I think some of the problem is the term vibe coding.

Spot on. Most engineers at companies are using LLMs nowadays but when we use it in our daily lives it becomes "vibe coded".

I've started using the term agentically built or agentically driven instead.

I've been doing a lot of work around this area and the issue tends to pop up around context. There are instances a haiku model will catch something far more accurately than gpt-oss-safeguard. Obviously you pay in costs, realistically, you need a full system here for a proper implementation so some flows to tiny LLM some flows exclusively ML, some flows to a higher intelligence.

People on the fediverse are generally pretty anti ai but it's basically impossible to scale a platform without AI moderation. I would fully welcome any instance trying an implementation of [Osprey](https://discord.com/blog/osprey-open-sourcing-our-rule-engine with LLMs.

Meanwhile china is going all in on coal

A 6 month - 1 year plan doesn't mean much when there's multiple 5-10 year plans set fully in on nuclear and renewables.

If it puts into perspective the growth and why I can't buy into this downfall, this released today by anthropic:

Demand from Claude customers has accelerated in 2026. Our run-rate revenue has now surpassed $30 billion-up from approximately $9 billion at the end of 2025. When we announced our Series G fundraising in February, we shared that over 500 business customers were each spending over $1 million on an annualized basis. Today that number exceeds 1,000, doubling in less than two months.

Things are changing very very fast.

I agree this will lead to a large pullback, but in a world where a shovel has been discovered I can't see anyone going back to digging by their bare hands again.

And that doesn't change if all the investment into future capabilities stops today.

I would think this would to lead to the demise of OpenAI whereas Anthropic will survive due to enterprise contracts.

FYI on Ed Zitron the guy didn't even know what a programming function was a few weeks ago. This is freshmen level CS stuff. You should keep that in mind when reading his LLM takes. He's not an adequate reporter there imo.

I understand what you're saying but Opus has already changed programming forever. It is here, companies are stuck on it, people are stuck on it and that's if everything stopped today.

Nobody is going back to coding by hand. Does path to probability make sense when you have as sticky as a product as they have?

Worst case scenario open source catches up to you and we move back to a more centralized computing model.

Dream bigger! Amazon already has last mile distribution hubs set up every major city. It's absolutely feasible to run electric rail to major last mile distribution hubs.

We used to build things very fast in the 1900s in the US. Nowadays not so much.

On the semi trucks we would need a different solution, either push new battery tech pretty hard or swap to hydrogen. Harder for sure.

Some ships are already starting to move back to wind sail systems that can increase efficiency by 30%. It's actually really effective.

I think we are phenomenal engineers here on earth, we just happen to put all that energy into bombs, targeting systems, etc. We can achieve and do a lot, we're just focused on the wrong thing.

Supply chain is the particular area of this I'd pushback pretty hard on and hope it's diesel use dies off and we have a swift conversion to electrification. You can pretty much run a full supply chain electrified now outside of the manufacturing sector (which is low oil use itself can mostly be supplied internally for most). It just takes the proper upfront investment, which is also the better longterm investment but capitalism only cares about short term gains. Perhaps this will be the straw that breaks the camels back.

Fertilizer is the one that's pretty tough to get around, and there's going to be a humanitarian crisis that we should be thinking about.
