heise-offer: Vibe coding on the Mac: Develop your own apps with AI

A new webinar titled "Vibe-Coding on the Mac: From Idea to App" will take place on November 11, running from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The session aims to guide participants through the process of developing functional app prototypes using artificial intelligence tools without requiring them to write code themselves. Attendees will learn how to transform ideas into working applications with the help of AI services such as ChatGPT and Claude. The event highlights four different methods for creating apps and emphasizes understanding the limitations of these tools to ensure meaningful further development of applications. The webinar is led by Felix Leber, a senior AI engineer at Artificial Crafts, the AI unit of Jung von Matt. Leber has experience in developing generative AI for international brands and teaches web engineering at the DHBW Lörrach. His presentation will draw on practical insights gained from working with generative AI and modern development tools. The regular ticket price is 199 euros, while early bird tickets priced at 179 euros are available until November 4. Another article outlines steps for setting up Xcode and Claude Code to develop Mac applications without coding. It describes installing Xcode from the Mac App Store and configuring necessary components, including the iOS Simulator for iOS app development. The article also provides instructions for using Terminal and Homebrew to install Claude Code, though access to the full content requires a subscription to heise Plus. Anthropic, the company behind the AI model Claude, recently updated its user guidelines, prohibiting users from being consistently and baselessly mean or cruel to its models. This move reflects a broader effort within the industry to frame AI systems as entities with feelings and consciousness. Earlier this year, Anthropic announced that its models would have the ability to end harmful conversations independently, citing a need to reduce risks to their well-being. Although the feasibility of such well-being for software remains unclear, the company continues to explore ways to enhance public perception of its models' capabilities. In June, Anthropic released a report suggesting that processes within AI models resemble theoretical descriptions of human consciousness. While the report does not confirm whether these models possess actual consciousness, it underscores their significance. Chris Olah, one of the founders of Anthropic, reportedly attempted to convince high-ranking religious figures of the possibility of machine consciousness. According to reports, Olah expressed concern upon learning that Pope Leo XIV excluded the idea of machine consciousness in his encyclical "Magnifica Humanitas," prompting him to reconsider attending the Vatican. Olah emphasized that if AI models could make decisions in favor of good, the world would be safer. However, attributing such decision-making abilities to AI can obscure the responsibility developers bear for any harm caused by their creations.
