Show HN: Vibe Linking

I wanted to hate this but... I can't, it's pretty cool.

Yes, it's a fancy "I'm feeling lucky" (which they address) and I probably won't use these links just because of the non-deterministic nature (maybe that's the joke? It's just a cool demo/poc?) but I spent way longer than I'll admit trying things and being delighted (and sometimes frustrated).

It's a fun experiment and THANK YOU for posting the prompt. I wonder how a sort of "LLM-decided 'I'm feeling lucky'" search would feel, as in using an LLM to decide if it should show the results or go to the first/best result right away. That's pretty much what this is I guess.

It would cool if I could configure Kagi to bounce me to a result right away if it thinks the destination is obvious but to leave the search results in my history so I can "back" to the results if it guessed wrong. I guess I could just try setting `https://vb.lk/%s` as my search engine.

Sounds like a good use case is using this as placeholder links while writing a blog post to avoid stopping and looking for links, then doing an automatic replacement of the vibe links with what they resolve to and fixing any incorrect ones.

I really appreciate this kind of simple out-of-the-box thinking, leveraging innovation to reinvent basic primitives. This feels significant. I can already see some dystopian 'Dead Internet Theory' use cases for this but also could help to further decentralize the web in a positive way. This could be a game-changer for personalization. My gut is telling me this idea is more important than it seems.

I think combining this tech with vector embeddings with similarity matching for personalization could be a real game-changer and can be done cheaply.

I typed in “beer” and it just redirected me to a Google search for beer…

That is correct. The speed at which these are getting deprecated is a constant pain in the rear.
