"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I cannot stand Python. I don’t like it. I don’t want to learn it. That’s not a fault or a deficiency, it’s a choice.

I'm with you 100%. However, the logical next step is then to code the thing in a language you know and/or like -- I'm sure there are plenty of those. It is NOT to utilize a fucking AI to code it for you in Python just because you can't be arsed to learn Python.

What is a problem is Linus’ decision to go ahead and “code” something on Python even though he had no intention on learning it, then using AI to code something for him that he could not troubleshoot because he doesn’t have the knowledge. That’s reckless.

That is exactly the argument the article is making (albeit rather roundabout and colored with personal opinion, which is....fine, it's his article, he can phrase it however he wants to). Linus would rather vibe-code the thing in Python than just bang out a couple lines of code in a language he's familiar with.

But if I vibe code say a driver for piece of semi-obscure hardware and try to merge it, I'm sure that'll go over well right? I mean I can't be arsed to learn C or Rust, so I'll let Claude or whatever slap something together and submit.
