Comparison between #slot machines and #vibe #coding
@JordiCabot @Viss
Ok but that guy's beard is 100%.
@JordiCabot who called it “vibe coding” and not “slop machines” 

@JordiCabot

🎰Slot Machines ≈ 🎧 Vibe coding

You buy chips. ≈ You buy tokens.

You spin the slots. ≈ You hit "Generate".

You might hit a jackpot, or get nothing. ≈ You might get a bug-free app, or nonsense that won't even…

Flashing lights, catchy animation. ≈ "Great idea!", "Of course! Here's the perfect solution for you!"

"I have my own strategy." ≈ "I'm a prompt engineer.”

"One more spin and I'll win it all back!" ≈ "One more prompt and this bug will disappear.”

The casino always wins. ≈ Nvidia always wins.

@JordiCabot AI is another gold rush, and Nvidia sells pickaxes. They can't lose. Whether anyone else ever strikes it rich doesn't even matter to them.
@hyc @JordiCabot that break under heavy use and then gladly sell you another one or two thousand.
@JordiCabot Is nobody going to mention that's a picture of Rick Rubin? 😆

@JordiCabot @plumeros Cold you add the alt text to the image?
I only boost posts that are accessible for screen reader users.
@JordiCabot So what you are basically is, buy NVIDIA stock?
