OpenGL vs Vulkan Experience

[vk] > validation layer (General) (Error): GPU hang detec... this process (VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST) terminate called af... throwing an instance of 'vk::DeviceLostError'

A programmer livestreams himself testing OpenGL/Vulkan graphics code while the render output progresses from simple gradients and shapes to a broken multicolored scene and a distorted anime-style character. He reacts with growing excitement and alarm, then disappears from the webcam as the program crashes with a GPU hang and VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST. The joke is the familiar “OpenGL vs Vulkan experience”: Vulkan appears powerful and impressive until a small graphics error turns into an inscrutable catastrophic failure, amplified by the upbeat, bittersweet pop song “Payphone” by Maroon 5 feat. Wiz Khalifa playing over the escalating chaos.
