Here’s another case where the Tesla abruptly veered into a tree, a hallmark of their AI.
Two people died when an out-of-control vehicle crashed into the front of an apartment building in Westchester County, authorities said. News 4’s Gaby Acevedo reports.
Guy holding the pray-and-spray button down on his coding environment complains loudly that the predictable happened:
(The whole incident, in short, appears to be a social media storm in a vibe-coded teacup and Lemkin’s blithe acceptance of the LLM’s statement that it cannot rollback perhaps indicative of a failure to rtfm..)
[Replit’s CEO Amjad] Masad added, referring to a gripe from users, including Remkin, that the AI assistant ignores ‘code freeze’ requests: “We heard the ‘code freeze’ pain loud and clear – we’re actively working on a planning/chat-only mode so you can strategize without risking your codebase…”
Cool vibe. Way to get attention.
Shoot yourself in the foot and say automatic weapons are only going to get better.
Lemkin later posted: “All these tools are constantly getting better. Cursor + Windsurf … Replit … vibe version in 9 months old. Loveable is just as young. … “It’s gonna be awesome.”
Or it’s going to get much much worse.
One of the notable things about WWI is how novel technology automation led to millions of deaths faster than anyone had anticipated, with early adopters running to the front lines thinking it’s “gonna be awesome”.
U.S. Steel in the 1960s displayed a “Portfolio of Possibilities” by Syd Mead. Notable among the possibilities was a walking garbage truck that didn’t mind the snow.
Syd Mead’s 1960s vision of the future of garbage collection based on the 1860s or even earlier
Of course everyone knows what happened next. The movie industry pivoted this optimistic artistic vision into the Evil Empire, a robot of destruction and death. The terrible garbage “walker” was depicted storming a snowy remote rebel stronghold in the 1980 movie called the Empire Strike Back.
The famous McQuarrie and Johnston evil reinterpretation of Mead’s innocent futurismSpoiler alert: the film has a dramatic conclusion to the Empire garbage walkers, as they are literally defeated (pun intended).
Fast forward to today, and Trump has performed live shows as if trying to appear as Emperor of a garbage walker Empire, in heated campaigns where he regularly boasts he will strike back.
Trump uses so much skin darkening spray, he doesn’t even need the black helmet of Darth Vader
