Have You Tried Turning It Off And On Again?

Have You Tried Turning It Off And On Again?
The universal IT solution strikes again. While medical equipment keeping someone alive seems like it might warrant a more sophisticated troubleshooting approach than "turn it off and on again," you can't argue with the classics. Somewhere, a hospital administrator is updating their runbook: "Step 1: Reboot patient. Step 2: If patient doesn't respond, check if they're plugged in properly."

Have You Tried Turning It Off And On Again?
The classic "have you tried turning it off and on again?" approach has apparently made it to the operating room! When your code throws inexplicable errors, rebooting is your Hail Mary pass. When your patient flatlines... maybe try literally anything else first? The terrifying reality that the same troubleshooting logic we apply to our stubborn servers is being suggested for human bodies is peak programmer humor. Next they'll be suggesting to check if the patient is properly plugged in or needs a firmware update.

What AI Could Do vs. What Humans Actually Use It For

What AI Could Do vs. What Humans Actually Use It For
The noble aspirations of AI research versus the grim reality of where computational power actually goes. On the left, we have AI detecting breast cancer 5 years before it develops—potentially saving countless lives. On the right, some poor GPU is being absolutely tortured to render a cow at 15 FPS in what appears to be the world's jankiest video game, complete with a rage-filled gamer screaming about "fake frames." It's the perfect encapsulation of humanity's priorities: we build supercomputers that could solve humanity's greatest challenges, then immediately use them to make slightly better cow animations. The bottom corner showing all those graphics settings (RTX, DLSS, etc.) is just the chef's kiss of overkill for whatever that monstrosity is supposed to be.

The AI Approval Process

The AI Approval Process
HONEY, THEY'RE NOT EVEN TRYING TO HIDE IT ANYMORE! 💀 The "sophisticated AI" behind health insurance claims is literally just import random and a coin flip between "deny" and "approve"?! I. AM. DECEASED. This is the technological equivalent of discovering your surgeon is actually just two raccoons in a lab coat. The absolute AUDACITY of companies claiming their "advanced algorithms" are anything more than digital dice rolls! Your life-saving medication approval? RANDOM CHANCE, BABY! 🎲

Is Scratch Considered A Programming Language

Is Scratch Considered A Programming Language
The code blocks in this Scratch program are implementing what appears to be a doctor's appointment speedrun algorithm. Each block meticulously outlines the NPC-like movements required to navigate healthcare: door → reception → receptionist → doctor. But then the punchline hits with "I am legally not allowed to finish this joke" - implying the program was about to execute some hilariously dark healthcare system critique that would violate Scratch's family-friendly policies. It's basically the programming equivalent of self-censoring right before dropping the spiciest take on the American healthcare system. Truly chaotic neutral energy.
