  • Personally I think that claim is a decent one: user-initiated request should not be subject to robot limitations, and are not the source of DDOS attack to web sites.

    They are one of the sources!

    The AI scraping when a user enters a prompt is DDOSing sites in addition to the scraping for training data that is DDOSing sites. These shitty companies are repeatedly slamming the same sites over and over again in the least efficient way because they are not using the scraped data from training when they process a user prompt that does a web search.

    Scraping once extensively and scraping a bit less but far more frequently have similar impacts.

  • It’s a bad practice that should be banned for everything except medical issues such as phimosis.

    That's what I said, but apparently not in enough words.

  • I thought the whole "clippy just wanted to help" meme was sarcastic since clippy's nagging was just as intrusive as the current AI being forced into everything, but it seems it is not.

  • Wouldn't be allowed if it was illegal...

  • Let's jam a thing that is frequently wrong into absolutely everything!

  • 🏛️

  • It should be limited to medical professionals who do it for medical reasons, not for religious reasons.

    Also I'm circumcised and it happened to work out well so I have no regrets, but it was done by a doctor and not as some backwards religious ceremony.

  • IT'S LOUD IN DA CLUB

  • Letting Clippy Jr write your code.

  • Johnny 5 is alive!

  • Chug that prune juice!

  • S P A C E B A L L S

  • They knew the two lines that I quoted would clue in most people who dislike vibe coding that it was a joke.

  • I'm not sure of the numbers, but it was a net positive for the public's health even if the difference is fairly small.

  • I know!

    I love Fleetwood Mac but this line always grinds my gears.

    Oh, thunder only happens when it's raining

    No, it thunders without raining fairly frequently! It usually goes together, but not always.

  • AmidFuror's description is on point and I see it as a variant of Poe's Law. Instead of sarcasm being mistaken for a real belief, it is presenting a fictional account of someone being self aware that is mistaken for someone actually becoming self aware.

    There are two lines that make me absolutely certain it is written by someone who it not a vibe coder and is leaning into the sarcasm.

    • 'pulling out my wallet for someone that knows what they are doing' implies the poster knows they don't know what they are doing
    • 'vibe coding is just roleplaying for guys who want to feel like hackers' is a joke I've seen directed at vibe coders more than once

    Keep in mind that not all deception is malicious, but most people see the word deception as having a negative implication. An actor/actress pretending to be someone else is technically deceptive the same way as whoever wrote this hilarious post. They are presenting a fictional account for an audience.

  • That is more of an action vibe than a horror vibe though.

  • No, the phrasing makes it clear someone wrote a fictional account of becoming self aware that the output of vibe coding isn't maintainable as it scales.

  • This is a structure even more common than just one author. It needs a name like the hero's journey has. Heck, your summary works for Alien Ressurection!

    I nominate "Science goes wrong"
