The Double Standard Of AI Theft

Look at us flexing with our fancy Python, JavaScript, and LLM integrations while the entire banking system runs on COBOL written by someone who retired in 1997. The real heroes aren't the bodybuilders showing off their shiny new frameworks—it's the lone programmer carrying decades of legacy code on their shoulders. Nothing says job security quite like being the only person who remembers how to maintain systems that process trillions of dollars daily but can't handle Y2K without duct tape and prayers.

Oh. My. GOD. 🤦‍♂️ We've reached peak technological confusion! Someone is literally asking if an AI can compile their source code into an EXE file instead of, you know, USING AN ACTUAL COMPILER like the rest of us mere mortals who spent years learning how computers actually work! The absolute AUDACITY to skip the entire software development process and just ask AI to magically poof an executable into existence! Next they'll be asking ChatGPT to make them a sandwich while debugging their non-existent code! This is what happens when "learn to code" tutorials skip the chapter on "what compilation actually is" and jump straight to "just ask the robots to do it!"

Behold, the final form of tech recruitment marketing! Some poor soul manually grinding LeetCode problems with a frowny face, checkmarks for "Shitty job," "No money," and "No girlfriend" versus the mythical "Chad" who outsources his algorithmic suffering to an AI tool and magically acquires a "FAANG job," "$600k total comp," and "Two girlfriends." Because clearly, the only thing standing between you and beach-lounging with multiple romantic partners is... *checks notes*... not solving merge sort by hand? The desperation in this ad is so thick you could debug it with a breakpoint.

PC gamers getting absolutely demolished from every possible angle. Bitcoin miners drove GPU prices to the moon, AI training suddenly needs every RTX card ever manufactured, and Micron casually dipped out of the consumer market. Meanwhile NVIDIA's just standing there watching the chaos unfold, probably calculating profit margins. And then there's "Poor Optimization" - the real villain nobody wants to talk about. Your dream PC getting absolutely kicked in the teeth because some AAA studio decided 8GB VRAM should be the minimum for their unoptimized mess. You can't even upgrade your way out of bad code. The GPU shortage era was wild. People were camping Newegg like it was a Supreme drop, paying scalper prices that would make a loan shark blush, all while game devs kept pushing "recommended specs" higher. Fun times.
