>For all the websites and apps I whip through on a given day, they’ve always been mysterious to me — pyramids erected by an unfathomable priesthood. Suddenly I was a pyramid builder.
I think this diffusion of knowledge, which represents the rising floor of progress, is the largest benefit of the AI phenomenon to date.

> Having needled her repeatedly over the past couple years about AI’s environmental, political, and economic implications, I brushed all that aside on a recent Sunday and drove to her house. After a little tibia talk, I opened her computer and began emitting vibes.
So the author had a moral, environmental, political and economic stance and then just threw them all in the bin.
This is sad to me because I have all of these stances and more. I just cannot bring myself to give in and use a technology wrought with so many systemic problems. And I cannot understand how anyone could feel so strongly about anything to the point of preaching it to others, only to just sort of … ignore them(?).

Sure. Anyone can purchase code form an LLM vendor. The more important question is what do you do when things go wrong? Since you didn't code anything (vibe coding is a misnomer) you have no understanding of it. When it breaks or does not work as planned, you are at the mercy of the LLM. That's a hard dependency. Good luck with your purchased code.
