over the past few weeks several AI evaluation/cybersecurity experts have explained how what's happening is a result of human incompetence rather than "AI going rogue". I'm begging the media to show a shred of journalistic integrity and stop parroting what altman or amodei say

the big AI danger is not companies suddenly inventing skynet - that's marketing rubbish, musk promising mars colonies by 2030 type stuff. the danger is companies claiming to have invented skynet and then putting what they actually have, a chatbot, in charge of stuff that's important

This statement from Codeberg maintainers, after their community voted to not use any code for LLM training and banned vibe-coded projects, is really good. blog.codeberg.org/protecting-o...

The development team of none

Using LLMs to work with your code gives you a kick of adrenaline. You can develop at a rapid pace, build things as if you had a large team. Only that you have none. In fact, you are (often) alone, working with a statistical machine that turns energy into code.

It seems like many ‘vibe coders’ don't realize that they don't actually have a community around them. They build projects as if they had, and spend resources accordingly. We see projects having a lot of code activity, heavy CI/CD testing, frequent and large release binaries. Sometimes, it feels like the amount of supported platforms exceeds the amount of actual users.

To us, it seems ridiculous to see projects with a single developer and virtually no users consuming as much or even more resources than some of the largest community projects on Codeberg, which operate frugal with CI/CD and storage resources. We do not believe it is reasonable for Codeberg to invest our precious donation money into hosting of large ghost projects.

This frames objections to Platner as savvy or unusual. He had a Nazi tattoo. It's actually not difficult or unusual to reject people with Nazi tattoos, and pretending it's hard is distorting our culture.

this is exactly what two years of my life at disney were like. bob iger returning as ceo and announcing 7000 layoffs led to a protracted process of multiple rounds for years as morale plummeted, work suffered, and everyone was left wondering how their jobs would even be possible going forward.
