what’s referencing this?
The image is from Invincible.
I think the point of the meme is that vibe coders are right-wing extremists or something like that.
Def misread it on first pass. Thanks for straightening me out.
Yeah, OP did not do a good job with this one.
A lot of them yes, though there are exceptions. You can find the odd “neurospicy” trans person using AI, though most are instead cis neurotypical people, most of which suddenly become less empathetic towards others the moment they start using genAI.
You sound like you have empirical evidence.
Search up Brian Lunduke and his fans.
That might prove right wing vibecoders exist, but not that they’re a majority.
Also, because of demographics, most people in pretty much any group will be cisgender and neurotypical.
Ok, I can prove that at least one right-wing extremist drinks water. Thus everyone drinking water is a right-wing extremist.
It’s the same level of logic.
At this point we aren’t even talking about fallacies, but rather about the utter absence of any kind of logic reasoning.
Nobody finds this to be very funny. Next time, maybe don’t bring up eugenics in programmer humour?
lol theres no eugenics in the meme. Mentioning a ‘shredded aryan’ is NOT eugenics and not even an affirmation of that view. Its quite clearly framed as the out of touch expectation of the nazi, therefore, actually implying that the notion of a shredded aryan coder is: unlikely. So, the opposite of what you are acusing it of.
tldr: youre misintepreting the meme.
What? Where is eugenics mentioned in the meme?
I’m genuinely curious, I see no reference to selective breeding in here.
Straight up I’m not even being deliberately dense, where’s the eugenics?
The association of “Aryan” Germans with being shredded and people who are trans, autistic, etc. being positioned as the opposite. Eugenics is the idea that some people are genetically “superior” to others, making “Aryan” babies was a big part of it, but that’s the main idea being referenced.
As somebody who is autistic myself, it doesn’t feel right as a “joke”. Yes, it paints people who believe in that sort of thing like idiots, because they are, but this is programmer humour, jokes should be about programming things! Off-topic and generally unfunny in my opinion.
I would say vibe-coding is on topic for programming humor.
Most of the other bits about “shredded Aryan Germans” and all that isn’t though, and is the main topic of the “joke”.
Sorry mate I think you may have missed the joke?
I wouldn’t say ripped Aryan men is the “main topic” of the joke. The subject of the joke is very clearly the “who cares how it was coded” crowd (referencing those permissive of LLMs). Along with the implication that their “idea” of an ideal human is counter to the fact that many of the best technical professionals (whome they could only aspire to imitate) are often, distinctly, not aligned with that perceived ideal.
See, humor is all about the juxtaposition of novel subjects.
It just doesn’t fit with everything else in the community, in my opinion. I’m here for nerdy jokes, harmless laughs, and occasionally poking fun at vibe coders too.
But again, I don’t like how autistic, trans, etc. people are positioned as the “opposite” of a “shredded Aryan German”, particularly as an autistic person myself. Maybe don’t have that in a programming humour community, you know? Just my thoughts though
I’m diagnosed ASD myself. A lot of us on Lemmy are most likely.
I think where I’m getting confused is where we’re taking issue with distinguishing “autistic transgender puppygirl” and “shredded Aryan German guy”. Those are distinctly, visually, very different things. In order for the joke to land the reader needs to be able to distinguish the contents of the juxtaposition.
I don’t think this joke would have landed if the dichotomy being drawn was between “one perfectly valid human being” and “another perfectly valid human being, who has problematic views on the states relationship with the body-politic.”
You could remove the reference to autism I suppose but, again, the joke is in the fact that the vibe-coding chud is angry that they are mogged by what they perceive as ‘lesser’. For that to work you need to create some homunculus that will represent that person.
I find this funny.
Just because the German is shredded and aryan doesn’t mean he’s far-right
The word aryan is used in a way to increase the punchline of the joke and is a symbol for a vibecode Bro.
The implication is not that the German is far-right, but the “who cares how it’s coded” guy
You are right. It’s still a meme which uses the image of a buff guy who wouldnt code without ai.
I guess most lemmings who code are not a buff guy but the trans-puppy.
Else I don’t understand another angle why some people are offended or otherwise downvote this
Vibecoders whose feelings are hurt?
I wonder if its a symptom of the fact that vibecoding is just not cool.
