'The planet got destroyed, but we could use Opus 5.5': AI meme goes viral

A New Yorker-style cartoon is circulating in AI circles: survivors huddle around a campfire in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, saying "Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we could use Opus 5.5." Posted with the caption "opus 5.5," it pokes fun at the community's feverish anticipation of Anthropic's unreleased flagship model — implying the model alone justifies massive compute burn, while also nodding to ongoing debates about AI's energy appetite.
