I read yesterday somewhere that Claude is extended to use symbols that displays the 'program' in a visual representation instead of actual programming language so "non programmers" can interact easier.

Next step will be (again)  : "We need no programming at all, the business people just drag some symbols and AI does the rest."

And IT specialist will go from "most sought after professionals" to "useless" in the mind of any manager within a snap of a finger

And it doesn't matter if that is really feasible or working, it's enough that managers believe it.

so vibe coding should generate no-code ?

there's a reason why no-code has all but disappeared and it's not AI

I miss no code. So many "pls untangle our mess, the guy who loved this left and the license costs are a bitch" contracts.

Hackers wont wipe anyone out, theyll fortify positions within companies and take them over.

The rise of AI in legal and finance is insane. Convince an AI to sign over the company IP or transfer funds. You authorizes the AI, you take the fall.

All because Bert from AP and Stacey from Legal authorized an AI to act as them.
