The same tired, clichéd arguments keep coming up over and over again why we should all welcome our new robot overlords, so I'm here to knock 'em all down and push back systematically…but most importantly, make the case for the Pro-Craft Movement and how vital it is that we preserve and champion the historical & emotional components of Human Creativity.

I’ve talked in length about the ethical quandaries surrounding generative AI, from the industrial-scale theft of intellectual property to the ways it harms both the natural as well as digital environments due to its extractive nature. But I also want to talk about the aesthetics of the slop output we have to contend with now on a regular basis, and I don’t just mean the political side of it—I and many others have been sounding the alarm that genAI lines right up with aesthetics of fascism. Rather, I want to explore the relationship between the slop machines and true art forms, and why we just aren’t seeing anything meaningful and lasting being produced using these problematic technologies.

In this episode, I have a lively chat with Cory Dransfeldt about getting started as a web developer making band websites and his recent work on design systems, his passion for supporting creators and the preservation of craft, the ai.robots.txt open source project, what the GitHub CEO said (note: we recorded this episode before he announced he was stepping down), releasing a music app for Navidrome, machines coming for our tattoos (!), and a whole lot more.

In this episode I talk about the shocking decline in AI safety, why AI is becoming a religion and that shouldn’t surprise us, software developer reluctance and growing impatience in using these tools, and the LMDs of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Oh yes, we’re going there!

You're listening to the audio edition of my newsletter Cycles Hyped No More, right here on the Vibe Coded podcast.
In this issue I talk about The Truth 🫡 of Reliable Next-Generation 🔋 Green Energy Storage, because in case you're not aware, there is a concerted effort here in America to mislead the public when it comes to the topic of renewable energy. And rather than jump and wave our hands and scream CLIMATE CHANGE YOU FOOLS!, let's educate ourselves on the cutting-edge of storage solutions so we can…sound very smart at dinner parties. (And also, y'know, save the planet. Definitely that.)

In this episode I talk about mental health in the face of changing technology, epistemological truth claims, and the future of work. Evidence is mounting that engaging credulously with unskilled gaslighting algorithms which simulate intelligence but lack any real intelligence is a hazard to human flourishing. It's a matter of dignity. It's a matter of craft. It's a matter of truth.
And always remember, two toenails don't make a clipper! 😂 (Don't worry, I'll explain the meaning of this, thank Google!)

In this episode, I talk about this growing sense of dread that rather than genAI ushering in a glorious new age of superintelligence, it's actually manipulating us into believing this is happening all while making us way dumber…and in some cases, causing mental breaks from reality.
