#2> I am going to state a bet: In 5 to 10 years, once all the vibe coders get hooked into LLMs, there's going to be so much unmaintainable, wrongly architectured crap code in every codebase they touch, that by then they are unable to get any work done without consulting their LLM. And if that heap of collected technical debt becomes so large that even the LLM fails
In 5-10 years AI is going to be so much better than even the best human coder that this is a moot point. If anything AI will be used to correct all the crappy human made code that is still being pushed due to the vanity of coders still pretending that they are better than AI at coding.
I can understand hating AI, but it seems like many who are against genAI have a strange delusional disbelief of how good the models are, and the trend-line we are on. They think that their special skills will never be eclipsed by an AI model. If you are going on a crusade against genAI and LLM’s at least be honest about what you’re up against.

In my opinion by Opus 4.7 Claude was better at coding than most programmers. While there is certainly more slop being produced now overall, I believe the quality of important projects like Linux and proprietary software created by large companies, where advanced AI will be piloted by skilled engineers, will improve in quality, maybe dramatically, over the next decade.

#6I sincerely disagree that AI is worse than the crypto/NFT hype… pig butchering is one of the most disgusting practices imaginable and it was turned into a legitimate low effort vehicle for scammers due to web3 and the hype train.
AI is definitely on a scale of magnitude more but it has inherent value outside of “scarcity”. It’s actually quite the opposite with sheer supply/demand balance. Also investing in crypto made me less money than investing in myself by using AI to learn and challenge myself to think differently.

It’s kind of a pointless article. Also framed wrong. Generative AI doesn’t “stand for” anything. It’s just a cool technology. Author’s time would be better spent criticizing big tech perhaps.

I am still 100% willing to concede that Opus 4.8 or even how good Mythos is supposed to be is not yet at the general reasoning ability of top 5% coders or any smart human with a few years of domain experience. However the rate of improvement is so consistent and unrelenting that it seems silly to assume that it will just stop short of human level. Even if algorithmic, research and data quality improvements suddenly stopped, we still have years of better GPU’s and scaling

I generally try not to be outright dismissive of articles/blogposts, but I don't see a ton of value in reading about someone being against opening Pandora's Box after the box has been opened. It can never be shut and we are going to have to figure out how to live with the consequences of it.
I gave the article a chance regardless and it's nothing I've not read before.
