You've got all the big tech players showing up to the AI party in their finest attire—OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Google, Microsoft—looking absolutely fabulous and ready to burn billions on compute. Meanwhile, NVIDIA is sitting alone on the curb eating what appears to be an entire sheet cake, because they're the only ones actually making money in this whole circus. Everyone else is competing to see who can lose the most venture capital while NVIDIA just keeps selling GPUs at markup prices that would make a scalper blush. They're not at the party, they ARE the party.

Someone asked Google about lava lamp problems and got an AI-generated response that's having a full-blown existential crisis. The answer starts coherently enough, then spirals into an infinite loop of "or, or, or, or" like a broken record stuck in production. Apparently the AI overheated harder than the lava lamp itself. It's basically what happens when your LLM starts hallucinating and nobody implemented a token limit. The irony of an AI melting down while explaining overheating is *chef's kiss*. Somewhere, a Google engineer just got paged at 3 AM.

Someone asked Google's AI-powered CLI if it's a serious coding tool or just vaporware after Antigravity's release. The CLI decided to answer by... narrating its entire thought process like a nervous student explaining their homework. "I'm ready. I will send the response. I'm done. I will not verify worker/core.py as it's likely standard." Buddy, we asked a yes/no question, not for your internal monologue. This is what happens when you give an LLM a command line interface—it turns into that coworker who shares every single brain cell firing in the Slack channel. The best part? After all that verbose self-narration ("I will stop thinking. I'm ready. I will respond."), it probably still didn't answer the actual question. Classic AI move: maximum tokens, minimum clarity. This is basically Google's version of "show your work" but the AI took it way too literally. Maybe next update they'll add a --shut-up-and-just-do-it flag.

So Linus Torvalds just casually merged a branch called 'antigravity' where he used Google's AI to fix his visualization tool, and then—PLOT TWIST—had to manually undo everything the AI suggested because it was absolutely terrible. The man literally wrote "Is this much better than I could do by hand? Sure is." with the energy of someone who just spent three hours fixing what AI broke in three seconds. The irony is CHEF'S KISS: the creator of Linux and Git, arguably one of the most brilliant minds in open source, got bamboozled by an AI tool that was "generated with help from google, but of the normal kind" (translation: the AI was confidently wrong as usual). He ended up implementing a custom RectangleSelector because apparently AI thinks "builtin rectangle select" is a good solution when it absolutely is NOT. The title sarcastically suggests Linus doesn't know AI is useless, but honey, he CLEARLY knows. He just documented it for posterity in the most passive-aggressive commit message ever. Nothing says "AI is revolutionary" quite like manually rewriting everything it touched.

Google engineer spends a year building distributed agent orchestrators, probably through countless architecture meetings, design docs, code reviews, and debugging sessions. Then Claude Code recreates it in an hour because someone finally knew how to describe what they actually wanted. The brutal truth: AI coding assistants are incredible when you already know the solution architecture. It's like having a junior dev who codes at 10x speed but needs crystal-clear requirements. The year-long project? That was figuring out what to build. The one-hour recreation? That was just typing it out with extra steps. Turns out the hard part of software engineering was never the coding—it was always the "what the hell are we actually building and why" part. AI just made that painfully obvious.
