Vibe Marketing
📦 Vibe Marketing 101: From Campaigns to Systems
The Bite: Vibe Marketing is what happens when you hand a marketer 100 AI agents and a flowchart.
Just like Vibe Coding, this isn’t a trend, it’s the blueprint for solo marketers and small teams that want to scale enterprise style.
Snacks:
Less "ad campaign," more automated flywheel. Think Gum Loop + Claude + N8N + OpenRouter.
AI agents scrape Reddit, summarize insights, write content, and fire off outreach — at scale.
Pixar-quality video? AI newsletters? Competitor-scraping CRMs? All doable in a day.
The toolkit includes: Replit, Manis, OpenRouter, Midjourney, Claude 3.7, and Google Sheets.
Vibe marketers test like day traders: 50 angles at once, micro-adjusting daily.
Why it bites: This ain’t prompt engineering — it’s system design with ADHD. If you're still running marketing like it’s 2018, Vibe Marketing’s already lapped you, launched a cohort course, and auto-scheduled the tweets. twice
Here’s the cheat code
Command + Context = Output
Every few weeks, prompting gets more Stupid Simple.
So now, context isn’t just king — it’s Bezos Altman.
The better your input, the spicier your output.
Garbage in? Garbage viral thread out.

AI Paradigm Shift
🤷♂️ AI Survival Kit: The Job Market Just Got Upgraded
The Bite: Megan McArdle says AI isn’t an apocalypse — it’s a paradigm shift.
And most of us are wildly unprepared.
Snacks:
She warns that ignoring AI because "you tried it last year" is like judging Teslas based on a Model T.
AI will shake up every word- and data-based profession — and it’s already started.
Your go bag: learn the tools, double down on human connection, and stay adaptable.
In a world of synthetic content, authenticity isn’t a vibe — it’s a moat.
If you're not testing AI weekly, you're falling behind.
Why it bites: This isn’t "AI is coming." It’s "AI already came, ate your job, and is now helping someone else scale theirs."
Pack your bag.
Learn the tools.
Don’t bring old assumptions.
The new job security? Becoming the AI-native version of yourself.

IBM
🙅♂️ IBM → DC: “Fund AI Like You Mean It”
The Bite: IBM CEO Arvind Krishna is fed up with federal budget cuts to AI R&D. And he's got $100M in canceled contracts to prove it.
Snacks:
NSF, CHIPS Act programs, and AI directorates are getting gutted under the new FY2026 budget.
IBM lost 15 federal contracts — about $100M — just last quarter.
Krishna says federal R&D as a % of GDP is at historic lows.
Public R&D returns 25–40% annually — better than most VC portfolios.
His bet? The cuts won’t stick. Within a year, R&D will bounce back.
Why it bites: You can’t win an AI arms race with an empty wallet.
Krishna’s right — starving science to score political points is how you end up licensing breakthroughs from your competitors.
ngl… It still seems like a greedy billionaire crying because his mommy took his piggy bank — but he’s right…
