Is there a real source to this or is there a joke that flew over my head?

It's a parody of the hype around AI, particularly the "AI discovers faster sorting algorithm" news from last week. Full (satirical) source.

The "tongues" sounds like Rick and Morty aliens talking. Lol

the last paragraph makes incredibly hard to take it seriously, tbh.

So doesn't O(nlog(n)) = O(nlog(n)/10)? I guess you'd want the faster one all things being equal, but is that part of the joke?
