The discourse about #vibeCode is mired in technicalites. In reality, vibe coding – or code generation – is mired in a complex web of socio-political factors. Coding assistants will be here to stay, let’s consider their externalities too.

Microsoft's own research confirms something that was already pretty obvious: relying on a text generating machine to come up with answers erodes critical thinking, and is a method favoured by those who never liked doing critical thinking in the first place

Das Berliner Polizeigesetz soll trotz erheblicher rechtlicher Bedenken verschärft werden (Taser, Bodycams & Unterbindungsgewahrsam bis zu 7 Tagen).
Finanziert werden diese Neuerungen durch Kürzungen von Geldern in allen sozialen Bereichen.

ChatGPT tool could be abused by scammers and hackers
A cutting-edge tool from Open AI appears to be poorly moderated, allowing it to be abused by cyber-criminals.

Sam Altman is still trying to return as OpenAI CEO
Altman’s move to Microsoft isn’t a done deal, and Ilya Sutskever’s flip to supporting Altman means two board members need to change their minds.

Wrote a small thing about permalink-driven breadcrumbs navigation. I’m using Eleventy, but the approach is portable to whereever there are permalinks.
It’s handy if your permalink reflects the complete hierarchy.

I took this question and wrote down some notes about the (im)possibility to license commercial AI.

Question: has anybody seen any good thinking/writing about how much money generative AI companies should be investing in licensing the content they're using for their models? How much would/should it cost to pay for the corpus? (Not interested in replies about how unlikely this happening is, thanks)
