Make this your weekend read: Designer Frank Chimero talks about AI and specifically vibe coding. “Time saved is not strength gained,” he says, and gets into how Brian Eno works with machines for his music. And then there is a nice riff on the Ghibli movie “Spirited Away”. Recommended!
Summary
- AI is entering a new phase, with progress slowing and projections being walked back, suggesting an "AI autumn" may be coming.
- There is a lack of solidarity among technology workers, as AI is used to displace and replace collaborators rather than working together.
- The "vibe coding" concept promoted by figures like Rick Rubin is problematic, as it promotes a dependency on machines rather than developing skills.
