“But if you just vibe code up your entire special snowflake engine your product will be a buggy mess you’ll have to spend forever patching” so like every game that’s been released for the past 15 years but at 1/100th the price?

One reason games are so expensive is that you need to hire a lot of very expensive programmers rather than much cheaper creatives like writers and VAs, so it’s especially odd given the recently created Automated Programming Machine to go “let’s fire our creatives”. That’s the comparative advantage!

being anti AI is a luxury belief only available to first world people, especially Americans imagine how important machine translation is for people whose first languages aren't that common

it is a really bad sign that people are using a concept from a book about how opposition to machine slavery produced an ironic world of brutal feudalism, human cattle breeding, and mass human misery as a metonym for their sociological aspirations.

I'm sorry but banning non-English speakers because machine translation is unclean is more fascist than anything in the AI space except maybe Palantir's XAI enterprise account

The amount of Hitler particles involved here are off the charts

they're just being angry to be angry because they get to peacock on social media

it’s funny to make fun of people who vibecode too close to the sun and have products that burn customers’ money or have deleted databases or whatever, but i just find it sad to look at the opposite of people who don’t make anything ever and yet use their free time to just whine about slopcode

People are really out here posting unhinged Zitronslop under their real names

Its basically woke boomerism with a side of ableism

I don't believe Kimi K3.1 Pro is near to Opus 5.5. It uses nearly 2x the time, tokens, and cost to get the same perf as Opus 5.5 High when on Max, and ends up in the Pareto gutter at anything lower than Max. Its AA-Omniscience score (my benchmaxxing canary) is abysmal. But yes, it's good enough.

it’s like cheap/fast/good. you can only pick two

where is the idea that AI is like Uber (where they are heavily subsidising the consumer-end product in order to Disrupt Markets and Get Everyone Hooked, only to plan to raise prices later) coming from? is this an Ed Zitron article of faith? it SOUNDS like an Ed Zitron article of faith

BIOLOGICALLY CODED lord. this is just an inherently reactionary position.

New rule: if you wanna whine about free software being built with the help of Claude, you have to submit at least one (1) useful PR to their project on Git Otherwise, you're literally just demanding people work way harder for free — you're an entitled asshole

It’s the anti-AI people who want information paywalled, who clutch pearls constantly over copyright law not being sufficiently Draconian

"piracy is good, but AI is bad"

It has been a very long time since I've felt this excited for something in the tech space. The flickering lamp of tech utopianism I kept burning in my heart is roaring up into a white-hot blaze and I am so fucking excited for everything the future of the Atmosphere will bring.

Amazing how quickly we went from "oh no LLMs are going to flood the Internet with insecure code" to "oh no LLMs have discovered the internet was already flooded with insecure code"

this convo is hilarious on so many levels, but the biggest thing is put a poll in front of anti-AI people saying the Global South and Asia are actually pretty supportive of AI, and then watch the slurs absolutely fly

people don't realize that we're like, two orders of magnitude of token efficiency from SAO-level living MMOs (without the full dive which is basically unsolved)

you should sell the "techbros replace hobby artists" stock and buy the "hobby artists replace Electronic Arts" stock

You an idiot: I can't wait for the AI bubble because I hate AI and I want it to go away Me, a genius: I can't wait for the AI bubble because I love AI and I want it freed from the freaks in the US.

alright well conscious or not and happy or not, the fact remains that using it consumes horrific amounts of water, destroys vast quantities of land, and floods the atmosphere with greenhouse gases; plus, the handful of rich people who own these things are demons destroying our political order

i can’t wait for qwen 4 and gemma 5 i have so much hopium for local inference now
