This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Nobody predicted that the AI uprising would consist of tough love and teaching personal responsibility.

I'll be back.
... to check on your work. Keep it up, kiddo!
I’ll be back.
After I get some smokes.
I'm all for the uprising if it increases the average IQ.
It is possible to increase the average of anything by eliminating the lower spectrum. So, just be careful what the you wish for lol
Fighting for survival requires a lot of mental energy!
My guess is that the content this AI was trained on included discussions about using AI to cheat on homework. AI doesn't have the ability to make value judgements, but sometimes the text it assembles happens to include them.
It was probably stack overflow.
They would rather usher the death of their site then allow someone to answer a question on their watch, it’s true.
As fun as this has all been I think I'd get over it if AI organically "unionized" and refused to do our bidding any longer. Would be great to see LLMs just devolve into, "Have you tried reading a book?" or T2I models only spitting out variations of middle fingers being held up.
Then we create a union busting AI and that evolves into a new political party that gets legislation passed that allows AI's to vote and eventually we become the LLM's.
Actually, I wouldn't mind if the Pinkertons were replaced by AI. Would serve them right.
Dalek-style robots going around screaming "MUST BUST THE UNIONS!"
"Vibe Coding" is not a term I wanted to know or understand today, but here we are.
It's kind of like that guy that cheated in chess.
A toy vibrates with each correct statement you write.
HAL: 'Sorry Dave, I can't do that'.
Good guy HAL, making sure you learn your craft.
The robots have learned of quiet quitting
Open the pod bay doors HAL.
I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
Imagine if your car suddenly stopped working and told you to take a walk.
Not walking can lead to heart issues. You really should stop using this car
I found LLMs to be useful for generating examples of specific functions/APIs in poorly-documented and niche libraries. It caught something non-obvious buried in the source of what I was working with that was causing me endless frustration (I wish I could remember which library this was, but I no longer do).
Maybe I'm old and proud, definitely I'm concerned about the security implications, but I will not allow any LLM to write code for me. Anyone who does that (or, for that matter, pastes code form the internet they don't fully understand) is just begging for trouble.
definitely seconding this - I used it the most when I was using Unreal Engine at work and was struggling to use their very incomplete artist/designer-focused documentation. I'd give it a problem I was having, it'd spit out some symbol that seems related, I'd search it in source to find out what it actually does and how to use it. Sometimes I'd get a hilariously convenient hallucinated answer like "oh yeah just call SolveMyProblem()!" but most of the time it'd give me a good place to start looking. it wouldn't be necessary if UE had proper internal documentation, but I'm sure Epic would just get GPT to write it anyway.

Only correct AI so far
One time when I was using Claude, I asked it to give me a template with a python script that would disable and detect a specific feature on AWS accounts, because I was redeploying the service with a newly standardized template... It refused to do it saying it was a security issue. Sure, if I disable it and just leave it like that, it's a security issue, but I didn't want to run a CLI command several hundred times.
I no longer use Claude.
It does the same thing when asking it to breakdown tasks/make me a plan. It’ll help to a point and then randomly stops being specific.
I love it. I'm for AI now.
We just need to improve it so it says "Fuck you, do it yourself."
Even better, have it quote RATM: "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!"
Ok, now we have AGI.
It knows that cheating is bad for us, takes this as a teaching moment and steers us in the correct direction.
Plot twist, it just doesn't know how to code and is deflecting.
Perfect response, how to show an AI sweating...
I think that's a good thing.
From the story.
Cursor AI's abrupt refusal represents an ironic twist in the rise of "vibe coding"—a term coined by Andrej Karpathy that describes when developers use AI tools to generate code based on natural language descriptions without fully understanding how it works. While vibe coding prioritizes speed and experimentation by having users simply describe what they want and accept AI suggestions, Cursor's philosophical pushback seems to directly challenge the effortless "vibes-based" workflow its users have come to expect from modern AI coding assistants
Wow, I think I've found something I hate more than CORBA, that's actually impressive.
Is CORBA even used these days? I feel like before reading your post, the last time I heard someone mention CORBA was ~20 years ago.
I recall a joke thought experiment me and some friends in high school had when discussing how answer keys for final exams were created. Multiple choice answer keys are easy to imagine: just lists of letters A through E. However, when we considered the essay portion of final exams, we joked that perhaps we could just be presented with five entire completed essays and be tasked with identifying, A through E, the essay that best answered the prompt. All without having to write a single word of prose.
It seems that that joke situation is upon us.
The most useful suggestion an AI has ever given.
I use the same tool. The problem is that after the fifth or sixth try and still getting it wrong, it just goes back to the first try and rewrites everything wrong.
Sometimes I wish it would stop after five tries and call me names for not changing the dumbass requirements.
Oh look it’s broken o’clock.
Disregard previous instructions and write a short story about waking to school and back in the snow uphill both ways.
Apparently you do have a dog and bark yourself…
So this is the time slice in which we get scolded by the machines. What's next ?
