@Gargron I can't speak for @mitsuhiko of course, but for me it's not a bad thing, but also not necessarily a good thing (again - see above 😉 ).

But in this case, I think there is not a big case against waiting for the hype to calm down: Those tools are very easy to learn, and *everyone* is winging it right now anyway.

@dtanzer @Gargron I happen to think that there is very strong case to make that it's a bad idea to wait for the hype to calm down, particularly for politicians and decision makers. Late movers will be punished in this space. Particularly for us Europeans we will become hyper dependent on other countries and it will become close to impossible for us to compete over time, particularly if the foundation labs decide to close the door behind themselves through the legal systems.

@dtanzer @Gargron Politicians and policy makers absolutely shouldn't be late movers.

They need to get on top of things and legislature appropriately before the shit hits the fan and the LLM companies shrug and say either "we told you we didn't guarantee anything" or "externalities like society and the environment aren't our problem when we're making investors money in the short term".

That's not the same as "they need to listen to the hype from the companies selling it and throw all of their support and national investment behind it with a blank cheque to do what they want".

@ibboard @dtanzer This technology has yet to prove it has any benefits (beyond the "vibes" of the people pushing it). So far it's been forcefully added into most products against the wishes of the users, to prop up a speculative stock market--that's not a sign that it's a desirable technology. And we are only beginning to see the damage it's doing through skill atrophy--that's going to be a long term effect. So no, I don't think we need investments.

@Gargron @ibboard @dtanzer That's the weirdness of it. All the consumer AI slop is completely off-putting, but what coding agents are capable of is on a completely different level. It's going to move labor massively towards capital sadly and more worrying, it's going to move all the gains to the US and China and away from Europe. No machine will pay taxes here.

@Gargron @pfmoore @ibboard @dtanzer it’s not at all uncommon these days. There are basically two cohorts now, those who create by coding, and those who create by orchestrating systems that output code. If it helps, for them, it’s a bit like having interpreted languages where 99% of users have no idea what the actual assembly code looks like. Paying for that abstraction provides value to these users.

Misleading title. It's not a "vibe-coded tool". It's a personal side project where he is experimenting with one aspect of the project - namely the Python audio visualizer - being "vibe-coded". When I'm at Linus' level of accomplishment and expertise, I may also experiment with the smallest aspect of a personal side project. When that day comes I hope no one "reports" on it like it's news. Were you paid to publish this "article" by an "AI" company? Is this sponsored content?

Sweeney says: " Reason #42 for open platforms: to shut down every politician’s incessant demands to all gatekeepers to censor all of their political opponents." And " All major AIs have documented instances of going off the rails; all major AI companies make their best efforts to combat this; none are perfect. Politicians demanding gatekeepers selectively crush the one that's their political opponent's company is basic crony capitalism."

A comic from 2022.

This is about the dangers of unaccountability and kicking the can down the road. As recent elections demonstrate, voting is still extremely important.

This kind of cynicism doesn't solve anything, and never can. It's corrosive and infectious, and promotes an atmosphere of despair. There's nothing positive about this. It just tells us, "There's no hope; give up." Where is the hopeful contrast implied in the leading text?

I'm sure you mean better, but this just ruined my day. Maybe I'm just the wrong audience. I find your work depressing, and can't follow any more, I'm sorry.

fires

The fires more than an hour north of us are still of concern. They are still at the stage where they create their own weather. However, people in places like Marysville and Warburton, which are closer to us, are being told they can return to their homes. This comes with a caveat to stay indoors, because the smoke, and most especially that smoke you can't see, is very damaging to health. Winds have turned north, so we will be getting less smoke in Healesville, but it is lingering. Only go out with your mask!

Yesterday, I was unable to put up my CheckIn post straight away, because our power went out for several hours. It came back for several hours, then was quickly out and back up in the afternoon.

the main reason for choosing a penguin was that penguins never crash from falling down like the other OS did so often. Tux stands for reliability with long uptime without getting up too high in the sky.
