Right.

And a lot of people interpret that as, oh, it's using AI to write code for you, which I think is a bad definition because then it becomes useless.

Like,

A couple of years, all code will be written with some level of AI assistance.

I think having a distinction where you say, no, vibe coded is, didn't review it, just sort of threw it in there and saw what happened.

That's kind of useful now.

Is it still useful in a couple of years even then, right?

That blog entry caused one of the books to rename itself.

There were two vibe coding books.

One of them renamed itself to Beyond Vibe Coding.

Oh, wow.

Oh, did it, Simon?

term even though it also sucks and the definition is bad and people get can't even agree on what they define like what they use uh to mean but like i did try i have been trying out but i vibed this up like i didn't vibe code i vibed you vibed it i vibed it and my wife is like no

But the Chinese thing, like have you had your own laptop run a model that thinks in Chinese yet?

Because that's,

Beautiful.

I think the interesting thing about that one is that the labs are trying to stop that from happening just from the interpretability point of view.

Like if you look at all of the interpretability research, the whole point of that is we really want to know what they're thinking because we don't want them going dark on us.

I'd like to tag something onto that one.

I think that only works if they can wash that through existing trusted experts.
