1. The thing about science that these jokers don't understand is that science cannot be vibe-coded. Whatever its flaws, the point with vibe coding is that you're trying to quickly make something that sorta works, where you can immediately sorta see if it sorta works and then sorta use it.

“The idea is to put ChatGPT front and center inside software that scientists use to write up their work in much the same way that chatbots are now embedded into popular programming editors. It’s vibe coding, but for science.”

Yes! Vibe coding and writing/scientific idea generation are VERY DIFFERENT. Vibe coding is like building a faster!car. We know how to put one together and we can test it. LLMs can do this. Doing science is like art. It’s new thinking. There are often no existing tests. LLMs are terrible at art.
