  • Cursor AI refuses to write code for a user

    https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/14/ai-coding-assistant-cursor-reportedly-tells-a-vibe-coder-to-write-his-own-d**n-code/

    Cursor’s refusal also sounded an awful lot like the replies newbie coders could get when asking questions on programming forum Stack Overflow

    @phenomlab I attempted to go to this article and got the 404 error. I find that interesting that AI refused to write code. Especially when AI is made to do what you ask it.

    And so, it starts. One of the first Robots “employed” by Mercedes-Benz to assemble engine parts.

    The 5’8" tall robot performed the first public demonstration in a real-world setting of a real-world task - in this case assembling an engine part - entirely autonomously.

    The costs of small, lightweight components have fallen as artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and computer vision technology have led to rapid advances in the field of robots that can emulate human movement and tasks.

    @phenomlab that is crazy. And so Cyberdyne begins. Once the world is populated with enough robots, it will take them over and start making Terminators after it nukes the world.

    @phenomlab Lets spy on everyone’s email in the name of cybersecurity and suspician. Lets not leave the users responsible to not click on stuff they shouldn’t or to have the proper measures setup on their own devices. And technically isn’t every email potentially suspicious? Wow!

    @phenomlab oh wow, I would be pissed too and would want to sue. I would think that Meta would need to pay some sort of royalties or something for every piece of literature it used to train it’s AI and then anytime the AI references that literature then royalties would need to be paid. That is crazy and I don’t believe they should get away with doing that.

    Unless I am missing something here, but it seemed pretty straight forward.

    @Madchatthew To me, it appears as though Meta considers itself “entitled” to take whatever it wants for free. Not how it works in this world, and it’s a liberty to say the least. Content creators have every right to be up in arms about this.

    OpenAI is suing Elon Musk over claims he has tried “nonstop” to slow down its business for his own benefit.

    The company accuses the Tesla boss of using “bad-faith tactics” against OpenAI to help him control cutting-edge AI technology.

    @phenomlab this is interesting. There are a lot of artists that are refusing to use and hate AI due to it stealing some of their works and dubbing it as it’s own. The only reason I know this is because my daughter loves art and some of the youtube creators we let her watch talk about this. I do like the quote that they use in the article. You can usually pickup on the feelings and passion when someone writes something and while AI may be able to write something in the same format and wording you might write something, the heart and passion isn’t going to be in it.

    @Madchatthew yes, I think this is where AI falls short as it’s unable to convey emotion. Much in the same manner as a poorly worded email or text message does the same in the sense that it can easily be misconstrued owing to the recipient not being able to determine tone for example - this obviously isn’t transmitted with only words, and therefore, the recipient has to try and determine how the message sound be interpreted - which is, in most cases, wrong.

    Most musicians have a trademark style of playing (for example, guitar), and it’s impassible for this to be truly replicated by AI. A human playing the same instrument could play the same melody multiple times and it would be different on each occasion.

    @phenomlab I totally agree with you

    @phenomlab you know if you or I were to copy their music, we would for sure get sued for a lot of money and to cease and desist. Maybe that is what they need to do for AI and those companies that are running those AIs. Ultimately, those companies have to be feeding their AI some of that data and such in one way or another, so they should be held responsible. Or if they want to use that data, then they should need to pay royalties or something every time that set of data is accessed by someone using their AI.

    @Madchatthew good points. However, I suspect that this data is being crawled anonymously, so in this case, I do wonder how enforceable a cease and desist would be.

    I’ve been using this service for a couple of days now, and it’s made my internet access so much faster. That alone is a plus, and I never thought there would be a contender for Cloudflare in this area.

    Here is an update. So one of the problems is that I was coding on windows - duh right? Windows was changing one of the forward slashes into a backslash when it got to the files folder where the image was being held. So I then booted up my virtualbox instance of ubuntu server and set it up on there. And will wonders never cease - it worked. The other thing was is that there are more than one spot to grab the templates. I was grabbing the template from the widget when I should have been grabbing it from the other templates folder and grabbing the code from the actual theme for the plugin. If any of that makes sense. I was able to set it up so it will go to mydomain/blog and I don’t have to forward it to the user/username/blog. Now I am in the process of styling it to the way I want it to look. I wish that there was a way to use a new version of bootstrap. There are so many more new options. I suppose I could install the newer version or add the cdn in the header, but I don’t want it to cause conflicts. Bootstrap 3 is a little lacking. I believe that v2 of nodebb uses a new version of bootstrap or they have made it so you can use any framework that you want for styling. I would have to double check though. Thanks for your help @phenomlab! I really appreciate it. I am sure I will have more questions so never fear I won’t be going away . . . ever, hahaha. Thanks again!
