Ok, I am old and not a techy person⦠I thought āvibe codeā was a bad thing? So, is this ad saying āshitty code without the code?ā So itās just shitty? Or is my understanding of āvibe codingā wrong and itās a good thing?
Vibe coding typically needs to be double-checked to make sure that it does what itās actually supposed to because LLMs are notoriously prone to hallucinations. This ad suggests that their AI is better and you donāt need to double check it.
But whatās probably more likely is that theyāre just trying to break searches for āai bubble.ā
Before current AI/LLM shenanigans, there were a lot of ālow code/no codeā visual programming solutions aimed at allowing novices to write software using little to no code. Visual programming software like Microsoft Power Automate, which provides users with a list of predefined commands which they can drag-and-drop onto a flowchart. When a user clicks the play button, the commands in the flowchart execute in order.
This sort of system is great for novices, allowing people who do not have experience programming (people like you, apparently) to create simple programs that do useful things. But as a project grows in complexity, so does the need to get into the code itself and tinker around to fix the nitty gritty details. A more experienced developer is going to want to get into the lower functions of the program and find a solution to the problem. But these visual programming solutions do not offer the ability to fix the nitty gritty. You are stuck only refining the high-level details, which is often not enough to solve your problem.
āTraditionalā vibe coding with languages like JavaScript, C++, etc. can potentially work because an LLM spits out actual programming code that ostensibly does something. And if a developer needs to tweak that code to work a little differently, they hypothetically can. Sure, a pure vibe coder will not know what they are doing as they turn the proverbial knobs in an attempt to fix the system. But at least the knobs are there to turn, and turning them in the right way can potentially eventually solve the problem.
āVibe code without the codeā probably means to speak to an LLM and have it spit out one of those minorly-editable flowcharts. You get the benefits of vibe coding and the detriments of visual programming. You donāt know what to do to fix it, and you canāt fix it anyway because the tools donāt let you.
When I was in Boston they had screen ads like that and the tiles look familiar. Might be NYC? Not many other options in the US, idk about other countries. I donāt think you can dox someone just knowing that theyāre white and they ride the T.
Itās been a whileā¦I work in that area but wfh 99% of the time and drive in like 0.75%. I donāt recall if new Kendall outbound has the bells still.
this looks like MTA but Iām not completely sure. the stations can look really wildly different from each other because theyāre maintained by 3 former train companies in a trenchcoat, with severely asymmetrical priorities
Oooh so clever, call it bubble so when people search ai bubbleā¦
I mean itāll probably work on some peopleā¦
jokes on you, google chatbot wonāt know about it because it was made past cutoff date
kid named web search tool
Oh no! Our AI bot creates terrible code! We are doomed!
But sir, what if we simply donāt show the code to users?
Dammit Jenkins, you did it again! You are a genius!
Fixed that for you.
Like serverless applications ā¦
you might think that thereās a bubble

I see, thank you for explaining. So, shitty AI company making shitty ads about probably a shitty product.
So business as usual :ā)
Itās all hallucinations. Sometimes the hallucinations are close enough to reality to be useful.

Itās probably some app engine that lets product teams enter prompts without even giving the option to view the code.
Slop - new recipe now with more slop! Buy one AI and get a tulip bulb for free!
Calling it bubble is really tempting fate.
Weāve officially jumped the shark.
Iām yoinking this image
Vibe code without the code? So⦠vibe everything? Hell no
Edit: āHey bubble, how do i wipe my own ass?ā
Pay us $100 more per month for ass wiping subscription
Itās like buying a memecoin called ponzi
I was just recently reading that the NYC subway is awash in vague weird B2B AI ads directed at nobody and theyāre calling it āsubway slopā.
Oh yeah thereās a lot of them and theyāre terrible.
I like that someone edited one so instead of saying āone click: job doneā it said āone click: job goneā
I swear the people who deface subway ads in New York are some of the cleverest funniest sonsofbitches around.
Shipping code without anyone ever looking at it, WCGW?
Wow the $549/month version gives access to 20 days of server logs, how generous
Imagine getting doxxed because someone recognized the subway tiles
When I was in Boston they had screen ads like that and the tiles look familiar. Might be NYC? Not many other options in the US, idk about other countries. I donāt think you can dox someone just knowing that theyāre white and they ride the T.
NGL I was gonna say this looks like a T-Stop. Maybe Kendall or South Station?
I was thinking South station/downtown crossing, kendall doesnāt have the division like that and has the tubular bells
Didnāt they just redo kendall outbound tho?
Itās been a whileā¦I work in that area but wfh 99% of the time and drive in like 0.75%. I donāt recall if new Kendall outbound has the bells still.
Itād make sense that theyād put a tech ad at Kendall/MIT. Or anywhere on the northern Red line tbh.
not even necessarily white
good luck doxxing someone in NYC lol

We call that vibing.
I first thought this was an ad for a bobba shop, and thought it was clever.
I miss when vibing was just taking ecstacy at raves
so stupid hahah
Duct tape is cheap.
tbh most if not all ads are terrible, i actually kinda like how this one doesnāt feature shitty ai generated slop images
