Vibe coders are so insistence that the rest of us adopt their shitting tooling because they need other people coding slop too to justify their lack of effort.
If programmers keep up good coding practices then the vibe coders are the ones left behind
Such a dystopian nightmare we live in now. The US is cutting our actual healthcare services to subsidize this shit so billionaires can become trillionares while the rest of us suffer
A part time minimum wage worker can't code
Check the wages of coders outside of the US
So the rosy biased estimate is OpenAI is saving 1 hour of work per day, so 5 hours total per-work week and 20 hours total per-month.
With a subsidized cost of $200/month for OpenAI it would be cheaper to hirer a part-time minimum wage worker than it would be to contract with OpenAI.
And that is the rosiest estimate OpenAI has.
It you take of the rosy glasses, it is more like 10 hours saved per-month at an unsubsidized cost of $1000/month
The $100/hr is worth it for US programming jobs, but nothing else

Ug, this bill is all about preventing regulation of multinational corporations, it has nothing to do with the right for individuals to compute anything.
