I wonder if we will get to the point where this is all so easy that we'll need something like Flickr to organize all the random things one has vibe-coded.

It's already starting to feel like the days when your uncle would make you sit in a dark room and look at his vacation slide show. Sure, they're fine photos, but we quickly got to the point where a photograph was so easy to create that it needed to be extraordinary not just in execution, but in vision, timeliness, originality, etc. And even then, if you couldn't get it in front of the right editor, it just sat in a pile.

It is amazing, that just a few years ago this would have been a pretty amazing, portfolio-worthy project and today it's "pretty cool", said with a shrug.

I've been seeing lots of demos like this, especially with games. Yes, they are impressive, but I'm surprised nobody is talking about some of the things I've noticed with GPT-6: the code it writes, by default, is surprisingly messy and obviously unmaintainable. It's also very...not human. No human would write code like it does. I get the sense that the optimization of these models on benchmarks is causing their behavior to morph into a very brute-force type of approach. It makes you think: when code is suddenly very cheap, does good style and organization even matter as much? Or were those just important for humans? (I think they still do, for the record).

I hope the future generations of models will stop with the fluff/textual clutter/overexplanations - I don't know the right term. They easily fix those once you tell them, but they still do them by default. What I mean on this page, for example:

> A WORLD, FOUR BILLION YEARS IN THE MAKING

> DEEP TIME · CONTINENTS IN MOTION

> Distance becomes an ocean.

> Continents drift apart. Shallow seas spread across land that will one day be dry.

> EXPLORE 4.54 BILLION YEARS OF EARTH HISTORY

> EARTH THROUGH TIME

> Scroll to travel through time Drag to orbit

> THE PAST IS ANOTHER WORLD. IT IS ALSO OURS.

> ILLUSTRATIVE TRANSITION

> Ga = billion years · Ma = million years / Event spacing is not linear

It gets to the point where if you ask a model to make a tiny toy "OS", it'll write stuff like "REAL MODE. REAL MULTITASKING. DRAG WINDOWS / TAB TO SWITCH" directly in the background of the desktop of said toy OS.

It looks cool but I just can’t be that bothered to engage with something that contains so little of a human’s input.

When I see things like this, what I'm most interested in is seeing the full conversation/prompts and their associated changes/diffs.

I'm more interested in seeing how others are prompting and working with LLMs than the result itself.

Care to share?

This is objectively wrong. Over the north pole, Greenland looks as large as North America does when it is the center of the viewport. This is some strange mercator-esque projection applied to a globe.

At some point I wonder where and when AI will just be taken as a means of exfiltration of knowledge from the traditional cathedrals/bazaars/silos - I mean, obviously, the more that knowledge is shared the more valuable it becomes .. but couldn’t this also mean that the training data included apps like this?

The 'Civilization' view took non-Eurocentrism to a new level.

Very cool. I built something similar to simulate climate change... my first project built exclusively via prompting.

https://terrashift.io/ (it doesn't work on mobile right now, lame I know)

What a fun time to build!

For anyone wondering, it's 2.4K lines of code. Very small, but yes AI is very impressive.

Literally can’t see an earth on safari iOS

Edit> on second refresh it worked

I’ve wanted something like this for a long time. However, I wanted it with extensive fact-checked information and AI slop is the opposite of that so I feel this is kinda pointless.

I thought this was super cool…

And then I clicked the “Explore” button on the top right and there are even more things that you can see! Pretty neat.

There is an old site that offers the same functionality: https://dinosaurpictures.org/ancient-earth

(Use its dropdown.)

Was it before or after GPT-6 got nerfed?

Publish the prompts or re-run them today to see if you get the same quality result.

yeah, but is any of this true?

is this for real? 5 prompts? this is pretty cool.
