killed me—yeah, very mindful of that thermal throttling, buddy. The Toolcall Gremlin is peak AI engineering: "Everything is a tool call. Even asking for water." Debugging method? Add 9 more tools. Because clearly the solution to complexity is... more complexity. Chef's kiss. And let's not ignore The Security Paranoid Monk who treats every token like it's radioactive and redacts everything including the concept of fun. Meanwhile, The Rag Hoarder is over there calling an entire Downloads folder "context" like that's somehow better than just uploading the actual files. Special shoutout to The 'I Don't Need AI' Boomer who spends 3 hours doing what takes 30 seconds with AI, then calls it "autocomplete" to protect their ego. Sure, grandpa, you keep grinding those TPS reports manually.

That special moment when you spend hours manually optimizing your spaghetti code, only for an AI model to "refactor" it into something that makes a COBOL program look like poetry. The audacity of these silicon-based know-it-alls to take your perfectly functional 500-line if-statement and turn it into unreadable "efficient" code that somehow manages to be both more verbose AND less functional. Just what I needed today - another reason to question my career choices.

The classic tech industry delusion: celebrating a "successful" AI loan approval system while the privacy analyst stands there like the only adult at a toddler's birthday party. The team is blissfully high-fiving over their black-box algorithm that somehow decides who gets loans, completely ignoring that financial regulators would sooner approve a bank robbery than an unexplainable AI model. Nothing says "we're doomed" quite like a room full of engineers celebrating code that works but can't explain why it works. Regulators tend to be funny that way—they actually want to know how you decided to reject someone's mortgage application beyond "the machine said no."

Finally, a sorting algorithm with the computational complexity of O($$). Just send your array to GPT, pay a few cents, and get it back sorted. Perfect for when you need your data arranged but can't be bothered to remember how quicksort works. The best part? If your array isn't sorted correctly, you can just claim it's because the AI "didn't understand the vibe" of your integers.

The classic tale of telling someone to "learn to code" when their industry collapses, only to have it spectacularly backfire a decade later. In 2014, some smug tech bro sees a factory worker lamenting their shutdown plant and suggests coding as the magical solution to all life's problems. Fast forward to 2024, and that same person is having an absolute meltdown because AI just automated away their programming job. The irony is *chef's kiss*. The real kicker? The factory worker pivoted to welding and is now probably making bank while our former programmer is spiraling. Turns out physical trades that require hands-on skills are way harder to automate than pushing pixels around. Who would've thought that condescending career advice would age like milk in the sun?

Say one word about Nvidia's proprietary drivers, their CUDA monopoly, or their Linux support and watch the fanboys materialize like they're being summoned by a GPU mining rig. The company's worth more than most countries' GDP, but somehow needs defending from random devs on Reddit. Meanwhile Linus Torvalds literally gave them the middle finger on camera and they're still printing money faster than their RTX cards can render frames. The funniest part? Half the people defending them can't even afford their GPUs at scalper prices.
