You should never, to the best of your ability, download and/or install anything on your computer, phone, etc., that was coded using generative AI. I don't even have to touch on the moral reasons because it is, point blank, actually dangerous.
Your electronic devices are just millions of lines of code with a fancy interface, and every time you download and install something, you're trusting that whoever programmed it, 1) knew what they were doing and, 2) is acting without malicious intent.
Something wrong with GShade or ReShade could wreck your GPU. A bad update to a video game could trigger a memory leak with potentially devastating consequences. Data being stored in the wrong format is just waiting to be stolen. Tons of people are right now being listened to or watched via their webcams because of exploits.
And this is with people who KNOW what they're doing. It's part of why historically it was so important to install security updates as they rolled out.
It's also part of why, in my opinion, more so than anything else in the AI slop realm, gen AI-based vibes "coding" is the most despicable because it puts so many people's very expensive computers and very exploitable data at risk. The person generating the code doesn't actually know what the code is doing or how to fix it, and these programs get bloated quickly because any attempt to fix bugs usually just results in Claude or Grok or w/e just generating more code to slap on top of what's already there, frequently leaving the "bad" code intact.
LLMs are also... just kind of dumb? and capable of being "poisoned." Like it's possible to "break" ChatGPT by asking it to show a seahorse emoji because someone on Reddit was convinced it existed in a parallel universe. Imagine what could wind up in published code because of such hallucinations or because someone poisoned the well.
In small hobby spaces, part of why so many people publish directly to github is because it allows their code to be audited by the community. Others who know what they're looking at can come in and verify the code does what the publisher says it does and question if anything looks strange. The end result is that it helps keep the community as a whole safer.
Untested, vibes "coded" programs tossed willy nilly into the ether are dangerous, end of story. Seemingly simple and harmless programs can actually do massive damage though malice or incompetence.
Even if it is from a trusted member of the community, the act of publishing something that you don't actually know and cannot verify what it does is blatantly irresponsible and puts everyone who downloads it at risk.
Again, I'm not here to argue the morality of gen AI, because everyone has been talking in circles about it for literally years now.
But purely from a cyber security perspective: you should never, under any circumstances, download and run a program that is not verified to work the way the publisher claims it should, and anything coded with gen Ai is going to be fundamentally more suspicious by it's very nature.
And I really need to emphasize that I do no think that the majority of vibes "coding" is being done in bad faith. I don't think anyone is trying to damage computers or open anyone up to security vulnerabilities.
But if you cannot parse the code yourself--and I certainly can't, so I'm not judging anyone else who can't--when you download and run the programs, you are putting so much faith in whoever published it that, in the case of vibes "coded" nonsense, they genuinely do not deserve.
been so busy with work lately I barely have time to sit down and play the sims 2 and I just found out theres a sims 2 version of Barnacle Bay.
I really really want to do rotational gameplay of it now lol.
ik pride is all ppl think of when june hits but i also wanna say HAPPY CARIBBEAN AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH BITCHES ‼️‼️‼️
ts2 community has been taking some crazy hits lately…anyway, happy pride month
Garden of Shadows: a preservation effort
Like many of us, I grew up with Garden of Shadows. To me, it was more than just a forum. It was a place I could ask for help, learn new skills and, best of all, find amazing content in any style I could possibly want. I loved the board names, the people, the themes; everything, really.
And I admit I was more than a little heartbroken to find it gone.
After mulling it over, I decided that I wanted to preserve what I possibly could. I spent a few hours yesterday running through strategies and ideas about how to best go about it, and the best I could come up with was, well, exactly the same.
So, here it is: the Garden of Shadows mirror forum.
I've only just started, but I hope to add a little bit to it every day. The primary focus will be on preserving all the knowledge and custom content. I'm tackling it myself, but if you feel so inclined, you're more than welcome to join in.

PS. I am not here to offend, break Terms of Use, or to step on any toes. This is simply an effort to preserve content and knowledge for a game I have played and loved for over twenty years. Thank you ♥
Started a new casual playthrough of Strangetown to get me back in the mood for Sims 2.
Love that Lazlo is holding Tycho while Pascal seems unbothered to hold Lazlo’s baby
Currently ranking Sims 2 male premades on their ability to seduce Leonardo Da Vinci if given the chance
I seriously need to remind myself heavily to physically take screenshots more often because I didn’t document the horror show thats happening in my one sim household where risky woohoo keeps getting this poor guy pregnant and now he and his boyfriend have 4 kids despite just graduating college
My external hard drive got dropped on accident so now I have to redownload Sims 2 and have a laundry list of stuff I need to redownload with it so it can work the way I want it to… sigh
Live Skaniel birth happened yesterday, introducing Fox Broke-Pleasant to the Achillean Isles
sucker punching the idea of Dustin Broke with dark roots because he forgot to buy a bleach hair kit from sim version of Dollar General
rebranding myself so fast yet again like sorry but Skip Broke swag is forever
I love having an active imagination because then I get to create Skip/Daniel from absolutely nothing at all.
i feel like I have cheated the system somehow
fun fact: when slow dancing with a professor as a YA, you can still ask for tutoring, alongside the usual smooch, head on shoulder, and lower hands.
and its the same for woohoo too!
