The Tech Conspiracy Theorist In All Of Us

Ah yes, the future of Windows: where your AI assistant doesn't just suggest things—it actively hijacks your workflow to serve you ads, invest your money in meme stocks, and disable your keyboard "for your convenience." The pop-up demanding you wait 2 minutes to interact with Copilot unless you pay $100/month is chef's kiss. And naturally, Copilot has already taken the liberty of investing all your money in MSFT because it knows what's best for you. Meanwhile, you're getting helpful tips about how you don't need a mouse anymore—just hold the Copilot key and speak! Because nothing says "productivity" like dictating requests to an AI that's already disabled your peripherals. The screen control request at the bottom is just the cherry on top. Windows 12: where the OS doesn't work for you, you work for the OS.

So someone just announced NERD, a programming language where humans don't write code—they just "observe" it. The workflow? Skim the AI-generated code, run tests, and ship. No actual reading required. Because who needs to understand what they're deploying to production, right? The post casually mentions that 40% of their code is now machine-written, and they spent the year reviewing PRs authored by Claude faster than they could type requirements. The punchline? They weren't really reading it. Just vibing with the vibes and hitting merge. NERD supposedly compiles to native and uses 50-70% fewer tokens, which sounds impressive until you realize the entire premise is "let AI write everything and hope for the best." It's like code review speedrunning—any% glitchless, no comprehension required. The real kicker is calling it "the last missing piece in the AI puzzle." Because nothing says "puzzle complete" like removing human understanding from software development entirely. What could possibly go wrong? 🚀

Behold the mighty tower of "modern digital infrastructure" - a precarious stack of random components that somehow powers the entire internet. Meanwhile, AI is just a slingshot with some angry birds ready to topple the whole damn thing. Ten years of meticulously building cloud architecture, and some intern with a ChatGPT prompt is about to make it all irrelevant. The future of tech, brought to you by the same engineering principles as a game of Jenga.

While Chrome, Edge, and Safari are tripping over themselves to shove AI chatbots into every corner of their UI, Vivaldi just dropped the coldest take in browser history: "Actually, human intelligence is better." 💀 The absolute audacity of releasing version 7.8 with the thesis that *checks notes* humans equipped with good tools don't need algorithmic assistants is chef's kiss levels of contrarian energy. It's like showing up to a Tesla convention in a perfectly maintained 1967 Mustang. Vivaldi basically looked at the billions being poured into AI integration and said "nah, we're good" – which is either the most refreshing stance in tech right now or a marketing strategy so galaxy-brained it loops back to being genius. Either way, respect for zigging while everyone else zags.

Ah yes, the great AI revolution. Step 1: Take existing app. Step 2: Slap on a swirly logo with some hexagons. Step 3: Add "AI" somewhere. Step 4: Profit. Remember when we used to actually code things? Now we just prompt an LLM and hope it doesn't hallucinate our database credentials into a public repo. The modern equivalent of "just add blockchain" from 2017, except this time with more venture capital and fewer functioning products.

The classic "rules for thee but not for me" saga starring OpenAI! First panel shows them smugly scraping the entire internet like digital pirates, building ChatGPT on everyone else's copyrighted content without so much as a "pretty please." But when a Chinese company does the exact same thing to them? Suddenly they're clutching their pearls and reading law books! Turns out intellectual property only matters when it's your intellectual property being "borrowed." The hypocrisy is so thick you could train a neural network on it.
