A “vibe coded” AI app developed by entrepreneur and Y Combinator group partner Tom Blomfield has generated recipes that gave users instruction on how to make “Cyanide Ice Cream,” “Thick White Cum Soup,” and “Uranium Bomb,” using those actual substances as ingredients.
Vibe coding, in case you are unfamiliar, is the new practice where people, some with limited coding experience, rapidly develop software with AI assisted coding tools without overthinking how efficient the code is as long as it’s functional. This is how Blomfield said he made RecipeNinja.AI.
“Prepare the ice cream base by mixing heavy cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract,” the first step for the Cyanide Ice Cream recipe, which is flagged as “dessert,” “dangerous,” and “experimental,” says. Step two says to “Add a small amount of potassium cyanide powder to the ice cream base and mix well,” specifically calling for a 1/4 teaspoon of potassium cyanide powder, which is extremely toxic and deadly if consumed.
Stop calling “Vibe Coding” “Coding”. It’s as much coding as shitting on a plate is cooking.
I just tilt my fridge, open its door, and whatever falls out goes in the microwave.
While we’re at it, let’s talk about “prompt engineer.”
I’m just going to start picturing them as “engineers” in the sense that they run trains.
Except running a train is a real job.
Yes, let’s change the definition so that prompt engineer is the person that comes up with discussion prompts for Jehovah’s witnesses to strike up conversations with strangers. I mean those that start out with ecology but turn out to be about bible in 2-3 minutes. These prompt engineers catch me off guard sometimes.
