"The rise of extreme wealth is one of the clearest signs of this imbalance. In 1987, billionaires held wealth equal to 3% of global GDP. Today this tiny elite, just 0.0001% of the world population, owns the equivalent of *16%* of world GDP in wealth."

does bluesky have downtime because of vibecoding? hmm, unlikely. is it funny that bluesky seems to have more downtime the more smug and defensive their devs get about how great vibecoding is? extremely so

loooool

can’t be helped I guess!

The infinite growth model is one of the worst things to happen to journalism/media. At some point you reach the ceiling of people who want to read your magazine! You can just make enough money to pay people well and publish things and not grow forever!

update: minutes before my story went up, northernlion announced on stream that the cruise is canceled

northernlion—aka the only big streamer who’s relatively normal—is making big moves. earlier this week he announced a cruise that his fanbase at first thought was a bit, and now he’s funding and publishing demon bluff, a single-player social deduction game he helped put on the map

why is everyone always asking whatsapp and not howsapp
