What if the headline read: "Horseless carriages are crippling stable owners and farriers"

Would you still hate this timeline?

"Horseless carriages driven around cities accelerate climatic problems"

"City growth caused by mass adoption of personal horseless carriages makes pedestrians unable to get anywhere"

So, yea, that would still be a problem

Turns out walkable cities do in fact exist despite those countries phasing out said horseless carriages.

Haha! Not in America, you cosmopolitan citizen of the world!

I was making a greater metaphorical point that society can and does adapt to new technologies

Eh. Society can adapt. But, it doesn't have to. The Amish are a thing, after all. And so are America's car-centric cities when high speed rail exists.

I for one can't wait for the headline "Gen Z increasingly joining Amish, DESTROYING industries"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's an ideological mindfuck. There was a post on TerribleFacebookMemes about a fundie saying that there aren't autistic persons among Amish because they don't vaccinate. At certain extremes, logic in ideology breaks down.

This is not equivalent. LLMs are not new tools, they're just the latest parlor trick of old tools. It has more to do with crypto and NFTs than with cars. And with the confidence of hindsight, cars (indirectly via the combustion engine and fossil fuels) absolutely destroyed the planet with anthropogenic climate change. We have every reason to hate this timeline.

This is just silly lol
