    Actually this is a great analogy.

    The fact that everyone is using cars now make everyone more miserable. It’s impacting health, mental health, maintaining car infrastructure bankrupt cities …

    Children cannot play in the streets anymore which is impacting their development, they have less social interaction with other kids …

      How old are you and this guy. I’m old and people have always used cars my whole life close to 50/years. We played in the streets and when a car came we moved then continued. No big deal. Now people seem t be less patient and in a hurry now so they might just hit the kids.

        I’m not old enough to have know life without cars, I trust the scientists that studied the impact of car centric infrastructure on people life.

    What’s this guy talking about? How old is he, being born before cars were invented?

    This guy is getting high on his own supply.

      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.

        Yeah, when they never have anyone say “no” or “that’s stupid” or “shut up” the sycophancy makes them lose touch with reality.

        It’s actually a lot like AI psychosis.

        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

    AI is great! I work in programming and when I got thrown into this project … AI went down for two hours and I was in a rush so I asked my coworkers that have been working on a project for four weeks how auth worked they and had no idea, they didn’t know how the application fucking worked, nor what we used redis or the db for or any of this shit. It’s so good losing the respect of my all my coworkers! /s

      I had a call today with a coworker, he literally took screenshots of a backoffice webpage to ask claude where he should click to troubleshoot his issue.

      Even if AI was literally perfect (lmfao), how could it even know what features a private backoffice works?

      People used to dislike engineers because we asked for clear instructions, now they have a machine that will slop their instructions into some result – any result – and even engineers are using it as a replacement for thinking, even for the most minute task

      Or when you just try to set up the local dev environment and that shit doesn’t work because they added some bearer tokens needed for auth to a Claude.md file that I obviously didn’t read.

    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.

        It always has.

        You’re not going to be rolling out a basketball hoop into the cul-de-sac if you live on the 10rh floor of a New York City apartment complex.

        But that type of thing still happens millions of times every week across the globe.

          Right, and this commenter fails to understand that people have different frames of reference, and perspectives, and experiences. It’s an analogy.

          Or rather, I think they know what he means, and they’re just intentionally acting unwise.

          Either way, Nvidia can go f—k themselves. Glad I went fully team AMD with this last PC build.
