@ocdtrekkie I interpreted that paragraph as promotion of running vibecoded apps. there is no ethical way to use LLMs because their externalities are just so extreme.

@dthompson I mean, I would argue that if everyone who currently subscribes switched to the vibe-coded slop-replacements of Adobe and Microsoft's product suites and collapsed those two companies, that would probably be an ethical and environmental net positive. (And an overall reduction in the funding and use of LLMs.)
I won't claim authority on what level of penance justifies the use of AI to solve a problem, but I think there's probably some sort of math equation to it.

@ocdtrekkie I don't think that's a realistic scenario and it's hard to justify using LLMs based on that bet. the far more likely outcome imo is that courts will uphold the copyright protections for large companies while the exploitation of the commons continues unabated.
