Good Vibes Only - The tools are ready, are you?
Vibe coding is essentially asking an LLM to give you the code to build something by simply describing what it should do, rather than inputting any line of code.

Human imperfection - Saving us from the machines
Doesn't sound much like the introduction to The Terminator, The Matrix or any other sci-fi dystopia, but listen to Elon Musk or the late Stephen Hawking discuss "the singularity" and it seems like these low-level activities would be a precursor to more dangerous and broader leaps that will eventually lead to technological servitude.
