    Cars and car-first infrastructure have been massively bad ecologically, socially, and environmentally.

    Everybody should use wheelchairs. Society has no use for legs anymore. We have no choice but to amputate our legs. I used to have legs but now I have a wheelchair, so I don’t need them anymore.

      He also thinks there are one billion people on earth total. So between that and the invention of cars being in his memory, I think we can place him solidly in the mid 1800’s?

    Everyone has to start buying my product. We have no choice. I don’t make the rules.

    Everyone should use guillotines. Society has no choice but to change. I used to be a parasite. When the revolution came along, you obviously can’t be a parasite now

      In reality, everyone should use securities backed loans. You have no choice but to change. I used to be starving. You can’t be a poor anymore.

      Cars were invented yesterday. Don’t worry. Facts don’t matter in 2026. It’s all lies from the government, and AI for the masses.

    The AI bubble depends on this kind of brainwashing to stay inflated. But they can’t escape the truth, that AI is an answer looking for a question that isn’t necessarily being asked. Sure there are useful applications, but I don’t actually need it for anything I do.

    It seems to be a big deal to people who don’t know how to do a lot of stuff. I already know how to do a lot of things, and I know how to find info by reading when I need to learn something, so the most popular use cases for AI don’t apply to me and I just don’t use it.

      Sure there are useful applications, but I don’t actually need it for anything I do.

      I’ve seen applications that are very useful. YouTuber Berm Peak used ai to bypass the controller of the world’s worst ebike so it wouldn’t become e-waste and fix it’s worst flaws. Yes new firmware could have been written from scratch. But he fixes bikes. He’s not a software developer.

      It’s like you don’t need a ball point pen to write, you could use a quill and save the plastic waste. But quills are so slow you don’t even consider it.

      Yeah this dude is clearly detached from the conversation, because people have been realizing that car superiority was a massive mistake and we should be correcting it. Like unfettered AI expansion

    I love my Nvidia Shield and my 1080ti. They are some of the best tech purchases I have ever made. That said…fuck this weirdo.

    Wow, poking the anti-AI and the anti-car people — not realizing that Venn diagram is concentric circles. (Intentionally using — just like my AI overlords)
