I’d go one step further: vibecoding is shitting on people’s labour.

All of the training material ingested and garbled by those models? Other people’s labour.

Every vibed and slop project? Sucking out the oxygen from actual people’s work.

I completely agree with your last paragraph. While I’m no developer, I’ve followed FLOSS development for decades, and I’m exhausted by the tsunami of crap put out by suckers with the coding version of a sausage machine.

I mean, the threat was, but the fediverse reacted and most instances (that I know of) just defederated preemptively.

This blog post seems to point and laugh that “see, we hadn’t needed to put out that fire, it’s fully extinguished now”. Well, yes. Because we put it out.

But there is also the point that Meta users and Fedizens didn’t really have any interest in federating with each other. In that respect, the outcome was fully foreseeable, and Meta’s attempt pure signal value for the corporation.

Claude ranks second under “contributors”.

At least they’re consistent in their exploitation.

LOL, startrek.website? IIRC the whole hubbub about them was that they defederated from dbzer0 in the first place.

The psychological drive behind the urge to call something with a derogatory term is the same in both cases.

Meh. I find that the rhetorical urge to reduce a dichotomy to absurdly general commonalities is the pseudointellectual’s version of a slur.

Except here you’re not dehumanizing as much as working against anthropomorphization.

I’m pretty sure Fedora the Pokémon wears a Pikachu in the movie adaptation, so close enough 🤣

“But accessibility!” is the only humane face “AI” boosters can come up with to defend the clankers. Except they don’t realise it’s more like the scene in Silence of the lambs where Hannibal is wearing a guard’s face like a mask.

Yeah, sorry to be the bringer of terrible news. If these people aren’t actual accelerationists, they put on one hell of a convincing cosplay.

Did you know about Yudkowski’s Harry Potter fanfic that apparently doubles as the sex cult “rationalist” movement’s onboarding material?

Yeah yeah, let’s skip to the part where Yudkowsky (the “AI guru who Sam Altman thinks deserves a Nobel prize”) dropped out of eighth grade and is now running a sex cult 🙄

All of those TESCREAL loonies need a hard wedgie before they are permanently cut off from our attention.

Or, get this, neither accept big or indie tech using it.

Did you do it with “AI”? Because that’s another business model you might want to not support.

No, I’m not watching your Youtube video because business models.

It was a weird flex from the beginning, and the bigger the companies that follow suit, the weirder it gets 🤷
