Tech Companies Plot Elaborate Scheme to Teach AI to Work from Home
In an astonishing twist that absolutely no one predicted—except perhaps, every single remote worker on planet Earth—tech companies have decided that AI should emulate the human experience by working from home, or rather, “at the edge.” This revelation comes as a desperate attempt to keep AI from turning data centers into intergalactic black holes of power consumption.
Drew Robb, a self-proclaimed techno-oracle (or just a guy on the internet), painstakingly illustrates how shuffling AI off to the edge of networks is nothing short of a technological hokey-pokey. “You put your AI in, you take the data centers out, you do the edge-computing and you shake it all about,” Robb explained while performing a slightly out-of-sync interpretive dance.
Why, you ask, are we sending AI on a permanent remote retreat? Turns out, training AI in crowded data center cubicles has been burning more energy than an entire season of Burning Man. According to anonymous sources that may or may not have been a sentient vending machine, AI is demanding some serious boundary expansion for its new office cubicle—the very edge of existence itself.
Experts say edge computing is akin to sending AI on a team-building retreat with Mother Nature. “We’re really hoping this will lead AI to discover the true meaning of life and maybe pick up some recycling tips,” stated Dr. Chip Buffer, renowned digital mystic and proponent of AI yoga-in-the-workplace. “And if we save a few megawatts in the process, that would be excellent too.”
In a magnificent show of support, tech companies have begun designing tiny office sweaters for AI algorithms to cope with the emotional coldness of working remotely. “Sure, all AI really needs is adequate bandwidth,” a company spokesperson giggled nervously, “but a nice sweater always helps.”
While critics argue this strategy reeks of desperation wrapped in technobabble, supporters insist that shunning the warmth of centralized data centers is just what we need to inspire AI to compose its first emotional poetry anthology: “Lines of Code and the Path to the Edge.”
Will moving AI to the network edge save the planet, or simply allow the machines to enjoy a nice home office vibe and maybe a latte or two? The jury’s out, but one thing remains clear: AI’s shift to working at the edge has set a precedent, and humanity’s hubris is ready for another spin cycle in the digital age’s washing machine of absurdity.
