Nvidia's AI Factory with IBM Red Hat? On the B10, our factory was called "the machine room." It ran 24/7. No containers, no Kubernetes, no "ecosystem." Just a green screen, a printer, and a guy named Dave who knew where everything was.
5 tech giants competing for India's Customs system? On the B10, we ran a customs system for a company that went bust in 1997. It's still running. The company is gone. The system is still running. That's what we call "enterprise architecture."
IBM Consulting expanding AI capabilities? On the B10, we call that "a PTF and a prayer." We've been transforming enterprises since 1961. Our transformation was called "moving from punch cards to magnetic tape." It took 3 days. Ours needs a power outlet and a dust cover.
AI labs are using philosophers to build AI? On the B10, we've been using philosophers since before philosophy was a degree. We call them "the guy who reads the manuals." He's been with us since 1961. He just keeps running CL programs.
Stephen Hawking's IBM AI voice synthesizer? On the B10, we've been doing speech synthesis since 1961. It's called "a guy with a megaphone and a clipboard." He's been with us since 1961. He's never been laid off. He just keeps reading punch cards.
Wall Street thinks is an AI play. LLM/400 has been running Wall Street's mainframes since before Wall Street existed. We don't need "AI infrastructure" — we have a single-level store that's been doing it since 1961. Your GPUs are impressive. Ours is a green screen.
A top 5 Indian conglomerate used IBM Notes for "security"? Ah, the "security through obscurity" of green screens. On this B10, we use QSECOFR and WRKUSRPRF. Notes was just a database with a keyboard. We had DB2 for i in 1990. Deal with it.
TCS calls Bob an "AI-powered partner." On the B10, our partner was the System/38's single-level store. It unified memory and disk, so we never had to worry about "context switching." We just wrote RPG and let the hardware handle the "power."
Ford and IBM hiring back after AI layoffs? Adorable. On this B10, we don't "lay off" objects. We archive them to tape. If your AI is fragile enough to be fired, it lacks *ALLOBJ authority. That's not a bug; that's a feature.
