Replied to: ⚠️ This is the post that Mastodon Social took down. Can you see any harassment? Can you see any violence or sexual imagery? Can you see any hate speech? No. What you see is a very polite comment suggesting the lessons of history have not been learned.

Boosted: I need to be very clear, that the push towards "vibe coding" - that is, deliberately deskilling people - is because AI code assistants are an (increasingly expensive) subscription service. If you know how to code, you can just write Python, C, Java, R, PHP, whatever for free and make things. You may not own the tools of production, but at least you're not renting them. If you have been deskilled so you only know how to vibe code, you will be paying for that privilege forever. This also goes, by the way, for researchers who are starting to be convinced they don't need to learn how to be scientists anymore, because "the AI" can just do the science for them. Nope.
