NOT ALL AI-ASSISTED PROGRAMMING IS VIBE CODING (BUT VIBE CODING ROCKS)

Vibe coding is building software with a large language model without reviewing the code it writes. Making an AI write code, then reviewing that code and testing it thoroughly is not vibe coding - that's just software development. Vibe coding could grant millions of new people the ability to build their own custom tools. It also has a ton to offer experienced developers - it can help them build an intuition as to what AI can and cannot do for them.

ELON MUSK IS JOINING MICROSOFT IN $30 BILLION DATA CENTER PROJECT

Microsoft, BlackRock, and MGX are partnering with xAI on a $30 billion project to develop data centers and other infrastructure. The details of the new deal are unclear.

The pushback from employees seems to stem from both fear of being replaced by AI and AI tools not being suited for work.
