Cory Doctorow kämpft seit Jahrzehnten gegen die Macht der Techkonzerne. Hier warnt er, dass die Produkte aus dem Silicon Valley durch künstliche Intelligenz nicht besser, sondern schlechter werden.
„Some people are still complaining about the quality of the code generated by LLM’s and I strongly disagree with this take. In my experience, the code generated is actually pretty good. What bothers me is the code quantity. Specially because I don’t believe in “vibe coding” (that is: trusting the generated code and not even taking a look at it). I need to review the code and make sure it’s doing what it’s supposed…“ 1/

DISCLAIMER : This is the second post I wrote about the my talk on the Global Scrum Gathering Munich, and even though I don’t think you need to read both posts in order I strongly suggest you to read both of them to get the entirety of the ideas I’m sharing.
„The term Vibe Coding was coined by Andrej Karpathy, and he said that the technique is “not too bad for throwaway weekend projects”. A key part of the definition of vibe coding is that the user accepts code without full understanding, and the AI researcher Simon Willison even said that “If an LLM wrote every line of your code, but you’ve reviewed, tested, and understood it all, that’s not vibe coding in…“ 1/

It’s the moment where the work stops being work, and becomes interruption management.“

„Mara blinked. She wondered briefly whether burnout now came with hallucinations. The voice continued, “You humans are remarkable. You can split your minds into eight flapping pieces and then act surprised when they complain. But here’s the trick: systems have limits. Minds do too.

„[…] the mind is not the reliable, neutral instrument we tend to assume. Memory reconstructs rather than records. Bias edits what we remember in self-serving directions. Emotion shapes which memories surface and how we weigh what we find. And the modern habit of constant switching quietly erodes our capacity to think carefully at all. Together, these four themes point to the same practical conclusion – a…“ 1/
