Dall-e Memes

The progression from recreational substances to AI news is the ultimate burnout pipeline. While alcohol makes you squinty, weed makes you red-eyed, and cocaine makes you wide-awake paranoid, nothing compares to the soul-crushing exhaustion of trying to track every new AI model release, capability, and controversy. Your eyeballs practically melt into your skull as you desperately refresh Hacker News every 4 minutes to see if your programming skills are obsolete yet. It's like being in an abusive relationship with Moore's Law where the breakup text is written in DALL-E generated hieroglyphics.

The duality of AI theft reactions is pure comedy gold! Designers freak out when DALL-E 2 uses their images for generating art, screaming about illegality and copyright. Meanwhile, programmers are so desperate for working code that when ChatGPT admits to scanning GitHub and stealing their code, they're just like "Cool. Did you get it to work?" Because let's be honest—if the AI managed to make that spaghetti code function properly, we're not mad... we're impressed. The true 10x developer is the one who knows how to properly plagiarize with AI assistance!

The evolution of professional ethics in the digital age is... something else. Designers freak out when AI scrapes their artwork: "NO! THIS IS ILLEGAL!" Meanwhile, programmers hear that ChatGPT pillaged their GitHub repos and their first question is "Did it actually compile though?" Nothing captures the programmer mindset better than skipping past the copyright violation and jumping straight to "but does it work?" Because let's be honest - if ChatGPT can make sense of your spaghetti code, you might as well hire it.

The ultimate double standard! 😂 While designers freak out when DALL-E 2 steals their artwork, programmers are over here like "You stole my GitHub code? Sweet! Did you actually make that garbage run properly?" It's the coding equivalent of saying "I left that mess on purpose as a trap for the next poor soul!" The desperation of "pls fix my garbage code" is the silent plea we've all made when sharing our repos. We're not stealing code, we're just... collaboratively debugging . 👨‍💻✨
