Think an interior designer having to reengineer the columns and load bearing walls of a masonry construction.

What are the proportions of cement and gravel for the mortar? What type of bricks to use? Do they comply with the PSI requirements? What caliber should the rebars be? What considerations for the pouring of concrete? Where to put the columns? What thickness? Will the building fall?

“I don’t know that shit, I only design the color and texture of the walls!”

And that, my friends, is why vibe coding fails.

And it’s even worse: Because there are things you can more or less guess and research. The really bad part is the things you should know about but don’t even know they are a thing!

Unknown unknowns: Thread synchronization, ACID transactions, resiliency patterns. That’s the REALLY SCARY part. Write code? Okay, sure, let’s give the AI a chance. Write stable, resilient code with fault tolerance, and EASY TO MAINTAIN? Nope. You’re fucked. Now the engineers are gone and the newbies are in charge of fixing bad code built by an alien intelligence that didn’t do its own homework and it’s easier to rewrite everything from scratch.

Ah yes, blaming the victim. How didn’t I think of that! Next up: telling women it’s their fault when they get assaulted because their skirt was one inch too high.

Suddenly, explicit photos and videos of her were being spread and resold like wildfire alongside abusive material: upskirting videos and photos of sleeping, naked women.

I think you deliberately skipped this part of the article.

I keep getting the suspicion that many of these flashy projects are red herrings paid by Musk or Zuckerberg or whoever to stop people from actually developing reasonable alternatives.

Because shit like this keeps happening over and over.

The electric violin scene was cool, tho.

Coming up, in 2030: Anti bot verification by vtuber posting.

Now this will require a vtuber account.

Or how about the new captcha trend: Craft a simple barn in Arbonautica™ (game download available in Steam). You have 5 minutes.

Mastodon. Lemmy is good for discussions, but Mastodon is more Twitter -like so you can follow friends and see what they’re up to.

So basically deny until it’s too late and then do nothing - just like they did with COVID.

Upvoted for cult movie reference. 👍😎

That’s the thing: A good quality sexbot would go to the bathroom and clean itself.

As it should have been.

The scientific community needs to gather and reach a consensus where AI is banned from writing their papers. (Yes, even for translation)

I hope those downvotes were not from here.

In all honesty, if I was told my data would be handled by some guy in the Philippines rather than a black box algorithm, I’d consider that a plus.

“Human-handled” needs to be some a badge of honor.

Translation: You’re not someone we can overwork so easily.

Judging a captive market for not being able to break free from a monopoly is just another form of oppression, buddy.

Plot twist: And they’ll still pack their passengers like sardines.

It’s the old spam problem again. Spammers pass the cost of their customers to their victims, while AI bots pass the cost of their crawling to the sites they crawl (without authorization).

I see no easy solution for this.

I can testify on that.

In the last two years, I’ve discovered VTubers and streamers in general.

I’ve discovered Geega’s tech talks, Deme’s videogame playthroughs, Michi Mochievee’s amazing (and shocking) IRL lore, VShojo group gaming sessions, Dokibird’s third wheel viral video, Ironmouse’s gremlin moments with Connor, Melody getting raided at the most inopportune times, Henya’s Minecraft trolling exploits, Vedal and Camila’s hopecore video, Neuro-sama’s singing and otherwise general roasting comments on human VTubers, and wholesome gaming streamers like Beacon of Nick.

Not to mention a number of woodworking youtubers teaching about, or otherwise making mistakes when building or restoring furniture.

There’s content for everyone, and traditional TV doesn’t even come close.

It’s like stepping out of a boring office into Alice’s Wonderland.

The creativity is out there and it’s a joy to see what can be without corporate meddling.

Why would they even want money from a fixed pool?

Give them percentages of the sales.
