Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid
Causal claim
“Earlier today I wrote about how vibe coding seemed to be losing steam, with usage declining, quite likely because people are growing disenchanted with the results.”
Our reading: The decline in vibe coding usage is quite likely because people are growing disenchanted with the results.
No horizon
Assessment: UnresolvedSaid
Conditional forecast
“If and when the whole generative AI edifice comes crashing down, it will be in no small part because too many otherwise smart investors read too many graphs—from “LLM scaling” to usage statistics—too naively, assuming that things had been going up for a while would continue to go up at the same pace, indefinitely.”
Our reading: If generative AI collapses, a large part of the cause will be investors naively extrapolating scaling and usage trends.

Held from this post (3)
These records did not pass every check, so nothing about them is published. Held is not a finding.
- Attribution is uncertain
- The criteria are ambiguous. Our reading, not assessed: Vibe coding appears to be losing steam, with usage declining.
- The record does not meet the current rules. Our reading, not assessed: Marcus would bet a lot of money that OpenAI's Sora 2-driven competitor to TikTok will go through a rise and fall similar to the one he describes for the products earlier in the post.
