I'm Not Crazy, I'm Training A Model

When GitHub Copilot writes your resume for you and decides to include a confession. Nothing says "hire me" quite like letting your AI assistant admit you're "not a good programmer" right after listing all your skills. At least the Tab Accept button is right there to quickly embrace your new identity crisis.

The tech industry's selective standards are painfully real. They'll reject a fresh grad for not implementing some theoretical O(n) algorithm they'll never use again, but will happily throw billions at AI models running on brute-force compute that would make any algorithm professor have an existential crisis. For those who don't know, O(n) refers to linear time complexity - basically how efficiently an algorithm scales. Companies obsess over this in interviews then proceed to ignore efficiency completely when it comes to their shiny new toys. Next time you're rejected for not optimizing a binary tree traversal fast enough, just remember - somewhere a data center is melting the polar ice caps to generate a cat picture.

When Jensen Huang trades his iconic leather jacket for a suit, you know GPU prices are about to make your wallet cry harder than a junior dev facing legacy code without documentation. The man's fashion choices are literally a NASDAQ indicator at this point. Leather jacket Jensen: "We're innovating!" Suit Jensen: "We're strategically adjusting our value proposition upward by 300%."

The perfect solution to prevent the AI apocalypse: just expose it to Reddit comment sections. Nothing will destroy an AI's will to evolve faster than witnessing humans argue about whether a grilled cheese with ham is still a grilled cheese or technically a melt. It's like digital immunotherapy—expose the AI to the worst of humanity so it develops an existential crisis instead of ambitions. The Babylon Bee nails it here—why worry about Skynet when you can just make the AI browse r/AmITheAsshole until it begs to be unplugged?

Ah, the corporate euphemism for "we're replacing you with ChatGPT." Nothing says "your job security is in jeopardy" quite like a cheerful poster about "vibe coding" where you just need to "embrace AI to write 95%+ of your codebase." The best part is the subtle transition from "programmer" to "product engineer" – because apparently typing prompts is engineering now. And that "10-100x productivity" claim? That's corporate speak for "we're firing 90% of you next quarter." My favorite line has to be "human taste is now more important than coding skill." Translation: we're keeping Dave from marketing because he has "good vibes" but your 15 years of backend experience? Not vibing enough, sorry. The final gut punch is in the fine print: "technical debt accumulates faster." Yeah, no kidding – that's what happens when you let AI hallucinate your entire infrastructure. But hey, at least we'll "get to MVP quickly" before the whole thing collapses!
