Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, is doing something unexpected for one of the biggest names in tech: casually building web apps with AI coding assistants.

"I wish I could do more," Pichai said on Wednesday at Bloomberg Tech in San Francisco.

"I've just been messing around — either with Cursor or I vibe coded with Replit — trying to build a custom webpage with all the sources of information I wanted in one place. I could type a location and get it all," Pichai said.

We don't even need complex AI to replace CEOs

One ruby script can easily:

  • Lie to the public
  • Tell shareholders to buy more stock
  • Shift blame when a product horrifically disfigures someone
  • Lobby Congress
  • Lay off thousands of employees and take a fat bonus

That last one is why, have you ever tried getting a bank account in the name of a script?
