    The company’s CEO, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, has thrown the entire company’s weight behind artificial intelligence, infamously boasting that the tech was doing the work of “700 full-time agents” last year — only to regret his decision months later, admitting that humans play an important role after all.

    Siemiatkowski claimed that he went from being a “business person” to an amateur developer thanks to vibe coding, allowing him to come up with a prototype in just 20 minutes.

    Siemiatkowski claimed his newfound hobby is saving his staff significant amounts of time — but whether Klarna engineers would agree with that sentiment remains unclear.

    What a shit show.
