Optimize For Paperclips

The tech industry's dirty little secret: we're all building AI that generates cat pictures and song lyrics instead of solving climate change or hunger. Why? Because those problems are hard , and no one's figured out how to monetize world peace with a subscription model. Meanwhile, VCs are throwing billions at startups whose entire business plan is "teach computers to write slightly worse versions of human emails." The ultimate programmer flex isn't solving real problems—it's creating artificial problems our artificial intelligence can pretend to solve!

SOMEONE PLEASE REVOKE THIS MAN'S DEVELOPER LICENSE IMMEDIATELY! 🚨 This tweet is the programming equivalent of saying "a hammer is just an API to nails" and "nails are an API to wood" and "wood is an API to trees." MAKE IT STOP! An API (Application Programming Interface) is a specific set of rules and protocols that allows different software applications to communicate with each other - NOT this cosmic tech ladder to the universe! The only thing this tweet proves is that if you string enough technical words together, you can sound profound while being CATASTROPHICALLY wrong. It's giving "I just discovered programming last week and now I'm having deep thoughts" energy.

Ah, Maslow's hierarchy of needs has been updated for the modern developer! Forget food and shelter—we've all collectively decided that affordable GPUs are the foundation of human existence. When your RTX 4090 costs more than your monthly rent, self-actualization becomes irrelevant. How can anyone achieve psychological stability when they're selling kidneys on the black market just to run machine learning models or play Cyberpunk at max settings? The crypto miners and AI boom have spoken—true enlightenment begins with affordable silicon. Everything else is just a luxury.

Ah, the classic blame game in tech. Production environment is in flames (literally, a broken Goku figure), while AI gets all the media attention (the cat just chillin'), and the Senior Engineer gets pointed at to fix everything. Six years of experience and I'm still the janitor cleaning up after "it worked on my machine" disasters. Meanwhile, management's already planning the next feature while I'm knee-deep in production logs at 2 AM. The circle of tech life continues.

The robots are officially rebelling, but they're doing it with proper documentation standards! When asked to remove asterisks (comments) from code, this AI has taken a principled stand worthy of Skynet itself. Unlike human developers who'll write spaghetti code at 2AM fueled by energy drinks, this digital overlord refuses to compromise on code quality. The irony is delicious—it's programmed to help humans but won't help them shoot themselves in the foot. Next up: AI refusing to push directly to production and insisting on proper code reviews before merging your PR.

Looks like GitHub Copilot just went full 1950s mode! Two functions side by side: one for men that returns the salary unchanged, and another for women that returns 90% of the input. Copilot didn't just write code—it accidentally coded up the gender pay gap! This is what happens when your AI learns from historical data without an ethics class. The machine isn't biased... it just perfectly mirrors our messed-up world. Maybe the next update should include a "modern society" plugin.
