What is the point of this site?
"Hammer horrors - the price of using hammers"
"Smashed fingers, bent nails, shattered lives."
Come on. AI is a tool, it doesn't do anything by itself. A showcase of people using tools poorly - who is interested?
- wat10000 1y agoThe point is that these tools CAN do things by themselves if you set them up to do it, and things can go badly wrong if you do.
- multjoy 1y agoSchadenfreude, obviously. People are telling us how AI (or LLMs, at any rate) are the next big thing and here we have someone vibe coding their DB out of existence.
- vanschelven 1y agoPointing out the dangers of various tools is something that's is consider "a point" to the degree that there is a special government agency for it in every modern state in the world. This is that, but applied to a specific tool and as a meme-site.
- TheEnder8 1y agoIt shows that some measure of supervision is needed. That firing all of the coders, and unleashing bots is probably a bad idea (at least for the near future)
- happytoexplain 1y agoI have never seen as many different metaphors deployed in the defense of something as with AI. And as with AI, metaphor is over-relied upon for its ease of use.
- corndoge 1y agoThe hammer thing is an analogy, and calling it a tool is an opinion, neither are metaphors.
- brookst 1y agoMostly people whose livelihood is threatened. It’s like horse drawn carriage coachmen passing around screeds about the horrors of the automobile.
- benterix 1y agoA light counterweight to mass marketing of vibe coding tools.
- dontmindmehere 1y agothere isn't an emerging industry of grifters pitching hammer agents that will build you the next ikea, no woodworking knowledge required
