> Doesn't matter. He has no vision. The point, and there IS a point buried in here somewhere under the Wild Turkey and the gunpowder residue and the faint smell of burning silicon, is that the entire vibe coding movement was a confidence trick played on people who didn't know enough about software to understand they were being conned, by people who ALSO didn't know enough about software to understand they were conning anyone. It was a consensual mutual hallucination. A folie à deux at scale. A collective agreement to pretend that typing English sentences into a chat window was the same thing as engineering, the same way a child pretends that a cardboard box is a spaceship, except the child doesn't charge $20 a month for the cardboard box and the child's cardboard box didn't leak 1.5 million API keys into the open internet.

this is what actual nuance about AI looks like - Dorian Taylor @doriantaylor@mastodon.social on how LLM coding is vaguely possible, but of limited usefulness for real work

> The leak, which Meta confirmed, happened when an employee asked for guidance on an engineering problem on an internal forum. An AI agent responded with a solution, which the employee implemented – causing a large amount of sensitive user and company data to be exposed to its engineers for two hours.

lol and - furthermore - lmao

oh this is interesting. layoffs are *not* boosting the share price recently, leading to an average 2% drop

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/wall-street-is-no-longer-rewarding-job-cut-announcements-goldman-analysis-finds-a60c87a4

but if they say it's "restructuring" and don't make a technological excuse, it's an average 7% drop

i suspect everyone's running out of money cos the economy's already in effective recession
