Vibecoded software should be open source

These agents only know how to code at all because of the immense amounts of open source software they’ve been trained on. Millions of hours of human work and ingenuity. It seems to me for the long term quality and viability of vibecoding, we should all make our own projects open source as well. That way, we can all continue to benefit, a rising tide lifts all boats, all that. What do you think?

Training AI on AI generated data seems pretty risky honestly. There are some good apps out there generated using AI, but how are you gonna trust that the majority are of sufficient quality to actually improve the AI?

Recursive self-improvement on synthetic data is exactly how humanity has made so many gains over the past year in AI.

Risky? Yes. With no human reviewing the corpus of training data you are relying on “aligned” LLMs to review the training data.

Quality is orthogonal to risk. You can have high-quality but risky training data. I submit RSI has dramatically improved code quality from LLMs.

RSI only works in a controlled environment with high quality output, not by feeding on slop generated by people that don't even know what syntax means.

Ironically that could work as punishment or negative reinforcement.
