  • You joke but with chatGPT it’s inevitable. Old school programmers will stick to source code but tools for non-programmers will collect plain text descriptions to create functionality.

    Inevitably, images and all other media will become part of it.

    Future developers will have to navigate those collections and wonder why a functionality doesn’t work when they remove some side-tracking Instagram stories. They will shrug, leave them in place and heap on further memes and comments until they complete their jira ticket.












  • People value things. In capitalism, the ones who value them the most, and who are able to pay, get them.

    If you disrupt this mechanism by allocating resources differently, you risk that resources are wasted. Of course you can use other allocations but is that a good idea?

    Capitalism has many flaws, e. g. monopolies disrupt this mechanism, but it just has to be better than its competitors to survive.

    You imagine taking over capitalism and allocating luxeries differently. I doubt that those luxeries will exist. If workers only want to work e.g. 8 hours per week, because socialism, the surplus will be gone.

    If you can make those workers work more under socialism without a gun to their head, then you should be able to do so right now within the legal framework of a coop.

    It should be easier because you only have to manage production processes without fighting a war.

    Sidequestion: how does a member of the bourgeoisie without capital look like?
