it's great for smaller tasks, but the context window is small
I use it for summaries of articles, automatic promo writing for GodcasterU stations and there's enough room for Fish 1.5 to run on it as well for voicing the promos. For coding, not so much.

As a sloperator, got 5.3 and Claude 4.6 have felt pretty equal. The difference in token cost however has been a factor 20x higher on Claude. Costs are calculated on using opencode's payment system.

Exactly. If you aren't changing the content automatically, but are bundling tools for the user to make their own choices then there is no liability.
Franco has hit the sweet spot with this method.

That is not "altering their work"
If you ignore a podcaster's provided chapter or transcripts, that's a different story.
I've realized speed listening for over a decade, but that is not altering my work per sé. It's a user's choice to rot their brain and ruin their human relationships.

Great piece Alberto!
My only question is this: "If AI conceived it, generated it, and published it with minimal human involvement, and there is no disclosure, that’s where the concern lies."
Why is this of concern?
Just trying to get to the bottom of the issue.
Who would this concern? The listener?

Vibe Coding = Prayer
Indeed I often thank the Holy Spirit for guiding me through the interactions I have with the LLM!

2026-03-02 15:10:44 UTC

“Autonomous systems don’t always fail loudly. It’s often silent failure at scale”
This is exactly what I'm experiencing.
However, this article is disingenuous, it is not that "AI systems" are doing "exactly what they are told to do".
I reality, they hallucinate, can't actually understand user intent and often fail to say "I don't understand" or "I can't do that"
Instead AI's confirm an operation that has actually failed.
These things are anything but intelligent.

I've learned how to start a new session when the context window gets full and confused
I use my products and refine them over time, same process. I have multiple scripts that do things, sometimes interacting with each other. 40 years of starting and stopping services, grepping logs and writing very simple bash's scripts filled me with enough knowledge to use LLMs to of fill in all the blanks. It feels very much like the maker era to me, just on a different playing field.

I was a maker in my early teens, connecting wires on my radio shack 100 in 1 projects kit. That's when I built my first transmitter. .2 watts FM.
I am feeling the same joy I did back then, even if nobody will use them but me.
I don't use an IDE. I describe what I want and copy paste entire python scripts, requiring a full re-write for each change so I don't mess up the code hacking around or inserting code changes.

Thank you for sharing this article.
I disagree with a lot of it. I've spent almost a full year vibe coding on 2 products. I don't think vibe coding was even a word then. The process has changed me internally. Knowing what I wanted, having a knowledge of systems but no way to realize my thoughts myself has been a decades long quest. It's been a wonderful journey. And over time I've been able to put these products into production and used by clients who never had anything like it.
