If vibe coding worked why would anyone hire AI engineers?
Publishers in 2024: "AI is awesome. Readers will love gobbling up botspew. We can fire the whole writing staff. We'll get rich!"
Publishers in 2025: "Turns out AI can generate the same botspew right in search. We have no traffic. We're shutting down."

The harmonics of the engine of the universe have not yet been fully measured, but we hear them in the songs of all children. Even the grown-up ones.

Treat yourself to a few minutes about games, learning, trying new things... There's something in this charming clip for everyone.
