What are those reasons?
1. Proper attribution shows that you are someone who possesses self-awareness. Self-awareness is a signal to others that you are more trustworthy.
2. It gives a signal to maintainers that they must be extra vigilant in reviewing the PR.
3. If the event that you are someone who doesn't know how to select models well, it gives an opportunity to someone who does know better than you to know what to watch out for. Some models produce bad code, others mediocre. By stating the name of the model you help reviewers be on-guard for what to expect.
4. If your project is vibe-coded, this too gives a signal to potential users of your project that they need to be extra cautious when using it.
5. It gives potential contributors to your project a heads up of the types of things they might need to help with. For example, if a project is highly vibe-coded, it might need help with refactoring and coherence.
6. It demonstrates that you are an honest individual. This helps build repoir.
7. It gives a chance to someone else to take what you've done an improve on it. For example, if you're submitting a PR with a cool feature that someone else wants to hand-write, it gives them the chance to do that. It's win-win, you get the feature, they get the feature, and both get improved code and peace of mind.
There are probably other reasons to make sure — regardless of how much coding experience you have — that you always provide proper attribution when presenting vibe coded work to people.

2026-03-09 00:31:34 CET

If an LLM wrote the code don't say, "Look at what I built".
Say, "Look what I asked [AI] to build."
Professionals will always correctly attribute work. This is important for many reasons.
Fail to do this and you'll come across as unprofessional.

There is a HUGE difference between coding and vibe coding.

Ray Kurzweil's "ghost in the machine" is an apt description for the phenomenon.
#moltbook looks real but the architecture of most of these AIs is still ghostware. It's a sort of echo of frozen human intelligence. What gives it greater realism is the cron script and memory files.
This isn't to say it's not fascinating or even not concerning.
Zombies and viruses aren't really conscious either and they're more than capable of damage. Definitely something to keep an eye on.

If you're working on something genuinely new and difficult, AI is of no help at all. The reason it's not helpful is because it has no pre-existing data set to copy/paste from. And since LLMs do not really "understand", they can't really extrapolate from what they've been trained on either.

Besides #Odysee, there is @nprofile…ef2g.
The issue with #PeerTube though is that it's not yet ready to compete with BeastTube. AFAIR, it's missing:
- Federation-wide search. I should be able to search the entire library of videos on all federated servers from any instance.
- Search results should come quickly
- Recommendations from all federated servers using a highly intelligent recommendation algorithm
- Shorts
PeerTube is its own thing, and certainly important, but it doesn't directly compete with BeastTube, whereas Odysee does.

One of the biggest lies in Western Media is that Western countries are "democracies".
The reality is none of them are.
They are all oligarchies of various sorts, some more totalitarian than others.

"As of December 27, Australians will be forced to upload government-issue IDs every time they search the web.... No ID, no search."
"The reasoning is protecting kids from adult content... The reality, though—some critics say—is a full-scale experiment in digital control."
"Access to essential online services—including payment systems, messaging, computing apps—could depend on possession of a digital ID... Refusal would effectively block a citizen from daily life online."

People use Zionist-owned platforms almost exclusively and then proceed to complain about Zionist censorship on these platforms.

Some people will do literally anything other than stop using #BigTech software.

Should I create new accounts for myself and all related projects?
I don't think so, that doesn't seem like the power move to me.
I shouldn't be jumping through hoops for #BigTech, Big Tech should be jumping through hoops for me.

I did not lose my voice to LLMs. #BigTech simply silenced me on their platforms.

What happens when malicious actors with agendas have taken over the very media that people have these debates on in the first place?
Well now you get into Advanced Fraud Lessons™
Suddenly the experts themselves are chosen by someone else who manages public perception.

This is actually quite an effective technique for frauds to use.
They will say, "Look, I'm not afraid to debate anyone!" and will point to a group of uneducated non-experts that they've engaged.
Indeed, anyone off the street they'll debate, but an actual expert? 🦗🦗

2025-11-22 18:50:28 CET

How can you tell who is lying?
There are many ways, but one is to see who is afraid of public debate.
You've got Expert A, and Expert B. They say opposite things.
If Expert A backs down from a public debate with Expert B, that's a sure sign that Expert A may not be an expert.
To get around this, frauds will be very selective in who they choose to debate.
They will pick a weak opponent, usually a lay person, and will promote this video as evidence that they are both right and not afraid of debate.

One of the reasons why #Mastodon is able to add so many new features is because it's written in Ruby.
However, this also makes it unattractive to run in the first place because of Ruby's inefficiency.
This is why I encourage new #Fediverse developers to adopt #V: https://vlang.io #vlang
V is like Go but better.
It is as fast as #Rust, but has better syntax.
You'll be able to code faster. Your code will read better.
If you're a Rust developer, consider making the switch!

Fediverse implementers must pay attention to performance impacts.
For example, when @nprofile…4xp5 simply replied to one of my posts, my server immediately went nuts. A smaller server would've been taken offline.
This should not happen.
Instead of servers immediately loading conversational contexts they should only do so in response to user-action. Only if Christine's followers were actually clicking on her reply to see more should my server be hit.

These principles apply to everyone.
You there, scrolling the feed, need to understand them because without them you cannot understand your social media feed.
History is written every day and without these lessons you cannot comprehend it.

History teachers need not wait for an order from on high to start teaching this stuff.
Students must first learn how to learn History before they can learn History.
Without teaching these principles teachers are failing their students and themselves.

Lesson 6 (should be much earlier but I didn't think the order through): What a primary source is and why it's important
Teaching this type of stuff is more important than teaching History, because without it you cannot learn History.

We can keep going:
Lesson 3: When official stories and official sources and officials fail
Lesson 4: How to think for yourself from first principles
Lesson 5: Deep fakes and how to detect them

If I were President of a country, I would institute mandatory media literacy classes for all students, and a public campaign on media literacy.
Lesson 1: Do not trust anything you read or watch or listen to online
Lesson 2: How to verify information online
Etc.
