Tim Cook's final appearance in an Apple keynote, so of course he went out with style and flair! Just kidding. It was so-o-o-o boring. 😴 Unfortunately, so was most of the rest of the WWDC26 announcements—that is, when they weren't absolutely enraging. A deepfake generator of your friends? Really Apple? This is what your legendary focus on UX has come to in the twilight of Cook's tenure? A Siri which is totally willing to glaze students with "It sounds great!" pablum? Really?? Steve Jobs is rolling over in his grave right now. But hey…at least we finally got our "Snow Leopard" OS release cycle. That's something! 😂

Hype—any hype, but in this instance tech hype—only works because humans are fallible. We fall prey to quirks of the mind, real-world hacks which dilute our rational thinking and cause us to sink into a mire cynically crafted for us by bad actors who are more than willing to manipulate and trick others for their own gain. In this episode, I will explain to you some of these mind games: the heuristics, biases, and fallacies which are difficult for us to escape…even when we're being thoughtful and critical ourselves. Guard yourselves against endless capitalist hype cycles by strengthening your mind! Oh, and in case this wasn't reason enough to tune in…The Amazing Criswell from Plan 9 from Outer Space makes an appearance. Because of course! He's one of the greatest hype men of all the ages!

It's a jungle out there. Disorder and confusion everywhere. No one seems to care. Well I do! Hey, who’s in charge here?
It may seem like I'm quoting from a famous Randy Newman song, and…OK yes, I am! 😂 But this is the world we live in. Having to deal with AI-pilled morons on the regular, feeling forced to leave improperly moderated communities overrun with slop, unfollowing slopologists, constantly having to seek out alternatives to Big Tech…and then getting yelled at for picking the “wrong” alternative…whew, it's a lot. How do we cope? That is the topic of the hour.

Marketing has taken over product design. Usability used to mean something. Now software is becoming less "human", a symptom of a wider business culture sucking up to AI companies because of far too much capital flooding the markets. But it doesn't have to be this way. Join us for a merry dialog on the hazards of A/B testing your way into a good product (spoiler alert! you can't!), asking the why about your data not simply the what, codemaxxing, flaming Teslas, and a whole lot more.

If you’re like a lot of folks now wondering if it’s even possible to build delightful, human-centric & humane SaaS products for the web anymore, Ellipsus is proof that yes it’s possible!
One of the great things about Ellipsus is they have been standing with writers and creators against the onslaught of generative AI and slop. And “Our Survey on Creativity, Writing, and Reading in the Age of AI” highlights just what their community is feeling but in a broader sense, how it’s possible to build new products & services around these sentiments. One does not need to become a slop peddler in order to find successful product/market fit.

In a phrase I never expected to utter: I wholeheartedly endorse the upcoming Chinese regulations! Yes, China is getting ready to crack down on so-called "digital humans", requiring proper labeling as such as well as forbidding any deepfakes based on real people without their informed consent. Many other restrictions are proposed as well, and in this episode I go through the details and explain how such regulations are sorely needed here in my country (the U.S.)—though I don't trust anything coming out of our current regime. We may have to wait for the political turnover, which is looking very likely!

Welcome back to the 2026 season kickoff of Vibe Coded! In this episode, I cover the phenomenon of how open source software projects are either fending off or embracing the onslaught of agentic coding services, and the ways in which the technology is splitting the F/LOSS community asunder. I just keep thinking, it didn't have to be this way. But here we are!

The state of play in late 2025 and my expectation that the bubble will burst in 2026. The “Agentic Age” did not materialize this year. Anti-AI activism is heating up…people are noping the f out of the Torment Nexus. Gen-Z and Gen Alpha are turning against the slop machines. That's AI! goes the new lingo. Microsoft's AI CEO is getting pummeled online and a post-Windows PC landscape looking increasingly likely. This and a whole lot more, right here on Vibe Coded.

The same tired, clichéd arguments keep coming up over and over again why we should all welcome our new robot overlords, so I'm here to knock 'em all down and push back systematically…but most importantly, make the case for the Pro-Craft Movement and how vital it is that we preserve and champion the historical & emotional components of Human Creativity.

I’ve talked in length about the ethical quandaries surrounding generative AI, from the industrial-scale theft of intellectual property to the ways it harms both the natural as well as digital environments due to its extractive nature. But I also want to talk about the aesthetics of the slop output we have to contend with now on a regular basis, and I don’t just mean the political side of it—I and many others have been sounding the alarm that genAI lines right up with aesthetics of fascism. Rather, I want to explore the relationship between the slop machines and true art forms, and why we just aren’t seeing anything meaningful and lasting being produced using these problematic technologies.

You're listening to the audio edition of my newsletter Cycles Hyped No More, right here on the Vibe Coded podcast.
In this issue I talk about The Truth 🫡 of Reliable Next-Generation 🔋 Green Energy Storage, because in case you're not aware, there is a concerted effort here in America to mislead the public when it comes to the topic of renewable energy. And rather than jump and wave our hands and scream CLIMATE CHANGE YOU FOOLS!, let's educate ourselves on the cutting-edge of storage solutions so we can…sound very smart at dinner parties. (And also, y'know, save the planet. Definitely that.)

In this episode I talk about mental health in the face of changing technology, epistemological truth claims, and the future of work. Evidence is mounting that engaging credulously with unskilled gaslighting algorithms which simulate intelligence but lack any real intelligence is a hazard to human flourishing. It's a matter of dignity. It's a matter of craft. It's a matter of truth.
And always remember, two toenails don't make a clipper! 😂 (Don't worry, I'll explain the meaning of this, thank Google!)

In this episode, I talk about this growing sense of dread that rather than genAI ushering in a glorious new age of superintelligence, it's actually manipulating us into believing this is happening all while making us way dumber…and in some cases, causing mental breaks from reality.
