Research for non-researchers in the vibe coding era #ai #quote #vibe

Vibe Research

“vibe research”. Like “vibe coding”, it’s performing a difficult technical task by relying on the model. I have a broad intuitive sense of what approaches are being tried, but I definitely don’t have a deep enough understanding to do this research unassisted. A real AI researcher would get a lot more out of the tool.

The basic loop of doing AI research with Codex (at least as an enthusiastic amateur) looks something like this:

  1. Codex makes a change to the training script and does three or four runs (this takes ~20 minutes overall)
  2. Based on the results, Codex suggests two or three things that you could try next
  3. I pick one of them (or very occasionally suggest my own idea) and return to (1).
