Tech bubble Memes

The classic startup founder strategy: drop buzzwords like "AI" and "ML" while looking suspiciously like a baby in a tuxedo threatening investors. Nothing says "I'm totally qualified to run a tech company" like combining artificial intelligence jargon with mild extortion! The tiny suit really sells the "I've definitely completed multiple successful exits" vibe. VC funding secured in 3... 2... 1...

The secret to tech wealth in 2025? Just slap "AI" on literally anything! Remember when we called them "scripts" and "automation"? Now they're "autonomous agents" with a 500% markup. Next week I'll be renaming my if-statements to "neural decision nodes" and retiring to my private island. The venture capital money practically throws itself at you!

Oh god, this is brilliant. Just imagine all those LinkedIn posts now: "Our new cocaine-powered chatbot will revolutionize customer service!" or "Top 10 ways cocaine will disrupt your industry!" The tech hype cycle and the actual cocaine cycle have the same phases: initial euphoria, inflated expectations, crushing disappointment, and somehow still costing you all your money. The only difference is one crashes after 20 minutes and the other after your next funding round.

The classic tech startup bait-and-switch! Some poor guy named Steve from Builder.io desperately trying to clarify "THIS IS A DIFFERENT COMPANY" while a satirical headline claims Builder.ai collapsed after revealing their "$1.5 BILLION AI UNICORN" was actually just... *checks notes*... Indian developers writing code manually. The irony is chef's-kiss perfect. Venture capitalists throwing billions at anything with ".ai" in the name while actual human programmers do the work behind the curtain. Meanwhile, Steve's just trying to enjoy his coffee without getting dragged into another company's PR nightmare because of domain name confusion. In 2023, just slap "AI" on your company name and watch the funding roll in! Who needs neural networks when you have perfectly good humans with keyboards?

The secret to tech wealth in 2023? Just rebrand your boring old workflows as "AI Agents" and watch investors throw money at you! It's the Silicon Valley equivalent of putting avocado on toast and charging $15 for it. No actual AI required - just slap the buzzword on your LinkedIn profile and prepare for the venture capital tsunami. The modern tech grift at its finest... I mean, "innovative disruption strategy."

The eternal VC funding dance. Top panel shows startup founders desperately holding up an "AI" label when asked what powers their startup. Bottom panel reveals the truth: it's just "Algorithms" – you know, the thing programmers have been using since computers existed. Nothing says "add three zeros to your valuation" quite like slapping "AI" on your if-else statements. Venture capitalists can't throw money fast enough when they hear those two magical letters.

OMG, venture capitalists are LITERALLY WORSHIPPING autocomplete now! 😱 Silicon Valley VCs seeing predictive text and immediately falling to their knees like they've witnessed the second coming. "Look! It finished my sentence! TAKE MY MILLIONS!" Meanwhile, actual engineers are in the corner having existential crises watching investors throw cash at glorified pattern recognition. The bar for "revolutionary technology" has fallen so low you could trip over it while scrolling through TikTok. And yet here we are, watching the money people treat basic AI features like they've discovered fire. PEAK COMEDY.

The tech industry's obsession with AI in a nutshell. Companies rebrand basic algorithms as "AI" while VCs throw money at anything with those two magical letters. Meanwhile, developers watching from the sidelines know it's just another overhyped technology that'll eventually join blockchain and NFTs in the graveyard of "revolutionary paradigm shifts." The corporate world can't tell the difference because they're too busy adding "AI-powered" to their pitch decks to secure that sweet, sweet funding.

The great AI revolution has arrived... or has it? On the left, we have the muscular "Expectation" Doge representing those grandiose AI promises: code generators so powerful they'll make human developers obsolete! On the right, there's the pathetic "Reality" Doge – the actual AI that can't even handle a simple "Hello World" program without hallucinating semicolons. Meanwhile, executives who dumped "gazillion dollars" into AI development are frantically laying off actual programmers to cover their bad investment. Because nothing says "our AI strategy is working perfectly" like firing the people who could fix the AI's broken code. The corporate playbook never changes: overpromise, underdeliver, then blame the humans. At least the shareholders will feel better about those quarterly losses!
