I Should Have Asked At Stack Overflow

Oh, the beautiful irony! Training AI to spew corporate buzzwords and then mistaking that for consciousness is like thinking your parrot understands quantum physics because it can squawk "synergy" and "circle back." Turns out the Turing test is just asking, "Can you use the phrase 'let's take this offline' without actually solving anything?" If meaningless jargon is the benchmark for intelligence, we've been working with artificial intelligence in management for decades!

The tech industry's version of David vs. Goliath just got real. On one side, we've got trillion-dollar titans like Google, NVIDIA, OpenAI, and Meta throwing endless resources at the GPU and AI arms race. On the other? Just DeepSeek and their single open-source repo taking them all on. It's that classic moment when some scrappy engineer in their pajamas pushes code that makes corporate execs choke on their $12 lattes. Ten years of VC funding and board meetings outperformed by someone who probably debugs with print statements. The beautiful chaos of open source – where sometimes the simplest solution from the smallest player completely disrupts the market that giants spent billions trying to corner. Welcome to tech, where your market cap means nothing when someone's weekend project goes viral.

Grammar correction in the wild. King declares himself "the dumbest man alive," only to be immediately dethroned when someone mentions "AI prompt engineering is the future." The true champion of ignorance has been found. Happens to the best of us—one minute you're the dumbest person in the room, then someone walks in talking about their revolutionary prompt that just says "make it good" with fifteen exclamation points.

THE AUDACITY! A product manager who can't even write requirements without a 50-question interrogation suddenly becomes an AI prophet?! Honey, if you can't tell me what button color you want without changing your mind 17 times, I'm supposed to believe you understand the future of artificial intelligence?! The green monster hand of skepticism is PRESSING X TO DOUBT so hard right now. Sweetie, AI might replace a lot of things, but it'll need actual requirements to do so - something you're physically incapable of providing! Come back when your "visionary roadmap" isn't written in crayon and wishful thinking!

The modern developer dichotomy in its full glory! Up top we've got the polished, well-groomed developers who just copy-paste from Stack Overflow, Google search results, and ask ChatGPT to fix their bugs. Meanwhile, the documentation readers below look like they've been coding for 72 hours straight, sustained purely by Monster Energy and sheer determination. Reading docs is apparently the programming equivalent of staring into the void until the void stares back. The best part? Those documentation demons probably write better code than the rest of us combined. Choose your fighter: pretty but dependent, or unhinged but powerful.

The classic "it works on my machine" problem just got upgraded to "it works in my demo"! Nothing says "cutting-edge AI" like a good old time.sleep(6) to simulate processing. The presenter's accidental Ctrl+C revealed the smoke and mirrors behind the curtain - that magical AI was just Python taking a 6-second nap! This is the tech equivalent of finding out the "live" concert was actually lip-synced. Next time they'll probably add print("AI THINKING VERY HARD") for extra realism.
