I have a great fear for the near future. We are going to see virtually all mainstream software, including for essential services, use AI hallucinated vibe coding.
All because the bourgeoisie simply want to save a buck, and simply hate the working class that much
At some point things will become so bad that the monopolies will fail.
It's not possible that consumers will keep insisting on failing from the same con from the same parties all the way into non-working software. (And they are getting pretty close to non-working already.)
Unfortunately I don't believe that's how it'll work.
Monopolies hold total control of essential services and goods in the marketplace, and we're already seeing in the US what happens when those monopolies see threats of competition. The state becomes the slave of the monopolies, and all competition is taken out. If not through crushing businesses (such as policies hostile to smaller businesses), then through closing the market to competitors (such as the TikTok ban, or the tarrifs).
