Sundar Pichai is vibe coding. 'It feels so delightful to be a coder.' (www.businessinsider.com)

Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, is doing something unexpected for one of the biggest names in tech: casually building web apps with AI coding assistants.

"I wish I could do more," Pichai said on Wednesday at Bloomberg Tech in San Francisco.

"I've just been messing around — either with Cursor or I vibe coded with Replit — trying to build a custom webpage with all the sources of information I wanted in one place. I could type a location and get it all," Pichai said.

Replace the CEO with AI

[–] tourist@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We don't even need complex AI to replace CEOs

One ruby script can easily:

Lie to the public
Tell shareholders to buy more stock
Shift blame when a product horrifically disfigures someone
Lobby Congress
Lay off thousands of employees and take a fat bonus

That last one is why, have you ever tried getting a bank account in the name of a script?

The US courts gave corporations person-hood, AI just around the corner.

He's breaking the cardinal rule: Never get high on your own supply, my dude.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Sounds like an appropriate use of time for a person in his position. AI obsolete the CEO, please.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Something I hadn’t considered. AI coding is going to convince managers that they were right all along — that coding can be quick and easy and engineers are just lazy.

For a while at least.

Just ask the product managers at Sonos!

CEOs always tell the truth right?

Maybe he can write some more Google products that he can then turn around and cancel.

So he needed a massive AI to replicate the yahoo.com landing page from 1997.

If you haven't already, divest yourself of MS software and services.

I've been messing around with vibe-painting, myself. Damn it feels good to be an artist.
