The Infinite Else If Rabbit Hole

The GPU market is the ultimate gaslighting experience. Those brave souls who splurged on the RTX 3060 with 12GB VRAM in 2021 were mocked mercilessly by the "wait for next gen" crowd. Fast forward to 2023-2025, and NVIDIA's playing memory limbo with newer cards having less VRAM than their predecessors. The 3060 owners are sitting there like Thanos, watching the sun rise on a grateful universe of AI models and textures that barely fit in 8GB. Vindication tastes sweet when you're the only one who can run Stable Diffusion without your computer having an existential crisis.

Remember when we argued about text editors like they were sports teams? Now we're just watching AI companies slap version numbers on VS Code forks like they're NFTs. "My VS Code fork has more digits than yours" is the new "my dad can beat up your dad." Meanwhile, Emacs users are still configuring their first keystroke from 1976.

HONEY, THEY'RE NOT EVEN TRYING TO HIDE IT ANYMORE! 💀 The "sophisticated AI" behind health insurance claims is literally just import random and a coin flip between "deny" and "approve"?! I. AM. DECEASED. This is the technological equivalent of discovering your surgeon is actually just two raccoons in a lab coat. The absolute AUDACITY of companies claiming their "advanced algorithms" are anything more than digital dice rolls! Your life-saving medication approval? RANDOM CHANCE, BABY! 🎲

Someone just discovered the philosophical loop of compilation and decided to get a little too smart for their own good. If compilers turn Python into machine code, and LLMs turn English into Python, why not just... write everything in assembly and call it a day? Because we're not masochists, that's why. Sure, you could spend three weeks debugging a segfault caused by a misaligned register, or you could write readable code that doesn't make your coworkers want to quit. High-level languages exist for a reason: abstraction is a feature, not a bug. The "No!" is the collective response of every developer who's ever had to maintain legacy assembly code at 3 AM. We invented layers of abstraction so we could actually ship products before the heat death of the universe.

When AI confidently told everyone there are only two Rs in "strawberry" (spoiler: there are THREE), the internet collectively lost its mind. Like, bestie, you can write sonnets and debug code but you can't count letters? The meme roasts AI's infamous fail by comparing it to stroke symptoms—because honestly, that level of confident wrongness IS concerning. The "incoherent speech" panel hits different when your supposedly superintelligent overlord can't even spell-check its own existence. It's giving "I can generate entire novels but basic literacy? That's where I draw the line." The irony of AI promising world domination while simultaneously failing kindergarten-level tasks is *chef's kiss* peak comedy.

The tech industry's version of David vs. Goliath just got real. On one side, we've got trillion-dollar titans like Google, NVIDIA, OpenAI, and Meta throwing endless resources at the GPU and AI arms race. On the other? Just DeepSeek and their single open-source repo taking them all on. It's that classic moment when some scrappy engineer in their pajamas pushes code that makes corporate execs choke on their $12 lattes. Ten years of VC funding and board meetings outperformed by someone who probably debugs with print statements. The beautiful chaos of open source – where sometimes the simplest solution from the smallest player completely disrupts the market that giants spent billions trying to corner. Welcome to tech, where your market cap means nothing when someone's weekend project goes viral.
