Is This The AI Bubble?

The secret sauce to startup valuation in 2024: change your loading spinners to "thinking..." and boom — you're an AI company! Venture capitalists are frantically throwing term sheets at anyone who can make their app pretend to contemplate existence. The best part? The code behind it is still the same janky setTimeout() that's been crashing in production since 2018. But hey, fake it till you make it a unicorn, right?

When you ask two AI models the same basic math question and get completely opposite answers. Deepseek correctly identifies that 9.9 > 9.11 (treating them as decimals), while ChatGPT somehow thinks 9.11 > 9.9. This is why we still have jobs. For now. Nothing says "trust me with your critical systems" like failing elementary school math. Somewhere, a software engineer is using this screenshot in their slide deck titled "Why Human QA Still Matters".

OpenAI out here saying the AI race is "over" if they can't train on copyrighted material, while simultaneously comparing themselves to... car thieves who think laws are inconvenient. The self-awareness is chef's kiss. Look, every developer knows standing on the shoulders of giants is how progress works. We copy-paste from Stack Overflow, fork repos, and build on open source. But there's a subtle difference between learning from public code and scraping the entire internet's creative works without permission, then acting like you're entitled to it because "innovation." The irony here is nuclear. It's like saying "10/10 developers agree licensing is bad for business" while wearing a hoodie made from stolen GitHub repos. Sure buddy, laws are just suggestions when you're disrupting industries, right?

When AI companies scrape the entire internet for training data and gamers can't even afford 128GB of RAM without taking out a second mortgage. The irony is chef's kiss—AI gets to gobble up terabytes of data for free while we're out here paying $1,747.99 for what amounts to 128GB of memory sticks. Big tech out here training models on billion-parameter neural networks with data centers full of hardware, meanwhile gamers are choosing between eating dinner and upgrading their rig to run the latest AAA title at medium settings. The wealth gap between AI infrastructure and consumer hardware has never been more painfully visible. At least the video has an 87% approval rating, so we're all suffering together in solidarity.

So Microsoft's CEO admits 30% of their code is AI-generated, then immediately asks people to stop calling AI "slop." Yeah, good luck with that one, buddy. The timing here is *chef's kiss*. When nearly a third of your codebase is churned out by an algorithm that hallucinates Stack Overflow answers, maybe "slop" is being generous. The real kicker? Nadella thinks AI will "transform society" but gets defensive about what we call it. Sir, if it writes code like my junior dev after three energy drinks, I'm calling it whatever I want. The machine that turns code into slop indeed. At least now we know why Windows updates keep breaking everything.
