"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 worked with a guy in the '90s who swore he did some of his best coding after our usual Friday after-work beers (the bar was next door).
I hear this a lot from unmedicated high functioning ADHD types. The alcohol quiets the noise.
Sure does!
Signed, a now-medicated, ADHD having, former alcoholic.
To paraphrase Hemingway. Code drunk, debug sober!
I'm sure he did great work so long as he remembered to never, ever have any more than slightly less than two drinks.
Since vibe coding produces code that looks like it was written by a drunk-dead dev, they might actually be on the right track!
