## Behold! The Pinnacle of Human Achievement: Shaving Cream, Ping Pong Balls & Slightly Less Useless AI
Seriously? *This* is where we are? We’ve conquered space travel, unlocked the secrets of DNA (sort of), and invented avocado toast, but apparently the apex of human endeavor now involves… shaving cream and table tennis balls. Because why not? It’s only fitting, really. Given how quickly things devolve into absurdity these days.
Apparently, some team of brilliant minds – and I use that term with a generous dollop of irony – has spent countless hours training a large language model to… well, I’m not entirely sure *what* it does. But the press release boasts about its “remarkable capabilities” demonstrated through tasks involving, you guessed it, shaving cream and ping pong balls.
I picture a room full of very serious individuals in lab coats meticulously documenting the AI’s reaction to different foam consistencies. “Subject 74B displays a nuanced understanding of ball bounce trajectories when exposed to two-canister shave!” Riveting stuff. I bet funding for that project could have solved world hunger, or at least bought everyone a decent pair of socks.
And this is supposed to be groundbreaking? A testament to innovation? It’s a distraction! A shiny bauble designed to make us feel like progress is happening when really we’re just spiraling further down the rabbit hole of increasingly pointless technological pursuits.
Let’s be honest, I could have trained a hamster to achieve similar results with enough sunflower seeds and a miniature ping pong table. It would probably have been less expensive too. But hey, at least it would have provided entertainment. This? This just provides me with the overwhelming urge to buy a can of shaving cream and launch some ping pong balls in frustrated protest. It’s all quite… something.
