The image depicts a scene from the Harry Potter film turned into a meme, where Professor McGonagall asks Hermione, Ron, and Harry: "Why is it, when something happens, it is always you three?".

Screenshot of Mark Zuckerberg's answer to a question in Meta's Q2 2025 earnings call that says: "I mean I personally think that -- I wear contact lenses, I feel like if I didn’t have my vision corrected, I’d be sort of at a cognitive disadvantage going through the world. And I think in the future, if you don’t have glasses that have AI or some way to interact with AI, I think you’re kind of similarly probably be at a pretty significant cognitive disadvantage compared to other people who you’re working with, or competing against"

Quote from Samantha Ndiwalana, Ranking Digital Rights Research Lead, World Benchmarking Alliance, stating: "Companies like to say that AI is going to change the world. They say creating AI might do a bit of environmental damage now, but AI is also going to come up with the tools to solve that environmental damage, and it will all be worth it in the end. This is a moment for us to push back on that and question whether AI is ever going to have the capabilities in any form to be able to create this utopia. Whether we're willing to take that environmental risk, the damage that it's doing now in exchange for a utopia later. I personally don't think that we should."
The image is screenshot of an article written by Ed Zitron, titled Deep Impact. The text shown on the screenshot says: "The entire AI bubble was inflated based on the premise that these models were simply impossible to build without burning massive amounts of cash, straining the power grid, and blowing past emissions goals, and that these were necessary costs to create "powerful AI." Obviously, that wasn’t true. Now the markets are asking a very reasonable question: “did we just waste $200 billion?”"
