                        We've released Native Markdown, a new extension. The entire page is stored as Markdown rather than embedded within wikitext via a tag.

                        You get functioning links, categories, search, table of contents, and even templates and parser functions.

                        Add it to existing wikis without breaking anything: existing pages stay wikitext, and new pages default to .

                                                                                                                          When we then consider that currently tokens are highly subsidized by investors. Literally trillions a year.

                                                                                                                          And we see that even with that subsidy, prices are increasing rapidly. But that eventually, these subsidies will be removed and costs will be shifted to the people using the AI.

                                                                                                                          Then we can only conclude that in future, becomes something for the wealthy only.

                                                                                                                          A few years ago, everyone with access to a computer and the will to learn, could write the Next Killer App, or get hired to write software. From girls living in a country where $100/month is a solid income, to guys living in the basement of their mom in a country where €2000/month is on the low end. Especially with goving free access to a solid foundation for everyone, worldwide.

                                                                                                                          But with the costs of unsubsidized agentic software development, that division will make software development much less accessible to people. When the daily bill for tokens is higher than the common monthly income in your country, it's inaccessible.

                                                                                                                          We often hear the story that now everyone can "make" software, with AI. Because the skills to write software are no longer a requirement. A barrier removed.
                                                                                                                          But the barrier isn't removed, it's replaced with a barrier of wealth. A barrier that anyone with a brain and will, could overcome, replaced by a barrier that is set by society and impossible to overcome for a vast majority of the people worldwide.

                                                                                                                              See, vibe coding might feel productive today amongst people who understand the technology it is using. But what happens when the next generation of coders only really know how to vibe code? Who have very little understanding of how things actually work.
                                                                                                                              (The thing they call) "AI" is not capable of abstract thought, and never will be, because it is not actually intelligent. Yes, it is the same as autocomplete in an IDE, or a text messaging app on your phone - and that's what people are allowing themselves to become passive to?
                                                                                                                              New technologies are developed out of problem solving and human curiosity. An "AI" can only work with what already exists, just mashing it together.
                                                                                                                              Obviously, the more vibe coding becomes the norm, the more stifled technological progress becomes. Just regurgitating the same things over and over, and never making any real advancements, or finding solutions to real world problems anymore.
                                                                                                                              And when all of this technology eventually collapses in on itself. People will be there using a trusty pen on paper again. That obsolete thing.
