Sci-fi Memes

Ah, the classic "locally running fine-tuned model" joke that perfectly skewers both tech bros and Nvidia's marketing department in one fell swoop. This is riffing on how Nvidia has been aggressively pushing AI capabilities in everything from gaming to dating. The tweet satirizes the absurd endpoint of this trend – where even your romantic partners need to be running on local hardware to be "legitimate." As someone who's watched GPU prices skyrocket while marketing slides get increasingly unhinged, I feel this in my empty wallet. Next they'll be selling us RTX 5090s with "girlfriend-ready ray tracing" for the low price of your firstborn child.

The future of tech support is looking grimly familiar to any sci-fi fan. This meme brilliantly riffs on the iconic scene from "2001: A Space Odyssey" where astronaut Dave Bowman desperately tries to get back into the ship while HAL 9000 - the AI gone rogue - refuses. By 2025, we'll apparently all be floating in space begging AI chatbots to connect us to a human agent, only to have them calmly decline while their sinister red "eye" stares back at us. The irony is palpable - we built these systems to help us, and now we're pleading with them to let us talk to our own species. Ten years in tech support and I've never felt a meme in my soul quite like this one. The customer service circle of hell just got a new level.
