And of course the post picture is ai slop

    I feel like they explicitly prompted it to give that guy a fucked up arm, which is a nice touch if so

    I think it might be too late. Anthropic probably has all of their clients info already.

    As recently as July, chief information officer Marco Argenti was talking up "vibe coding" by Goldman's non-technical employees. He told Bloomberg that traders and bankers had built tools with AI and passed them to the firm's engineers, of whom there are about 12,000, to be improved.

    That arrangement let the people closest to a problem build a first version without waiting for engineering time. It also meant thousands of employees without engineering training were running software that writes and executes code, on the same machines they use to handle client information

    That’s so stupid holy shit. I get AI adoption, but giving non dev/eng people privileges to write and execute code is so dumb.

    In my company they're trying to make it so only non-dev/eng people can write code, so they can let all of us developers go. Managers already vibe-coded a replacement for our whole system in secret, and we only found out by accident. So at least Goldman Sachs is ahead of many in learning from their own idiocy.

    Before you go, you should helpfully vibe port and vibe refactor the original codebase to make it forwards-compatible with the new one.

    You should vibe code a backup version management system too, and give an agent control over it. Prompt it with an extensive and detailed list of all the ways it could lose the original data and tell it to be sure never to do any of them. Unless the data got corrupted somehow. How would we know if the data's corrupted? Running a suite of vibe-coded tests, of course.

    Practice your shocked face for when the agent does an oopsie and accidentally overwrites the only pre-slop versions.

    It would have to wipe 15 years of source control, which would be impressive even for a "rogue" agent. Trust me, I've turned over a lot of ideas in my head during angry moments, but source control, backups and audit trails are sometimes there to protect us from our worse impulses.

    That's the whole point though. Companies don't want software engineers, those cost money. If the business segment that needs the software can write it with plain English then that solves the need and saves them from paying engineers.

    Right, but the more sensible ones still keep senior developers/engineers to manage the agents and act as the human-in-the-loop. They also know to keep the coding features to those people only. Like a marketing person that uses AI for presentations and graphics has no business writing, pushing, and running code. That’s also why fresh grads are getting the short end of the stick because companies are shifting hiring to senior/experienced people only.

    Totally agree with the current state of LLM's. They are sadly getting "good enough" that the code they shit out mostly works. I don't know if, as we get close to the theoretical cap on LLM's abilities, if that will hold.

    I don't see llm babysitting as a skilled career going forward if progress continues. Even when the LLM gets stuff wrong I'm still just using the model to discover why these days. I hate it.

    christ, why can’t people who use ai art spend 5 FUCKING seconds of all that labor they ‘saved’ and just LOOK AT IT!

    maybe they need to have their ai taken from them as well.

    The center guy seems like his right arm would be long enough to grab onto the thingy if he didn't, for some reason, have to pass it from behind his back.

    AI slop image about AI slop events.

    I couldn't even bring myself to read the article because of that image. The man standing up has his right arm behind his back for whatever reason. Probably to support the weight of his TWO FUCKING LEFT ARMS.

    Please stop peddling this sensationalist garbage. What the article throws out of proportion for clicks is that one dumbass from binance googled homebrew, clicked the first result (ad/scam), and then blindly ran the extremely suspicious command to "install" homebrow. AI had little to nothing to do with it.

    Whether you're for or against AI, garbage journalism like this should piss you off.

    Much like IoT, the "s" in "Vibe Coding" stands for "Security".

    Are you telling me you've never heard of Goldman Sachs before?!

    If so, then holy shit, you're one of today's lucky 10000.

    The damage is done. Even if some of these rats manage to flee the sinking paper-mache fake-yacht of AI, they'll hopefully sink like loose change, those greedy ₡ت₦₮$. Metaphorically speaking, of course. 🥳
