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

When cars came along? How old is he?

[–] Carnelian@lemmy.world 64 points 3 weeks ago (10 children)

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?

Turns out, if you don't sacrifice cities on the car altar and plan for quality of life instead, children can in fact play on the streets. The Netherlands show it.

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.

God, he is such an insufferable dick and no jack ass, kids still play in the streets even with the cars but I wouldn't expect a out of touch billionaire to even understand a bit of actual life and no, I don't want your AI slop anywhere near my life.

From the guy that brought us: "All the CPUs in the past were built for humans, this CPU is built for agents."

Dude just invented fictional customers by selling directly to the AI. 😅

Man, I didn't know they didn't have cars back in the 60s.

To be fair, he was born in Taiwan, just 20 or so years after the ROC retreated from mainland China.

He then lived in the city of Tainan and later in Thailand.

Then, also consider what he may have ment by "when car came along", I would read it less litteral and more like "when mass car ownership came along".

One or two cars in the area per day won't prevent anyone from playing in the streets, but when that increases to hundreds per day, that changes things.

Everybody should use _____. Society has no choice but to change. I used to play in the streets. When _____ came along, you obviously can’t play in the streets now

Everybody should use guns. Society has no choice but to change. I used to play in the streets. When guns came along, you obviously can’t play in the streets now

Everybody should use drugs. Society has no choice but to change. I used to play in the streets. When drugs came along, you obviously can’t play in the streets now

I'm seeing a pattern here...only bad things work in his example.

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

You know, he's right - we should start investing in mass transit so we don't need the cars, and kids can play in the street again.

Rich-asshole/CEO-says-a-thing journalism. They say something completely absurd, and it actually makes its way around the news and memes. I swear, if we stop reporting these imbeciles and sharing this nonsense, half of the internet would have no idea what to do. The internet thrives and dies on these stupid souless pointless reactionary news articles, Tiktok dancing and tide-pod eating/trendy bullshit, and LLM stupidity.

I’d rather burn down your headquarters than use your shitty, unreliable, insane environment killer.

But honestly, this guy is an asshole. He doesn’t seem to care about selling this to people. In fact, he’s practically openly hostile to people. He’s always talking to and selling to companies and government (America, mostly?)

It’s the most “bubble” fucking thing I’ve ever seen.

When cars come along you just yell "Car!" and get out of the street.

I strongly suspect this jackal doesn't predate cars.

I also strongly suggest kids preferred not to play in the ditches we used to call streets before cars.

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.

Different idea, how about we get the cars out of the way of the children again, and also shun LLMs?

[–] utopiah@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago

Good thing movements reclaiming streets back for citizens already exist. In fact even businesses who initially opposed this actually realize it's better for them too.

Looks at photos of Amsterdam and Paris just decades ago. It's like smoking in planes.

We as a society try, fail, learn, and overcome BS.
