I am loving watching the vibecoding bubble bursting and reforming in real time. It turns out it is ludicrously expensive to have humongous billion parameter models generate a whole library of code in a loop hundreds of times per hour rather than, you know, "writing code." Cursor's pricing model finally started to try and operate at less of a loss and people revolted since they could no longer autogenerate code for 8 hours solid, and now Amazon is trying to capture the runoff with a first-hit-free cursor replacement.

Very funny how, to me, FOSS is about creating a credible bulwark of power so that we aren't at the mercy of information giants, but for vibe coders it's like a "how can I get locked in and get got as deeply as possible" speedrun.

"While these agents promise to make life easier by allowing users to “put your brain in a jar,” they can also gather valuable—and often sensitive—data. This is a core concern for #Signal, which is trusted by tens of millions of users, including those in government, military, human rights and journalism, for confidential communication and guaranteed #privacy."

'AI is the future, get used to it.'

'AI isn't going anywhere.'

'AI is here to stay, you better learn how to use it to your advantage or you'll be left behind.'

Without arguing the relevance of AI itself, this language is self-defeating and assumes all people will believe they're not in control of the very tools they create and use.

On a psychological level, I believe this type of language is incredibly dangerous - regardless of the topic at hand.
