People Use AI

The beautiful irony here is watching people debate whether AI or humans are the real threat, while completely missing that the bell curve shows they're literally the same distribution. The top panel shows folks arguing about AI safety with the extremes thinking it's either totally controllable or apocalyptically dangerous. The bottom panel? Same exact curve, same exact percentages, just swap "AI" for "people."

It's like running two identical unit tests but changing the variable name and being shocked they both pass. The 68% in the middle are just vibing with reasonable takes while the 0.1% tails are preparing bunkers or writing Medium articles about how everything is fine. The real kicker is that whoever made this probably used AI to generate it, creating a beautiful recursive loop of irony.

Plot twist: maybe the dangerous ones are the 34% on each side who are slightly concerned but not enough to actually do anything about it. That's the sweet spot where bugs make it to production.

The Ancient Wizard's Delight

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute audacity of junior devs thinking ChatGPT will solve all their problems! 💅 Senior devs are CACKLING like ancient wizards on their thrones watching these poor souls copy-paste AI gibberish that explodes in production. The sweet, sweet schadenfreude of watching someone learn the hard way that AI can't save you from understanding your own code. It's like watching a toddler try to microwave a fork - HORRIFYING yet you just can't look away!

Without Borrowing Ideas, True Innovation Remains Out Of Reach

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 Algorithms Miss The Emotional Context

The Reddit algorithm has commitment issues worse than those wedding day deserters. You're scrolling through a thread about people abandoning their partners at the altar, and BAM—suddenly you're being pitched a GitHub issue processor for AI coding that costs less than a gumball. It's like the algorithm saw a thread about relationship abandonment and thought, "You know what this person needs? Some cheap API calls!" The digital equivalent of responding to someone's breakup story with "That's rough buddy, wanna see my new keyboard shortcuts?"

Perfect Reddit Screen

The absolute irony is chef's kiss. You've got a post about Microsoft scaling back Copilot because nobody's using it, immediately followed by an ad for Claude Code that writes tests. It's like watching AI tools fight for relevance while developers collectively shrug and go back to Stack Overflow. The real kicker? That post has 18.6k upvotes and 2.1k comments—turns out the only thing developers love more than ignoring AI tools is dunking on them in the comments. Microsoft probably spent billions on Copilot just to discover that devs would rather suffer through writing boilerplate themselves than let an AI "help" them. Meanwhile, Claude's ad is sitting there like "Hey, we can write tests!" as if anyone actually enjoys writing tests enough to pay attention to ads about them. The juxtaposition is *perfection*—it's the tech equivalent of a weight loss ad appearing right after a post about how diets don't work.

We Hired Wrong AI Team

When management thought they were hiring cutting-edge machine learning engineers to build sophisticated neural networks, but instead got developers who think "AI implementation" means wrapping OpenAI's API in a for-loop and calling it innovation. The real tragedy here is that half the "AI startups" out there are literally just doing this. They're not training models, they're not fine-tuning anything—they're just prompt engineers with a Stripe account. But hey, at least they remembered to add error handling... right? Right? Plot twist: This approach actually works 90% of the time, which is why VCs keep throwing money at it.

Quality Over Quantity

Turns out copying and pasting the same AI-generated cover letter 2,000 times doesn't trick the hiring algorithm after all! Who would've thought that recruiters might catch on to the generic "I'm passionate about leveraging synergies" template that reads like it was written by a bot having a stroke? The job market's already brutal enough without shooting yourself in the foot with ChatGPT's mediocre writing skills. The best part? These grads probably spent more time figuring out how to automate their applications than it would've taken to write 10 genuine ones that might've actually worked.
