I have not seen as prediction as actual technology, but mostly as a horror story.

And a warning, I guess, in unlikely case of brain uploading being a thing.

Also, Steve Yegge is a swindler and scammer, who benefited financially from pump and dump scheme advertised by him on his blog.

Note that some disclaimers, warnings were added afterwards.

Details?

https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/01/22/steve-yegges-gas-town-vib... seems to be a decent writeup.

But https://steve-yegge.medium.com/bags-and-the-creator-economy-... by itself is quite damming and obvious.

" simple rules of law..." - sadly, EU regulations in their totality are far from simple

Please elaborate, what's so complicated about it?

Which ones? I've had no problems - especially with gdpr.

> die size is 40% bigger than Samsung

likely naive question: why it is a problem? I would be fine if RAM in my PC has 10 times larger physical size if it is overall cheaper.

I guess that larger may have more power draw, but given costs of RAM and electricity and power draw of RAM it sounds unlikely to be a problem.

At a high end it would run into real-estate prices - at some point using half of room for computer stops making economical sense, given costs of rent or buying flat space. But just doubling size of PC does not sound like a bad tradeoff if it would be say 20% cheaper. Or 50% cheaper.

Is it about not fitting existing motherboards?

Is there reason why they cannot just make memories physically larger? It is "only" 40%, not 40000%

For big PC towers it's not that big of a deal, but for smaller laptops, phones and SBC, having bigger chips may not be feasible due to size constraints

Most of a chip is the packaging. The die can be bigger.

"No one needs app" is not the same as "No one has biological mandatory need to have an app"

Even not-so popular niche projects are getting LLM spam. Curiously, at least where Ia m active most comes from account with India-related usernames.

Some are opening PRs, some are posting comments in issues that repeat what was said already, just in more words.

> Large scale software systems can be maintained by one or two folks now.

No, LLMs are not so powerful yet.
