Gonna say this here: human beings have produced crap code, to the point where we're writing ten times more tests than code.

True I wouldn't vibe code a car. But I wouldn't trust any of these jackasses running around telling me AI is so awful. The craft of software has never enforced any standards upon itself.

The stupider the humans the more tests they have to write.

@birkenator

You left out the part where people have a tenuous relationship with the truth.

That's why I laugh at all these Thickies squeaking about how I wouldn't vibe a car. Because that's exactly what happened with my whiz-bang shiny Chrysler Pacifica and its audio system.

@tuban_muzuru yeah critical things are definitely getting vibe coded. I have seen it myself…

I wonder if this is how old school programmers think of those of us that started out in the 2010s with our shitty JS dependencies and half baked frameworks.

As a consultant, I've come to realize humans are far more dangerous than machines.

Oh god I just asked myself how much pressure is probably being put on the people who write self-driving software for cars and I kinda never want to be on a road again now.

Elon Musk has been accused of disabling a cybertruck that was given to Chechnya leader Ramzan Kadyrov, who has ruled with an iron fist in the region for the better part of 17 years. In a post from his Telegram account, Kadyrov claimed that the vehicle had been 'remotely disabled'.

@otterlove Actually: Yes. I would rather vibe code a car than building one only based on my limited knowledge. But on the other hand: I would probably not build a car in the first place, with or without help from an AI.
Show threadderptronMar 7

@dummzeuch @otterlove You actually wouldn't want that because when you try to do it on your own you'll fail but if you have an AI do it and it claims to have done so and you don't know how to check that so you assume that it's right...

Well you could get as far as driving down the road before you realize it never added a breaking system.

@otterlove This is the first time that meme ever made any sense at all. I would totally download a car. I still don't know how that was even supposed to be implied to work, but I'd totally do it. But I sure as heck would not want a "vibe coded" car.
