Meme on AI Disruption: Coders and Mathematicians Fall, Entrepreneurs Rejoice

The author parodies the famous "First they came..." poem to joke about the impact of AI on various professions.
The first half follows the original narrative: when AI came for coders and mathematicians, the author did not speak out because they were not one of them. However, the punchline flips the script—when AI finally comes for the entrepreneurs, the author, being an entrepreneur, is actually thrilled (as AI serves as a powerful tool for their work).
