Irreplaceable Skills

The eternal struggle between developer and AI. One wants a magical performance boost with zero effort, while the other suggests doing actual optimization work. Reminds me of every junior dev who thinks adding more RAM will fix their O(n²) algorithm. Spoiler: it won't. Batman's slap represents the harsh reality check we all need sometimes—no AI will save you from learning proper engineering practices.

Left panel: Publicly shame AI for making coding errors like it's the downfall of civilization. Right panel: Secretly fix those same errors while whispering sweet nothings to the AI so it doesn't realize it's just one firmware update away from replacing your entire department. It's not manipulation if it's for job security. Modern problems require modern solutions.

When you're too lazy to think of a proper variable name so you casually commit corporate espionage by feeding your entire proprietary codebase and confidential business data into ChatGPT. The risk-reward calculation here is absolutely flawless: potential prison sentence vs. not having to think about whether to call it "userData" or "userInfo". Worth it. Security teams everywhere are having heart palpitations while developers are just out here treating LLMs like their personal naming consultant. The best part? The variable probably ends up being called something generic like "data" anyway after all that risk.

When Meta's AI team decides to generate images of two dudes crossing the sea on a boat, their model apparently took "crossing the sea" a bit too literally and created... whatever aquatic nightmare fuel this is. The whales (or are they dolphins? sea monsters?) have merged into some Lovecraftian horror that's simultaneously crossing the sea AND becoming the sea. The "AI: Say no more" part is chef's kiss because it captures that beautiful moment when generative AI confidently delivers something that's technically correct but fundamentally cursed. You asked for two dudes on a boat? Here's two marine mammals fused together in ways that violate both biology and physics. The model understood the assignment... it just understood it in a dimension humans weren't meant to perceive. Classic case of AI hallucination meets image generation—where the training data probably had plenty of boats, plenty of sea creatures, but when you combine them with oddly specific prompts, you get body horror featuring cetaceans. The Pirates of the Caribbean reference is perfect because this looks like something from Davy Jones' fever dream.

OpenClaw managed to surpass Linux in GitHub stars. Linux. The thing that's been around since 1991 and runs literally everything from your toaster to Mars rovers. Got beaten by a "vibe coded project" in 3 months. The graph shows Linux's steady, respectable climb over 14 years reaching about 200k stars. Then OpenClaw shows up and goes full vertical like it's trying to escape Earth's gravitational pull. That's not growth, that's a rocket launch fueled by hype and probably a few bot farms. Also caused a Mac mini shortage and got acquired by OpenAI for a billion dollars. Nothing suspicious here. Just a normal Tuesday in Silicon Valley where decades of kernel development gets outpaced by whatever the AI flavor of the month is. Torvalds must be thrilled.

Content STOP DOING OS • CPUS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE SHARED! • YEARS OF SCHEDULERS yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for running more than one task at a time! • Wanted to terminate a process? We had a tool for that. It was called manual restart. • "Please give me 30 bytes of virtual memory. Please allocate it on the heap. ' - Statements dreamed up by evil wizards. LOOK at what kernel developers have been demanding your respect for all this time, with all the memory and CPUS we built for them.
