Inception Scores $50 Million to Teach Machines How to Bullshit in Code and Text

Oh wonderful, another bunch of tech geniuses raised a goddamn $50 million to build diffusion models that can spit out both code and text. Because clearly, what the world desperately needs is more AI that can “collaborate with developers” and “generate documentation”—aka, commit beautifully formatted digital bullshit at industrial scale.

Inception—yeah, that’s the totally original name they’re going with—claims it’s building “multimodal AI models” that’ll make writing code and text faster. Basically, they’ve reinvented autocomplete with a fancy model name, sprinkled buzzwords like “diffusion-based architecture” all over it, and managed to convince investors it’s the next step toward machines doing everyone’s jobs while people clap like trained seals.

Their platform allegedly “helps developers write better code” and “generates coherent documentation.” Translation: it’ll randomly vomit out code fragments that fail silently in production and craft text so plausible you’ll only realize it’s wrong after it’s posted to production. Genius-level disruption right there.

Investors, drooling over their AI Kool-Aid, threw their cash into the firepit faster than an intern clicking “sudo rm -rf /”. Everyone’s hyped that Inception’s training methods are different—some diffusion nonsense that apparently makes models “learn more efficiently.” Sure, and my grandmother’s toaster learns faster too, right after I throw it in the bathtub.

Anyway, they’ll use the money to hire more overcaffeinated PhDs, build more GPU bonfires in the cloud, and release beta models that “aren’t quite ready but revolutionary.” Meanwhile, the rest of us will keep patching the mess their demo code leaves behind.

Reminds me of the time a junior dev told me their “AI assistant” wrote half their script. It did—right up until it decided to wipe out the database and send an apology email to the CEO written entirely in Lorem Ipsum. Bloody brilliant.
