Yeah just don’t travel to China. Imagine how awkward it’ll be in the airport when they tell you, “sorry, we have all your porn history and we don’t admit folks with poop fetishes.”

It’s the EU trying to read everyone’s chat messages because .001% of the population might use the technology for sending CSAM.

I know it is a big change and will take some time to come to terms with it. But, it is here. I’m not going to argue anymore. It’s pointless.

More of Sam Altman telling people what he thinks they want to hear so he can get what he wants.

Sometimes I think the US is fucking stupid, but then there is the UK always ten steps ahead 1-uping us left and right.

I haven't drank Koolaid. I'm talking from my experience using it in my professional software engineering job where I lead software projects. I've built things that used to take 20 weeks in 1 week with Claude. My employer does not really care about the cost of the tokens. And, when they can have one engineer do 20 weeks of work in 1 week, that to them is actually a cost savings. I already ask myself the question ... Should I give this task to another engineer or just vibecode it myself?

OpenAI may not survive because they do have financial issues from overspending, but that barely matters. The company with the strongest coding LLM is Anthropic and it doesn't sound like they're having financial difficulty. Either way, now that it is clear what is possible, some company will succeed.They have incentives to do it.

Like I said, it will suck for some people, but its hard to deny the reality at this point.

Sure, but like I said, it will be fewer.

Github is full of open source apps. Some times the maintainer won't add a feature you want. You can just clone the repo and ask Claude to do it and then run your own version of it.

I use it and it works. It doesn't give you the right result in one shot, but neither does manual coding. You iterate and prompt again and again. In the end, it saves a ton of time. Engineers are definitely going to lose their jobs because fewer people are needed. I know its tough to accept this and people will go through denial. Part of that is saying the AI code is junk. But, you'll find it can produce junk and quickly fix it into the right solution faster than an engineer can. It sucks, but this is the new reality. The one thing that is cool once you embrace it is that you realize you can customize your favorite apps or even build anything you want from scratch.

You do try running the app, and then you see what is broken and then you have Claude fix it. The process is still iterative just like regular coding. I haven't met a software engineer that wrote a perfect app the first try, its always broken, even in subtle ways. Why does everyone think vibecoding needs to be perfect on the first shot?

Sounds more like a bug or an oversight
