There’s always the printing press…
To be honest, aside from medicine and whatnot, what real benefit is AI bringing?
I use it to accelerate my development and it’s great, but as far as this is concerned, how many vibe coded apps do we need as a society? And for the quality of information it’s a junkyard overflowing.
I built a strategy agent and ran through a bunch of ideas, positioning them etc. even though the AI has a good sense of that, and for a moment I believed it to have good direction, man I was mislead. I took a step back and realized this thing has NO FKING IDEA. It almost derailed me and what I need to be doing. It was very convincing and took introspection to get back on track.
Its creative writing skills are idiotic and it’s emotional intelligence garbage.
It’s a bubble everyone and save for medical advancements, the rest is a mirage. Even if companies accelerate some temporary economic advantage, the real tangible value to humanity seems to be few and far between.
But it’s cool and everyone is masterfully debating the next big model advancement.

- drbrugen 15d agoThey invented self-healing concrete far superior to anything we use today and it took us 2000 years to realize we’re really smart morons. Romans built things to last, we build it to crumble. https://news.mit.edu/2023/roman-concrete-durability-lime-casts-0106 https://news.mit.edu/2023/roman-concrete-durability-lime-cas...

- KPGv2 15d ago> how many vibe coded apps do we need as a society well I had AI program three things for me yesterday: 1. custom CSS for a website I read a lot so it conforms with readability research 2. crawl a Tumblr account of a comic book artist, download their comics, and assemble them into a PDF I can print and bind into a book myself 3. pull the code of a charity fundraiser website that is terribly written, refactor it, centralize the theme, and update it for the next fundraising campaign, and deploy it About an hour of my weekend to do this. Each of these projects was a weekend before that.
