My week starts with a request: "I need a server to deploy to production, but the devs have no idea how to do it. They don't know how to use the terminal, they donāt know how to handle certificates, nothing. They need to be able to click a few buttons and deploy directly to production. They're Vibe Coding experts."
Welcome to 2026.
ā ā:fluffytail:āI donāt know if this account is actually monitored, or just a publishing place, but you may have noticed that this post has received almost overwhelmingly negative responses.
You could disregard this as Mastodon bias, but keep in mind that the biggest bias on Mastodon is that people who understand and built core parts of the information technology that you use every day are massively over represented. This is probably the only place you will get a lot of replies from people who both understand technology and do not have a financial incentive to hype things to get large amounts of government funding.
EDIT: I should add, I used machine learning during my PhD and there are a lot of problems for which it is a really good fit. But, in the current climate, itās generally safe to interpret āAIā as meaning āmachine learning applied to a problem where machine learning is the wrong solutionā. It isnāt a technology, itās a branding term, and itās a branding term used almost exclusively for things that have no social benefit.
After nearly 3 month in the making, my current project is "finished" (there is still a lot to improve), so here is another #notQuiteWeekly projects update.
I build a lamp, inspired by a flower blossom, made from plywood with 3D printed parts. I designed the project in #OpenSCAD and printed out templates to use with a router to cut out the parts. š§µ
A researcher invented a fake eye condition called bixonimania, uploaded two obviously fraudulent papers about it to an academic server, and watched major AI systems present it as real medicine within weeks.
The fake papers thanked Starfleet Academy, cited funding from the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation and the University of Fellowship of the Ring, and stated mid-paper that the entire thing was made up. Google's Gemini told users it was caused by blue light. Perplexity cited its prevalence at one in 90,000 people.
ChatGPT advised users whether their symptoms matched. The fake research was then cited in a peer-reviewed journal that only retracted it after Nature contacted the publisher.
