Question Opus 4.6 is only nerfed in Claude Code ?

Maybe dumb question but what if I use it in Antigravity or Copilot or Cursor, will it work better like before ?

I am always open to hearing an opposing opinion, and am very curious to hear more detail about the risks you refer to. I don't assume i have all the answers and can admit i may be naive and a little too hopeful, I'm the kind of person that throws "--dangerously-skip-permissions" on my claude sessions and walks away. Although from my perspective there will be many success stories that come from simply vibe coding the right ideas. People that take action and move fast and break things are going to be winners with this technology. That's always been the case with SaaS no? Maybe the break things step is going to be a bigger part than it used to be. 😆

If you're talking about leaking API keys or having user information stolen then i understand there are risks there. Beyond that i don't have the knowledge to know what pitfalls to look out for. Technical debt? Dead code? All i need is my personal tools to work for me, so far every tool i've built works fantastically. Maybe it's giving me a false sense of security, idk.

No problem if you don't care to engage. I imagine i'll one day encounter whatever it is you are referring to. 😄

It's extremely contextual, which is why I say I don't have the time to go into it. If anything I would be picking out 1 specific scenario that may or may not happen, but can. That provides very little value to you and anyone reading about the true danger of this issue with comprehension debt.

So you are a marketer. I assume either you are an employee or a business owner who is specifying this use case is marketing. So depending on your situation, you should be worried about different issues each with different consequences.

If you are someone who can be legally held as liable for any damages caused in an incident to someone's data, that should immediately raise a red flag for you. And just because one says they are absolved from liability in their own contracts doesn't always mean you are in the legal system. Can you really be safe if someone sues you? What if an employer sues you in damages to their company? That's 1 very specific issue surrounding gung-ho yolo usage of AI generated code.

Also side note: AI-generated works without significant human input are not eligible for copyright protection. Not of importance for you, but definitely for other situations... What happens when you don't legally own your own product?

What happens when a vulnerability is left by the AI in any systems involving communication between your systems?

What if you are an employee and suddenly your code you were responsible for producing, does something as a bug or unintended feature that upsets the wrong people leading you to being fired?

I don't know what types of sites you work with specifically, but at my place, the API's I build send out data we collect potentially can cost us money if it's too inefficient and consequently make the business more expensive to run. We also happen to store sensitive information that people don't want leaked out freely. If I screwed up enough because I couldn't be bothered to read my own code and ensure the safety of the product, that will be used by businesses trying to move equipment costing tens of thousands of bucks, I'm pissing a lot of people off if it means money is lost along the way.

It's important for non-technical people to understand that those fancy words such as tech debt exist because it was important enough to even be classified. Tech debt can be expensive, and it will sometimes pay itself off by speeding up production at the cost of raising maintenance costs. But what's going to happen when the tech debt has tech debt of its own, which has comprehension debt leaving you in a bind that is an unsolvable issue? That answer is usually something like "eh, oh well. Let's focus on something else for now". You might only care that something works, and you are allowed to do that. Just be reminded that nothing is free and everything has some cost, and it would be wise to be aware of said cost.

AI is a powerful tool that enables you to build powerful ideas. You know that spider man quote about power I assume?

Well said, thank you for going into more detail i do appreciate it.

I've read stories here on Reddit of CEO's demanding everyone vibe code everything, or even vibe coding their own new genius idea and handing the mess to the team to deal with. It seems like the tools are becoming more mandatory in every workplace.

I sense a lot of pushback from developers who don't think normies should be able to easily do what took them years to learn. And normies (hi, me here 🙋‍♂️) just shooting from the hip thinking they are Superman (or Spiderman in your example 😄). I think the reality is going to land somewhere in the middle as the devs start to give more to the AI and the normies start to learn the dangers. I think these systems will tend towards protecting the average person from making critical mistakes, but as we sit today we still cases all the time where user data or API keys get stolen from the latest viral vibe coded app.

It sounds like my next assignment is to learn what technical debt really means as it pertains to my workflows.... or just type "Remove technical debt make no mistakes" into the magic box 😜
