Hay una cultura tóxica que está saliendo de la industria de la IA y que intenta constantemente que dejemos de pensar.
El mensaje está por todos lados. No leas el código, simplemente hacé vibe-coding. No intentes entender todo el texto, dejá que la IA te lo resuma. No te molestes en educarte, ya es demasiado tarde.
No te preocupes por los errores. Confiá en que todo se va a arreglar en la próxima versión.
El tema es siempre el mismo: no pienses demasiado. Solo seguí tragando bazofia.

There's a toxic culture coming out of the AI industry that keeps trying to get us not to think.
The message is everywhere. Don’t read the code, just vibe-code. Don’t try to understand all the text, just let AI summarize it. Don’t bother educating yourself, it’s too late.
Don’t worry about the errors. Trust that everything will be fixed in the next version.
The theme is the same. Don’t think too hard. Just keep swallowing the slop.

This gesture is widely recognized as a discreet way for someone to signal they need help, allowing victims to ask for assistance without drawing attention.
Be on the lookout!
