Professor's experiment: GPT-2 vibe-codes an incomprehensible web app via Codex

Mike Frank continues his experiment series: GPT-2 vibe-coding a web application using Codex/Sol-6.1, producing something delightfully incomprehensible.
He notes that Samson (his GPT-2 persona) "seems to be enjoying himself, even if he is getting a little bit confused" — with prompts supplied by a friend beta-testing the setup. The charm is the contrast of running a 2019-era model through a modern coding agent stack.
