• Google CEO Sundar Pichai said he is building a custom web page using AI coding assistants Cursor and Replit, describing the process as “delightful” and affirming that engineers remain essential.
• Amazon is reportedly in negotiations to roll out the AI coding tool Cursor to its workforce, extending the trend of major firms adopting vibe coding.
• Nontechnical users have leveraged vibe coding to create applications—from a dog identification app to newsroom bots at Semafor—without writing traditional code.
• Industry leaders caution that unreviewed AI-generated code risks security flaws and poorly constructed software if human oversight is insufficient.
• Experts warn that vibe coding could upend traditional economics of scale by making bespoke software development cheaper and accessible to millions beyond professional engineers.
