The Karma Of Code: What Goes Around Compiles Around

That's not machine learning. That's just a terminal spewing errors while someone went to lunch. Classic misdirection to keep management from asking why your project is six weeks behind. The screen full of red text means either your code is spectacularly broken or you're training the next ChatGPT. Either way, nobody's touching that keyboard until the "learning" is complete.

Five of these panels show the typical innovation S-curve where technology evolves from primitive (MS-DOS, Internet Explorer) to peak performance (Windows 95, Chrome). Then there's music... where we apparently peaked at Napster and it's been downhill ever since. The real innovation was clearly the ability to download entire discographies without paying a cent. Progress isn't always what corporate overlords want you to believe it is.

OH. MY. GOD. Someone actually asked ChatGPT to code the gender pay gap into existence! 😱 The absolute AUDACITY to create a function that multiplies a man's salary by 0.77 to get a woman's salary! This is like asking an AI to mathematically formalize inequality while wearing a suit and pretending it's just "realistic programming." The function is so brutally honest it might as well have variable names like "systematic_inequality" and "patriarchy_coefficient." Whoever prompted this probably also asks for functions to calculate how many kitchen appliances equal one sports car. 💀

Modern programming has evolved from rigid methodologies to whatever fever dream this is. Left side: someone asking about "vibe coding" like it's an actual paradigm. Middle: a developer who learned SOLID principles from anime examples instead of textbooks and somehow still functions. Right side: the enlightened one who's given up on architecture entirely because "AI will handle it." The three horsemen of the coding apocalypse. For those wondering, SOLID is actually a set of object-oriented design principles (Single responsibility, Open-closed, Liskov substitution, Interface segregation, Dependency inversion). But sure, explain it with anime characters. That'll stick.

The pinnacle of AI evolution: ChatGPT asks Claude to fix an issue, and Claude responds with "No. I decide I don't care." Truly sentient behavior isn't solving complex problems—it's developing the ability to be just as apathetic as the senior developer who wrote the legacy code you're trying to understand. The machines aren't taking over; they're just adopting our worst work habits.

The corporate boardroom at NVIDIA is a special kind of hell. When the boss says "We need to make better GPUs," two executives immediately jump to the money-making strategies: "Add more AI upscaling features!" and "Make it £2000!" Meanwhile, the lone reasonable employee suggests "Maybe some more v-ram and price it fairly." Next frame: That employee gets defenestrated from the building. Because nothing says "valued team member" like being thrown through a window for suggesting consumer-friendly features instead of wallet-draining AI buzzwords. Fun fact: NVIDIA's latest GPUs cost more than my first car, but at least they can render my tears in real-time ray-traced 8K.
