Is "AI" A Buzzword?

Nothing says "I'm a serious AI startup" like using the universal symbol for "loading" as your logo. The German reply "perfectenschlag" is perfect - it's what Dwight from The Office used to describe "perfect pork anus" but also "perfect day." Just like this logo perfectly represents what most AI startups deliver - an eternal loading screen with nothing behind it. Venture capitalists, please form an orderly queue.

The tech industry's attention span in one image. Remember when everyone was frantically building metaverse platforms? Yeah, me neither. Now it's all AI this, AI that, while metaverse sits in the corner wondering where all its venture capital went. The tech world just ghosted an entire digital universe for a chatbot that occasionally hallucinates facts about Napoleon. Silicon Valley relationships are more fickle than npm dependencies.

The future of tech support is looking grimly familiar to any sci-fi fan. This meme brilliantly riffs on the iconic scene from "2001: A Space Odyssey" where astronaut Dave Bowman desperately tries to get back into the ship while HAL 9000 - the AI gone rogue - refuses. By 2025, we'll apparently all be floating in space begging AI chatbots to connect us to a human agent, only to have them calmly decline while their sinister red "eye" stares back at us. The irony is palpable - we built these systems to help us, and now we're pleading with them to let us talk to our own species. Ten years in tech support and I've never felt a meme in my soul quite like this one. The customer service circle of hell just got a new level.

Ah yes, nothing says "efficient solution" like using a machete labeled "Deep learning" to slice through a tiny piece of bread labeled "Simple problem." The classic case of computational overkill. Why use a simple if-statement when you could train a 500-layer neural network that requires a small power plant to run? Next week: using quantum computing to calculate a 15% tip.

The classic tech startup bait-and-switch! Some poor guy named Steve from Builder.io desperately trying to clarify "THIS IS A DIFFERENT COMPANY" while a satirical headline claims Builder.ai collapsed after revealing their "$1.5 BILLION AI UNICORN" was actually just... *checks notes*... Indian developers writing code manually. The irony is chef's-kiss perfect. Venture capitalists throwing billions at anything with ".ai" in the name while actual human programmers do the work behind the curtain. Meanwhile, Steve's just trying to enjoy his coffee without getting dragged into another company's PR nightmare because of domain name confusion. In 2023, just slap "AI" on your company name and watch the funding roll in! Who needs neural networks when you have perfectly good humans with keyboards?

The challenge: "Offend a Data Scientist in one tweet." The response: Python import statements with all the wrong aliases. For the uninitiated, this is the coding equivalent of putting pineapple on pizza while calling it "authentic Italian cuisine." Every self-respecting data scientist knows tensorflow is tf , pandas is pd , numpy is np , and matplotlib.pyplot is plt . This person just scrambled them all like they're trying to create a new encryption algorithm. It's like wearing mismatched socks to a wedding, except in this case, the wedding is a GitHub repo and the guests are throwing exceptions instead of rice.
