this company is something else

https://semgrep.dev/solutions/secure-vibe-coding/

if software development is turning into their demo:

   - does this code I've written have any vulnerabilities?
   - also what does the code do
then I'm switching careers to subsistence farming and waiting for the collapse

With all due respect to subsistence farming, I would say that digital tech is already sufficiently "bootstrapped", such that even if the world's industrial base entirely collapses, and we don't have any more chips fabricated, the next century will still be about who can best utilize computers, scrounging up discarded phones and repurposing them to (re)automate farming, manufacturing and drone warfare. Even LLM-based AIs are already entrenched, and I'd expect people to be running ollama and aider/void on solar powered laptops in their tribe's half-destroyed buildings.

The amount of offline documentation required to do so is gargantuan. Try any kind of "repurposing" of any phone -- go for something trivial, not as hard as controlling an automated greenhouse circuit -- and try to do so without the internet -- or let's take the difficulty down a notch, without AI or search engines, wikipedia allowed. The operating system on that phone is likely way too complicated for you to succeed. It's also likely to be locked.

I have Ollama running on my local PC with 128GBs of RAM. If civilization collapses will my tribe be better off compared to a tribe that doesn't have a similar system running on solar power? I would think so. And if we have a local copy of Wikipedia (25GBs compressed, 150GBs uncompressed & with basic images), then we'd be infinitely better off.

My PC isn't anything special and is made of commodity parts.

The tribe members do not have to run ollama on their phones. My PC could be the server that they connect to over tribe wifi.

Capabilities of commodity PCs continue to grow every year. This appears to make a complete civilization collapse near impossible. As long as some of us survive the initial catastrophic event, and the planet can sustain human life, humanity will not be starting from scratch and will bounce back.

I guess you could settle the question by trying it!
