The Lone Light Of Productivity

Spending 10 days automating a 10-minute task is basically the programmer's version of "work smarter, not harder." Sure, you could just do it manually and be done with it, but where's the fun in that? Real programmers see a repetitive task and immediately think "I could write a script for this" even if they'll only ever run it twice. The math doesn't math, but the principle is sacred. You'll save so much time... eventually... theoretically... in like 5 years if you do this task 144 more times. But hey, at least you learned three new libraries and refactored it four times along the way.

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.
