Or they start bopping the 99% out the picture until the 1% is 51%.
And the Ouroboros is complete.
Every vibe coded software I’m following has stopped updates after about a week. Is this a change of interest in the developer or did they get lost in the code slop and the AI hit context limits to quality essentially locking out further changes?
You really don’t want true democracy. See - tyrant of the masses.

The average iq of the lowest 33% is 83.6.

Yours is double that.

That is who will rule over you.

Re:When electric cars were for women on Sunday November 01, 2026 @05:38AM (#50324332)
Electric powered steering.

Long rides with regular turns took significant strength and endurance without powered steering.

Electric vehicles in comparison are a more relaxed less physically fatiguing drive all round.

Re:Prospero: A new coding harness for a more civilized age on Saturday October 31, 2026 @10:43AM (#50316648)
Prospero was the original code name for the ps5 console that is recently jailbroken. That’s why you’re seeing a lot of other unrelated projects with this name too.
This is math junk food. Pretty though.
Some of these conspiracy theories you’re all coming up with are too whack even for me. Video game controllers near groins? Really? Come on.
Re:MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch on Wednesday October 28, 2026 @02:27PM (#50278617)
The screen is too far away and when you touch it it moves back a little ruining your sensitivity and wiggling your touch point.

If you lock the screen position with hardware it just lifts the keyboard when you touch just a little too hard.

You need stability for touch and a superlight laptop just does not have that.

The problem is there are so few uncensored places now that if you do make one you overnight become the sweary nasi/pedo/sexads bar because everything else is closed to them.

Basically Reddit 2018.

Steve being the person who can make audibles and then actually making them. So many indecisive “we’ll do it tomorrow” bs mba paycheck ceos out there.

Bezos was the same.

Start today. Start now.

What will this look like after the coming AI investment crash/growth stagnation inflection point?

It’s gonna be a wild ride to 2030.

Agreed. And the best part is that list is expanding every day.
Anyone can make their own subreddit.

LAMP stack with a cloudflare frontend if you really want to test this “real world”.

Post updates on bsky not your actual site as they will be dropping malware once they bop your BTC. Be ready to shut it down fast.

The deep dark secret you’re all shrivelling from here is Google is a monopoly and visa mastercard is a duopoly.

Google search results are amazing and you know it. It’s 100.

(I am not including AI results in this).

Re:Publish fake stats, get cited in LLMs on Tuesday October 20, 2026 @10:55AM (#50167370)
The primary purpose of Google is to stop that. You have 100% trust in Google results because of the effort they have put into cleaning the results you see.

Billions have been spent on it.

Try searching Bing sometime. First result for Firefox is a malware clone site (you’ll have to scroll past the malware ad to see it).

Now imagine what quantum computers will do. AI in polynomial time.

You can sense the fear and anxiety in the article.

Is existence not enough anymore? Do humans need more?
