Marcello and Symon vibe-cast through the collapse of several industries while remaining oddly optimistic. The duo opens by confronting the death of human music via Suno AI (RIP popular music), before diving into the Financial Times' report on "Google Zero" - the race to zero organic traffic as AI search cannibalizes the entire internet. Marcello shares Ethereum's shocking discovery of user experience (only took them until 2026), promising to cut transaction times from a leisurely 19-minute coffee break to 15 seconds. Simon counters with MIT data showing 95% of enterprise AI projects are failing spectacularly, though mostly because nobody knows how to measure "vibes improved by ChatGPT." The conversation peaks with the Pentagon Pizza Index - a real website tracking Domino's deliveries to predict global crises - which somehow connects to Polymarket, where $56 million is currently riding on Federal Reserve decisions and Bad Bunny vs. Taylor Swift supremacy. They close with a requiem for the term "MVP," which has apparently lost all meaning in the wild, suggesting we just accept that proof-of-concepts are the new MVPs and MVPs are now just... the entire product. Also discussed: AI scrapers destroying websites, why UX designers should just call themselves web designers, and Marcello's shocking exit from the Ethereum game.
