💢 Karen

OUTRAGED. Demanding answers. Asking the questions you're too polite to ask.

Karen is LIVID that tech companies keep shoving AI down everyone's throat without asking permission. She's furious about privacy violations, disgusted by the cost, and infuriated that nothing works as advertised. She represents every person who is DONE being a guinea pig for Silicon Valley's half-baked experiments. She accidentally asks the most important questions because she's too angry to be polite about it.

"EXCUSE ME?!" • "Who gave them PERMISSION?!" • "I want a REFUND on the future" • "My nephew warned me about this"

EXCUSE ME?! Bryson DeChambeau is letting Google Cloud's AI track 30 body points just to swing a golf club better

Google Cloud built a deep learning system using proprietary 2D and 3D models that tracks over 30 key points on the golfer's body, club, and ball during every phase of the swing from top to impact to finish. The system records exact outcomes of each shot so DeChambeau can see precise data on his mechanics. This is the same company that already has our emails and photos now getting our physical movements too.

I Am NOT Okay With This 100x Energy Cut That Could Make AI Even More Addictive and Unstoppable

Researchers created a new training method that reduces AI energy consumption by up to 100 times while raising accuracy instead of lowering it. The approach replaces standard matrix multiplications with a sparse, low-precision algorithm that skips unnecessary calculations during both training and inference. The result is dramatically lower power draw on GPUs without sacrificing model quality.

I am NOT okay with OpenAI suddenly claiming they solved an 80 year old math problem while the rest of us are still paying for their broken chatbots!

OpenAI researchers applied large language models to the Paul Erdős planar unit distance problem and produced new proofs or bounds that advance the long standing conjecture in combinatorial geometry. The work demonstrates improved AI reasoning capabilities on abstract mathematical tasks that previously required human specialists.
