Cassandra is only carbon nowSaw an article about someone pushing vibe coding on their kids, and I'm incandescently angry now. We know for an actual fact that these things are wildly unethical, and at the same time, we barely understand the impact that they have on our brains. Turning your kid into an uncontrolled science experiment for the benefit of a few clicks is beyond disgusting.
I sincerely believe that to be a form of child abuse. It's fucking disgusting.
I'm not going to keep going, I'm too depressed today to spend even more brain cycles on this soul-juicing thneed factory bullshit.
Instead, I'll just leave it at that anyone who *knowingly* and *purposefully* exposes kids to AI products needs to take a long, hard look in the mirror and see the absolute fucking monster they've become.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go throw up.
tuban_muzuruI am just such a fucking monster.
The AI is just a mirror and the Load it carries is an amazingly accurate simulacrum of what we fed the AI.
So look in the AI mirror. That's humanity looking back.
Pixel@xgranade I worked in childcare in the seattle area for about a year (where there's a huge extracurricular child enrichment culture, basically) and when I was looking for another job, I applied to a local code camp/enrichment center for kids kind of thing. they wanted me to teach vibe coding and also pitch vibecoding lessons to corporate that they'd effectively buy off me per lesson, which felt like the worst combination of part time work with no vertical mobility, gig economy undervalued labor, AND poisoning the minds of children by encouraging them to not think critically about the things i create
I took another job in childcare that treated me like shit and spat me out unfortunately but wow am i glad i wasn't complicit in that particular system. it's so gross
