The Data Harvesting Summit

The Data Harvesting Summit
The annual tech CEO parking lot summit where they compare notes on who can collect the most user data while still claiming "privacy is our top priority" in their ToS. Meanwhile, their developers are frantically building backdoors while telling themselves "it's just for analytics purposes." The real innovation isn't in their products—it's in the increasingly creative ways they convince us to click "I Agree."

The AI Money Laundering Triangle

The AI Money Laundering Triangle
OH. MY. GOD. The tech industry's most dramatic love triangle has formed! 💸 NVIDIA, Oracle, and OpenAI are just passing HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS back and forth like it's Monopoly money while the rest of us cry in our ramen noodles! The meme shows these tech giants in a circular money-laundering scheme that would make any financial regulator FAINT. NVIDIA sells chips to everyone, OpenAI buys datacenters, Oracle buys chips - and they're ALL crying tears of joy while swimming in cash! Meanwhile, the tweet at the bottom announces NVIDIA throwing another $10B at Anthropic because apparently there wasn't enough AI money madness already! The tech bubble isn't just inflating - it's practically SCREAMING in helium!

Lowkey The Dream

Lowkey The Dream
The first three years follow the standard tech career trajectory—modest starting salary, asking for a raise, job hopping for better pay. Then comes the plot twist: getting hit by a Google bus and receiving a $35.67M settlement, before returning to the grind with a promotion worth $146K. Turns out the fastest path to wealth in Silicon Valley isn't stock options or founding a startup—it's carefully timing your morning commute near the Google campus.

How To Get 2 Billion Valuation

How To Get 2 Billion Valuation
The secret sauce to startup valuation in 2024: change your loading spinners to "thinking..." and boom — you're an AI company! Venture capitalists are frantically throwing term sheets at anyone who can make their app pretend to contemplate existence. The best part? The code behind it is still the same janky setTimeout() that's been crashing in production since 2018. But hey, fake it till you make it a unicorn, right?

On My Way To Burn Billions For AGI

On My Way To Burn Billions For AGI
Tech bros with VC money have a unique approach to AI development: just keep burning cash until something works. It's like debugging with a flamethrower. "Have we achieved artificial general intelligence yet?" "No, but we've achieved artificial general bankruptcy quite efficiently." The Silicon Valley strategy of throwing billions at a problem until either the problem gives up or your investors do. Venture capitalists call this "iterative innovation" - normal people call it "setting money on fire while wearing cool sunglasses."

FAANG Is Outdated, Welcome To The GAYMAN Era

FAANG Is Outdated, Welcome To The GAYMAN Era
The tech industry's obsession with acronyms just got an upgrade. Remember when everyone wanted to work at FAANG (Facebook/Meta, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google)? Well, throw that resume in the trash. Now we've got GAYMAN – Google, Amazon, Y-combinator (I guess?), Meta, Apple, Nvidia. Because nothing says "I'm tracking the market" like reorganizing the same companies every 6 months into increasingly questionable acronyms. Notice how Netflix got kicked to the curb faster than a junior dev who pushed to production on Friday afternoon. Meanwhile, Nvidia swooped in riding that sweet, sweet AI GPU money train. The circle of tech life continues.

Instant AI Startup: Just Add Buzzwords

Instant AI Startup: Just Add Buzzwords
STOP. EVERYTHING. The sheer AUDACITY of changing "loading..." to "thinking..." and suddenly declaring yourself an AI startup! 💅 The venture capitalists are literally THROWING money at their screens right now! Who needs actual innovation when you can just rebrand a progress spinner and add "agentic" to your pitch deck? Congratulations, you've just increased your valuation by 500 million dollars for absolutely NOTHING. Silicon Valley, take notes! This is how you disrupt an industry - one loading state at a time! *chef's kiss*

Looks Good To Merge (Into Traffic)

Looks Good To Merge (Into Traffic)
For those not in the know, "LGTM" = "Looks Good To Me" - the four most dangerous words in code review history. This tweet brilliantly captures Silicon Valley's work-life balance (or complete lack thereof). When your Uber driver is simultaneously reviewing pull requests while navigating traffic, you know tech culture has gone too far. The ultimate multitasking fail: merging code while merging lanes. Somewhere, a project manager is thrilled about the increased productivity while everyone else is praying they make it to their destination alive. The hustle culture has officially jumped the shark!

Is This The AI Bubble?

Is This The AI Bubble?
Oracle's giant inflatable bubble proclaiming "AI changes everything" is the perfect metaphor for the tech industry's current state. Billions in funding, grandiose promises, and what do we get? A big blue balloon that could pop at any moment. Just like the dot-com bubble, but with more buzzwords and fewer viable business models. Next year they'll probably need a bigger dome for "Blockchain Quantum AI changes everything... again."

The Infinite Money Glitch: Silicon Valley Edition

The Infinite Money Glitch: Silicon Valley Edition
The perfect corporate ouroboros doesn't exi— Nvidia just created the world's most expensive power strip that plugs into itself. $100 billion flows from Nvidia to OpenAI, only to flow right back to Nvidia for more GPUs. It's like watching a tech company play hot potato with its own money, except the potato is made of gold and nobody's actually passing it. Jensen Huang is basically that kid who gives you $20 to buy his lemonade, then brags about making $20 in sales. Except the lemonade costs $100 billion and requires a data center to cool it.

This Isn't A Bubble (It's Just Financial Magic)

This Isn't A Bubble (It's Just Financial Magic)
OMG, the AUDACITY of tech bros thinking stock market fairy dust pays for ACTUAL HARDWARE! 💀 OpenAI is over here like "we'll just announce our partnership and POOF! $78 BILLION appears out of thin air to pay for your chips!" Meanwhile, AMD's sitting there wondering if these AI geniuses understand that GPUs require REAL MONEY, not vibes and press releases. The absolute financial gymnastics happening here would make Wall Street blush! "Just give us back stock that we'll magically inflate with our announcement!" HONEY, THAT'S NOT HOW COMMERCE WORKS! The dot-com bubble called from 1999 and wants its delusional business model back!

To Infinity And Buzzwords

To Infinity And Buzzwords
HONEY, ANOTHER TECH BRO THINKS HIS AI STARTUP IS REVOLUTIONARY! 🙄 The top panel shows some delusional founder with that manic "I just discovered ChatGPT" gleam in his eyes, screaming about disrupting the entire industry. Meanwhile, the actual industry (represented by endless shelves of identical products) is just sitting there like "Sure, Jan." The industry has heard this EXACT same pitch 47,000 times this week alone and is completely unfazed by your "groundbreaking" idea that's basically just GPT with a fancy logo slapped on it. REVOLUTIONARY INDEED! *dramatically faints onto keyboard*
