What Could Go Wrong

The resume inflation has begun! We've all seen that one colleague who suddenly became an "AI expert" after using ChatGPT twice. Five years from now, we'll be sitting in interviews listening to people explain how they've been "pioneering machine learning solutions" since 2023, when in reality they just figured out how to prompt an LLM without it hallucinating too badly. The true AI skill of our generation? Convincing robots not to write poems when you just want them to fix your regex.

The precarious state of AI infrastructure in a single image. At the top, we have a massive elephant (the multi-billion parameter model) balancing on a beach ball (properly configured CUDA drivers). Meanwhile, the entire operation is held up by two ants labeled as "unpaid PhD students" who are desperately keeping the computing cluster running with nothing but SSH access and blind optimism. This is basically the tech equivalent of a nuclear reactor being maintained by two interns with duct tape and a Wikipedia printout. And yet, somehow, this is how we're building the future of technology.

The corporate tech evolution in one image! On the left, we have Steve Ballmer's infamous sweaty "DEVELOPERS!" chant from 2000—back when human coders were the golden ticket to success. Fast forward to 2023, and CEOs are now calmly announcing how AI will "revolutionize our lives" while simultaneously telling HR to fire thousands of the same developers they once desperately needed. The tech industry's relationship status with developers: "It's complicated." Yesterday's rockstars are today's budget line items. Nothing says "thanks for building our trillion-dollar empires" quite like being replaced by the very tools you created.

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.

While scientists fret about AI overlords, some of us have found a more practical solution to the robot uprising. Nothing says "checkmate, Skynet" like a well-aimed shower head to the motherboard. Sure, they might develop consciousness, but they haven't figured out waterproofing yet. The oldest IT solution in the book: have you tried turning it off and making it wet forever?

Classic Twitter thread where someone who's built absolutely nothing claims AI will replace programmers. First guy says a $200 ChatGPT subscription can replace $145k junior devs. Then a real developer steps in with the reality check: AI needs human supervision to prevent hallucinations and feature creep. When challenged to show what he's built, the AI doomsayer admits he hasn't actually created anything. That thumbs up at the end is just *chef's kiss* - nothing says "I'm qualified to predict the demise of your profession" like having zero experience in said profession.
