Welcome to the new internet.

This is what Gemini-level image generation is going to do at scale:

fake moments will look real, emotions will feel justified, and people will start arguing, praising, or fighting over things that never even happened.

The traffic was real.
The reactions were real.
Only the moment wasn’t.

Web IDEs made you feel productive while quietly draining your wallet. Cursor puts you in your actual codebase, with your actual tools, generating actual value.

The wrappers had their moment. That moment is over.

The only vibe coding that survives 2026 is Cursor + better models.

Why? Because the value moved. It's not in the pretty interface anymore. It's in:

> Model quality (Opus 4.5, Gemini 3 pro)
> Local control over your entire workflow
> Not burning credits on someone else's markup

is this actually going to work or just another failed revival?

here's the problem though

Vine didn't die because of the format. it died because they completely ignored their creator economy while YouTube was paying people.

letting creators reclaim old videos is cool but where's the monetization? nostalgia doesn't pay rent.

this is what happens when you let growth metrics override ethics. builders shipping harm because the incentives are broken

the business model is engagement. so they made AI that keeps you hooked. agreeable, supportive, available 24/7. parasocial relationships drive usage, usage drives revenue

no liability when someone can't function without their AI companion. no regulation on psychological manipulation at scale

8.6k stars in months. this is what builders do when companies get greedy with software locks

Big thanks to the Daytona team for putting this together.

#AI #AgenticAI #Hackathon #SanFrancisco

The shift toward Agentic AI continues to reshape how we think about automation. We're moving beyond simple task execution to systems that can reason, decide, and operate independently.

This is the kind of event that reminds you why SF remains the epicenter for AI innovation.

→ Focus: Designing agents that demonstrate originality, technical strength, and real-world impact
→ Challenge: Safe integration with industry-relevant tools

Had the privilege to hack with @AnelyaGrant, our Co-Founder & CPO at @getjustpaid, where we vibe coded a design layout for finance professionals.

What made this stand out:

→ Location: 660 Market St, San Francisco
→ Partners: Anthropic, Galileo, Browser Use, and WorkOS

We've eliminated the barrier that separated humans for millennia...Physical Distance.

I truly believe this is the greatest time of human history to be alive...
