Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Is that Pat Rothfuss in the picture?
A prediction engine struggles at coming up with novel ideas? Astounding!
If you are of the opinion "coding is easy with AI", it's because you haven't tried to do something novel with it.
It's been solved, the AI has been trained on it, and the next most likely word based on prompt & context is correct because someone else has already figured it out. Repeat until the AI has generated a function that works
Wanted to use code that already have been written for shits and giggles? We already have a tool for that, it's called import or #include, depending on your programming language.
Truth.
Autocomplete on a phone can't write a story, it could make something extremely similar to one I wrote before.
So I can do it now and I can do it now if you want to do it now and I can do it now and I can do it for you and you can get it on the way home now x x x x x x x hope you had a good day and you can get it on the way home now and I can do it now and I can do it now and I can do it now and I can do it now and I can do it now
I just tapped the middle suggested word a lot. I must admit it's the most beautiful sentence I've ever laid eyes upon 🥲
I CAN do it now 🤜🤛
It was a beautiful sentence though.
I think we are going to the park if you want to come over and meet with me at the airport for a bit and see if you can get it in the morning and take it off for me to come listen to it again and actually go to the lodge for rentals starting in the morning and take a look at the range of the week of July 7th work for the second time in the year and I are going to the next few weeks to get the key again and get back to you.
Is that Rick Ruben?
I think so, in a way "vibe" fits for him bc of his non technical music background but still it's somewhat sacreligious to put him in the same category with vibe coders.
Rick Rubin hasn't literally been caught with a dead woman like Phil Spector, but he's well-understood to be a talentless creep who radicalizes men with right-wing beliefs and harasses women. Nobody should be surprised that he's thrown in with grifters yet again, given his career.
it should be, but he's been actively promoting the stuff
Ohh
that's sad.
