Tower Of Hanoi: Humbling Humans And AI Alike

That moment when you realize the "simple" Tower of Hanoi puzzle that entertains toddlers has become the new benchmark for exposing AI limitations. Programmers have been sweating over this recursive nightmare for decades, and now we're watching advanced LLMs fail at it too. Nothing quite validates your career choices like seeing a $100 billion AI model struggle with the same puzzle that made you question your life decisions during your first algorithms class. The screaming red face is just our collective internal monologue when debugging recursive functions.

Ai Goes Vroom

The stark reality of AI development! 🤣 At the top, we've got the cool, confident "Devs who use AI" looking all polished and ready to conquer the world with their fancy prompt engineering skills. Meanwhile, the poor souls actually building these AI systems are down there looking like they haven't slept since 2019, surrounded by empty bottles and existential dread. Nothing says "I understand the transformer architecture" quite like staring into the void at 4pm wondering if your neural network will ever converge! The contrast is BRUTAL - one group thinks they're tech wizards for asking ChatGPT to write their regex, while the other group is questioning their life choices after debugging hallucinations for the fifth straight day!

That exhausted look when your coworker won't shut up about AI. The quotation marks around "programmers" say it all - real devs are busy fixing merge conflicts while the ChatGPT enthusiasts are planning how AI will write their next project. Meanwhile, the rest of us just want to finish our coffee before it gets cold.

SWE-Bench Verified: Thinking Optional

The chart hilariously reveals that GPT-5 scores a whopping 74.9% accuracy on software engineering benchmarks, but the pink bars tell the real story – 52.8% of that is achieved "without thinking" while only a tiny sliver comes from actual "thinking." Meanwhile, OpenAI's o3 and GPT-4o trail behind with 69.1% and 30.8% respectively, with apparently zero thinking involved. It's basically saying these AI models are just regurgitating patterns rather than performing actual reasoning. The perfect metaphor for when your code works but you have absolutely no idea why.

The Perfect Tech Revenge

Oh. My. GOD. The existential crisis of our generation in TWO FRAMES?! 💀 First he's like "I don't care if AI wins over programmers" acting all tough and unbothered. Then BOOM—the punchline hits: "I just need FAANG to lose." It's the tech industry's villain origin story! Doesn't care about the robot apocalypse as long as those Silicon Valley giants get taken down with us. The PETTINESS! The DRAMA! The absolute CHAOS of prioritizing corporate revenge over humanity's survival! We're not just coding anymore, we're picking sides in the tech civil war. And honestly? Mood.
