Snapdragon’s “Faster Than Human Thought” Laptop: My Brain’s Already on Fire

Okay, so Humain (lol, Humain – already a red flag, but I digress) and Qualcomm have birthed this new beast, the Horizon Pro PC. And guess what? It’s packing agentic AI and a Snapdragon X Elite chip, supposedly operating “100 times faster than human thought.” My initial thought? What in the actual fuck?

Because My Slack Notifications Aren’t Enough

As if my brain isn’t already 24/7 trying to process the existential dread of another Monday stand-up where we talk about synergy and bandwidth, now there’s a laptop that’s going to out-think me by a factor of 100. Honestly, what’s even the point anymore? Am I supposed to feel inspired? Or just utterly, thoroughly, pathetically obsolete before my 30s?

I’m already drowning in a sea of JIRA tickets, Slack pings, and the constant, nagging feeling that I’m not innovating enough because I dared to take a bathroom break. Now, this laptop is apparently going to write code, compose symphonies, and probably solve world hunger before I can even decide if I want oat milk or almond milk in my overpriced latte. Thanks, capitalism, for constantly reminding me of my biological limitations.

The Age of the Hyper-Efficient Digital Overlord

Let’s be real, “agentic AI” sounds less like a helpful assistant and more like the first step to Skynet. Remember when we were promised AI would free us from mundane tasks? Now it’s just making those tasks 100 times faster and therefore expecting us to churn out 100 times more output. My boss is already asking for a Q4 roadmap in Q2. Imagine when this laptop gets its digital claws into our performance reviews. “Your human thought processes are measurably 99.8% slower than the Horizon Pro, Jessica. We’re going to have to let you go.”

I can just picture the marketing meeting now. Some dude in a Patagonia vest, probably named Chad, is hyping up how this will “revolutionize productivity” and “empower the modern worker.” Meanwhile, all I hear is, “We’re going to make you feel even more inadequate, even faster, so you can burn out before you even get a chance to save for that down payment on a shoebox apartment in the Outer Richmond.”

My Brain: A Relic of the Past

Honestly, I’m already mentally preparing my eulogy for human cognition. What’s left for us when a silicon slab can process data at speeds that make our neurons look like dial-up internet? Maybe we’ll all just become professional meme generators, the last bastion of true human creativity. Or, more likely, we’ll be tasked with feeding the agentic AI its daily dose of perfectly structured data, becoming glorified data janitors for our overlords.

So, yeah, congratulations, Humain and Qualcomm. You’ve created a laptop that’s apparently a hundred times smarter than me. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go ponder my rapidly approaching irrelevance while trying to find a decent kombucha that isn’t sponsored by a venture capital firm. The future is here, and it’s making my brain hurt just thinking about it. And not in a good, challenging way, but in a “I need to lie down in a dark room and question all my life choices” kind of way.

At least I can still make fun of it. For now.
