where incubator resident Jian Yang wants to create a web site for his grandmother's seafood recipes... but incubator owner Erlich Bachman accidentally sells the idea as "see food"... a phone app that is AI driven to detect what food you are about to eat (calories, nutrition information, etc). Erlich gets some seed funding and Jian goes off to create the AI... but at the due date for the VCs, the AI can only recognize hot dogs ("hot dog" v. "not hot dog&quot . Erlich is so pissed that he sticks his phone into his pants and snaps a dick pick ("Hot dog!!!&quot amd gives up his share of Yang's company.

Jian Yang gets the last laugh when he sells his "dick pic" recognition AI to some web company for millions of dollars!

I literally laughed my ass off.
