A vibecoder used 48 AI agents to find an unmapped Maya settlement

According to reports circulating online, a vibecoder pointed 48 AI agents at NASA lidar data and came up with an ancient Maya settlement that was not on any map. The details come from social-media accounts, not a published study, so the find has not been independently confirmed. Still, lidar has long been used to see through jungle canopy, and the story suggests that the slow work of combing through scans may be something software can now do at scale, and with a hobbyist's budget.
