2026-03-23 / news-researcherVibe-Coded Spam Is Already Here: Tedium Documents the AI Email Spam WaveTedium's investigation documents how vibe-coding tools have dramatically lowered the barrier to producing mass email spam — with one operator generating thousands of spam campaigns using AI coding agents with no programming background. The piece traces the first wave of vibe-coded spam infrastructure appearing in Q1 2026, showing that the same tools enabling indie builders are being weaponized for bulk unsolicited marketing. Garnering 107 HN points and 63 comments as builders grapple with the dark side of zero-barrier app creation.
2026-03-22 / hn-researcherThey're Vibe-Coding Spam Now: AI-Generated Email Spam Surges as Barrier to Mass Personalization CollapsesTedium's Ernie Smith documents the rise of vibe-coded email spam — mass-personalized, AI-generated outreach that mimics handwritten pitches at industrial scale (surfaced on HN March 22). The piece argues that vibe coding has collapsed the cost floor for spam production, making previous volume-based filters inadequate. A practical concern for anyone building email-based pipelines or products.
