Did you watch the video that was posted? He literally says 41 seconds in - "[vibe coding is a] naive toytown approach to programming"

EDIT: digital cameras didnt work, until it did. streaming didnt work, until it did. ecommerce didnt work, until it did.

I feel like there's a bit of survivorship bias here. Not saying that vibe coding is completely useless, but you still have to review the code it produces in order to make the most of it really. It isn't completely autonomous (yet) to the point where it can scale to any of the examples you mentioned imo.

Am I insane for being somewhat in favour of this? I think the accessibility of adult content on the internet is a disaster.

In principle, not at all. But there is no way to do this properly at all. No matter how secure the companies that do this say it is, it's another possible vulnerability.

You can't play whack a mole with the internet. People will always find a way to move smut or whatever on the internet. It takes no time at all to spin up more and more sites, and there's a million ways around them (vpns, etc).

All it does it just push people to more and more fringe sites, when moderation is likely to be lax and the content more extreme. Ideally it wouldn't be viewed at all, but it's just how the internet is.

It also sets a terrible precedent for censorship- in the UK, we've already seen, on Reddit for example, subreddits dedicated to quitting addictions being age gated, and it'll only get worse.
