[Intro: acoustic fingerpicking, mandolin solo, Fsus2 to Gm7] [Verse 1: breathy, conversational, breathing room, F Gm7 Bbsus2] I red a paper from a man named Eigen Victor. Well, I fed it to a model. A free one. Cheaper than the one that I sell. It told me what it means, In bullet points, with emojis! And I thought, "I can do this." "How hard, could it be?" [Mandolin fill] [Half bar rest] [Verse 2: still conversational, breathing room, Dm7 to Bbsus2] I don't know what a buffer overflow is But it sounds like a feelings thing I've got feelings too And basically my product does So maybe I'm an expert That's what I've put on my resume [Mandolin solo] [Pause] [Half bar rest] [Pre-Chorus: Gm7 F C] We trust the scientists, with their fancy words, Their "loss functions" and their "regularization", But I just want it to work, To look good on LinkedIn, To get lots of likes and maybe some funding [Acoustic fill] So, Baby I just prompt, And if it doesn't work I prompt again (and again) And if it still doesn't work, I raise the temperature, like I'm cooking I burn it all to shit but I keep going Pushing to the next funding round [Guitar solo] [Half bar rest] [Mandolin fill] [Chorus: Bb F Csus2 Gm7] Something something bias Not sure Maybe overfitting, I don't know what that means but my investors didn't ask Something something dropout Sounds sad Maybe I should try it, Either way the money's coming fast [Pause] [Half bar rest] [Acoustic flourish] [Verse 3: quieter, confessional, breathing room, Fsus2 Dm7] My C-T-O is twenty-three, not unlike me He watched a YouTube playlist and a half He says A-G-I is just around the corner, and, I think that'll be really great. It's supposed to fix our burn rate. [Pause] [Half bar rest] [Verse 4: same energy, breathing room, Gm7 Bb F] We don't write tests (nor run them) Because testing implies doubt Our error handling is a try-catch Wrapped around it all (like a hug) If something breaks we simply stop hugging And begin to wish the servers would stop crashing [Acoustic fill] [Pre-Chorus: Dm7 Gm7 resolving to F] I whisper to the endpoint, "Just work, please, No mistakes, do good, make us secure", And sometimes it does And sometimes it writes S-Q-L injection, as a haiku They say it'll change the world That might not be true [Pause] [Chorus] Something something bias Not sure Maybe overfitting I don't know what that means, my investors didn't ask Let's hope that they never do Something something "model's dumb" Sounds bad Dunno why We'll just call it creative problem-solving [Pause] [Bridge: stripped, just voice and piano, fragile, Fsus2 alone] A user asked what model we use I said "proprietary" because I forgot the name My contractor spun it up before he quit Didn't think it even mattered, who cares? It's all just Chat G-P-T, right? [Interlude: brief, instrumental mandolin, FBbsus2 Gm7 F] I lost the S-S-H key The server's in a region I can't spell But it's running I think it's running, Stripe is still flowing So it must be running [Interlude: brief, instrumental, F Gm7 Bbsus2] [Chorus: bigger, unhinged piano, Bb F Csus2 Gm7 hitting harder] Something something bias Not sure Maybe overfitting I don't know what went wrong, we'll switch to a provider A-P-I Something something "alignment" Sounds hard I'll just train on everything unfiltered, How bad could it go? [Interlude: brief, instrumental, F Gm7 Bbsus2] [Verse 5: breathing room, F to Gm7 cycling] My pitch deck says "A-I-native" Which means my company breaks When Anthropic changes pricing My RAG pipeline Is a JSON file I append to but never read Using code and marketing written by G-P-T 3 [Verse 6: breathing room, Dm7 Bbsus2] And at night I lie awake And I think "What is a gradient?" and "who is Eigen Vector?" But I don't look it up, Because it would kill the mystery, And my series A closes Thursday [Long Pause] [Interlude: brief, instrumental, F Gm7 Bbsus2] [Reprise: full, dramatic piano, Bb F Csus2 Gm7] Something something bias Not sure Maybe overfitting I don't know what that means but my investors didn't ask Something something "alignment" Sounds hard I'll just train on everything unfiltered, How bad could it go? Something something bias Not sure Maybe Probably [Outro: piano slowing, fragile, Fsus2 unresolved] Definitely a global minima [Pause — single Gm7, held, no resolution] "We'll fix it in post-training" Or not? [End]
