A parody of an AI researcher’s career roadmap shows a progression through Google DeepMind, OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral AI, xAI, and DeepSeek AI, ending with a job as a self-employed goose farmer living off the grid. The joke mocks the rapid movement between major AI companies and imagines abandoning the tech industry for a simple rural life. It is used as a reaction to AI career burnout, industry instability, or the desire to escape the rat race.
