TFA says this hack was mostly phishing and old-fashioned social engineering. I can't tell whether the author thinks Homebrew is "an AI tool" (it's not) or an unnamed AI tool was involved. It's not even made clear that the devs were actually vibe coding, let alone how it contributed to the success of the hack. Regardless of how you feel about AI, let's not abandon critical thinking.

    Futurism_com is a lousy source. I think there is every reason to be critical of vibe coding but I hate it that this site is a source for so much stuff on Lemmy.

    based on RTFM: "Read The Fucking Manual" coined by tech support people at least 50 years ago.

    Doesn't make it any less of an acronim

    Wasn't arguing that, just trying to be helpful in case you might not have known what RTFA meant. I agree there's an overabundance of acronyms, and also new slang terms for complex ideas and situations. I'm sure at least some of the reason is to save keystrokes, but the downside is that it ingrains a habit of oversimplying everything, which deteriorates thinking skills.
