A meme-style post jokes that ethical behavior is NP-hard, turning a serious problem into a computational-complexity punchline.
The point is less about a formal claim and more about the AI-community habit of describing messy human judgment with CS language. It works as a shareable joke because it compresses a real frustration: ethics is hard, and sometimes seems impossible to optimize cleanly.
