The tech world’s favorite new hobby is under fire from the fruit giant. Apple has started a brutal purge of vibe coding apps like Replit and Anything from the App Store. These apps allow stylish non-experts to build software just by describing the vibe of what they want. Apple claims these tools violate strict rules about executing code on devices. It is a total disaster for the new wave of chic creators who thought they could bypass the smelly engineering class forever.

Security nerds are celebrating the ban with a lot of told you so energy. Researchers at Georgia Tech say AI-generated code is a hacker’s dream. They are warning about a new threat called slopsquatting where attackers fill code repositories with malicious packages that AI models hallucinate. It is like finding out your new designer handbag is actually stuffed with digital explosives.

Top officials at Anthropic and OpenAI are privately warning that their newest models are scary good at hacking. They say a large scale attack could hit as early as this year. While the elite were busy vibe coding their way to billionaire status they forgot to lock the front door. Now a massive cybersecurity supercycle is beginning as companies spend billions to clean up the mess. It is the digital equivalent of hiring a fleet of janitors to scrub a very expensive nightclub after a wild party.
