'South Park' takes aim at Bay Area tech companies Apple and OpenAI
Briefly

Randy's Tegridy cannabis farm loses its entire workforce after an ICE raid, creating a severe labor crisis. Randy consults ChatGPT, which urges him to transform the business into an AI-powered marijuana platform called Techridy. Techridy's operations become fueled by heavy ketamine use as Randy and his assistant Towelie grow dependent on the drug. Techridy faces regulatory barriers because cannabis remains illegal in much of the country, prompting Towelie to travel to Washington, D.C., and seek favor with President Trump. Tim Cook appears gifting Trump a golden-based Apple plaque while a surreal subplot involves Satan, ChatGPT and sexualized mockery of Trump.
Stan's father Randy's cannabis farm Tegridy has fallen on hard times after an ICE raid abducts the entirety of his workforce. He then turns to ChatGPT for a solution to his labor problem, and the sycophant chatbot encourages him to pivot to become an "AI-powered marijuana platform for global solutions." The new company, named Techridy, is also powered by an unhealthy amount of ketamine, as Randy and his assistant Towelie become dependent on one of Silicon Valley's microdosing drugs of choice.
As Techridy strives to scale nationally, Randy runs into the thorny issue that cannabis is still illegal in much of the country, so Towelie heads to Washington, D.C., to pay tribute to President Trump. Before his arrival, Tim Cook is shown gifting Trump an Apple plaque with a golden base, which matched Cook's recent real-life gift to Trump. "Mr. President, your ideas for the tech industry are so innovative, and you definitely don't have a small penis," the Cook character says.
