I wonder if this is how scholars reacted to the printing press

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Independently of what your position to vibe-coding or LLMs are: Vibe coding just isn't any programming paradigm. A programming paradigm describes the structure of the program, often on a grammatical (programming language) level (e.g. declarative vs imperative). While "Vibe Coding" can lead to using one or the other paradigm, but is not a paradigm itself, it's a tool to achieve that, similar as using an IDE with code-completion to generate code.

the printing press didn't unlawfully steal content and print exabytes of shit-streaked garbage.

the printing press expanded the potential for knowledge to be shared at a higher volume and speed due to the nature of mass printing.

it was more akin to multi-core hyperthreading than AI.

I think what you mean is that AI is like the discovery of distribution of electricity. the story of where a self-educated immigrant attempted to sell his method of distribution that was safer and more pragmatic, was slandered and tormented by a tech oligarch that had no qualms with electrocuting elephants in public. oh and not to mention Thomas Edison didn't even "invent" AC power, he stamped his name on it and falsely claimed he did. sounds like some other tech bro we know today...

this is the problem with you "AI bros", you can't even provide a valid argument because your brain has turned to dog shit from using AI 100% of the time.

You'd have a point if this was an artist community, but coding AI as it exists does not work that well.

I'd give a better example, but most of the technologies that didn't actually work are lost to history. Hmm, maybe reapeating crossbows and that giant 40-reme boat that the one Greek king built?

By allowing the unwashed masses to gain access to what up until that point was essentially sacred text.

ai "code" isn't sacred text, the hell you on about?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Everyone can already access coding.

Ah, so fanfic, not memes. Got it.
