An AI discussion of the article "The Full Circle -- From CVI to Antigravity" at https://williamlweaver.substack.com/p/the-full-circle-from-cvi-to-antigravity
From hand-coding stack operations in Asyst Forth to "vibe coding" with Google Antigravity, this podcast traces a 40-year journey in instrument development. By comparing the "Smart IDEs" of the 1990s (like LabWindows/CVI) to the generative AI tools of 2025, this article argues that modern AI assistance isn't "cheating"—it's the ultimate autocomplete. A story of resilience, administrative gridlock, and the renaissance of the SAIL lab.
