    Kids around here still play on the streets. And roam around town on their bikes and on foot. Cars drive accordingly. That’s not the message the auto industry pushed and got adopted most places unfortunately.

    Companies do influence society often for the worse. The problem is people listen to this shit and just accept it. There needs to be a counter narrative. People need to be able to live good fulfilling lives that provide healthy challenges, physically and mentally. The car ruined our physical spaces. Corporate LLMs are coming for our mental spaces.

    How old is that fuck? Cars have been around forever.

    There were literal streets, wtf he talking about. You wouldn’t be playing in the streets before cars came around. Were you playing on the cobblestone?

    The car example doesn’t show what he wants it to show… In reality, the automobile industry fucked us all over by making places dangerous that were once safe. In reality, many towns and cities would be better off if they had more walking and bicycling areas and less space for cars. The problem is, it’s hard to undo the damage in urban design that played out over the last century.

    In other words, don’t buy into this AI bullshit, because once you let it take over, it’s hard to replace. That’s the real message.

    … And I’m not saying all new technology is bad. But this is a bubble, and like all bubbles, it’s mostly full of vaporware.

    What were streets for before cars came along?

    This guy has been sniffing too much black leather polish.

      Some podcast I was listening to said you have ten years after becoming a billionaire when you are still normal then you go batshit because you’re surrounded by people you pay to glaze you and assorted sycophants. So you should only be a billionaire for ten years max.

        Shit like this is why you don’t tell anyone if you win the lottery. Just silently pay off your debts, continue working, and put the remainder in an interest-bearing account.

        If the people around you don’t know you’re loaded, they won’t be sycophants

    I have no issues with society changing. How about making fortunes bigger than one billion dollars taxable? Without deductions, of course.

    And much like how we would warn each other about incoming cars while playing in the street, now we warn each other when stuff is made with ai.
