Oops, I misunderstood. Well, down to the ground it goes!

I don’t know about you, but I’d be admiring it, thinking of how incredible the amount of clean energy coming from it relative to its tiny waste output is. I wish we had way more nuclear power.

You mean ancestors *descendants. Also, rest assured! That’s not a fear to have: https://www.anl.gov/article/10-myths-about-nuclear-energy

Myth # 5: There is no solution for huge amounts of nuclear waste being generated.

Truth: All of the used nuclear fuel generated in every nuclear plant in the past 50 years would fill a football field to a depth of less than 10 yards, and 96 % of this ​“waste” can be recycled [5]. Used fuel is currently being safely stored. The U.S. National Academy of Sciences and the equivalent scientific advisory panels in every major country support geological disposal of such wastes as the preferred safe method for their ultimate disposal[6].

Hmm, I was only aware of the ones that actually, accidentally made it into releases. Well, what’s to stop such devs from still getting targeted despite these safety checks (I mean, in their personal lives)? We’ve gotta find a way to protect these critical individuals…

Really? What software went from open-source to closed specifically because of vibe-coding? I’d also question how long they kept up their quality… What apps disabled contributions in favor of AI slop? I’ve never heard of this.

Stirling-PDF and Episteme Reader are solid examples of apps that went freemium, but I know of no product that entirely went paid-only because of vibe-coding. If anything, Stirling-PDF was originally vibe-coded and then added traditional programmers to its team upon seeing its popularity skyrocket, from what I remember reading. I’d be curious to see your examples on the other end.

Kdenlive is an old piece of software from over a decade ago. While we can’t be sure that all of the contributors stayed AI-free, I’m sure all of the code was vetted for quality since a lot of people are invested in this incredible video editor.

Even from an anti-AI view, I’m not sure of what to make of skepticism like yours; what if vibe coders simply lie and say they didn’t use AI? Then would you instantly give it a pass? Proof of AI-free work has become impossible due to offline FOSS models, so unless I’m missing something, all we can do is aim for quality and security by this point, I think.

The UI is tricky but that could be said of any video editor other than maybe iMovie lol. Nonetheless, I’ve produced literally every video on my YouTube channel since about 2015-16 using Kdenlive, and would be happy to give pointers if there is anything basic that you don’t know how to do (though I’m certainly no expert).

I have always been impressed by its automatic waveform-syncing ability, which even paid software I used prior couldn’t do.

Maybe they’re interested in finding exactly what the public’s critical breaking point is. Without gauging exactly what the demand (for distraction-free, private use) is, they cannot optimize their sales. They sure lost big with France, but we’ll see who else follows suit…
