yes, i can quickly sort these people into the loony bin and move on with my day without wasting a single moment listening to what they have to say. Such a time-saver!

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?

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
