Thanks! Nice to reminisce.
“ I’m as big a critics of our modern capital-industrial system as the next person”
Evidently
Haha, what’s this from again?
Cool! I‘d also see it as a compliment. That‘s why I was surprised that a fellow luddite would interpret it differently. Alas, it was just this little word that made us stumble. But yeah, the Luddites knew that machines weren‘t evil. But that they would be used to generate more profit and not to lessen their toil
yeah, let‘s get rid of this antiquated shit. I‘ll cut my legs off and copter out of this ridiculous set
ah, now I get it. You meant ostensible goal
Edit: I also had to look it up )
as a luddite you should know that automation‘s goal never was to save us from unwanted labour. But of course this would have to be accomplished first, before your second assumption can ever come true.
it still isn‘t a net gain for public infrastructure. which already lacks much needed investment.
what?
much needed? Nuclear Power for AI?
maybe you didn‘t consider all implications of this statement. To make more clear what I meant: maybe regulating capitalism never was the answer, maybe it is time to get rid of the whole shit show.
maybe regulating has never been the answer
well, you seem to have trouble doing it
well, they should have posted a link to the Cruise Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise_(autonomous_vehicle) because what I read from regulation and incidents proves his point. The city requesting no expansion to permits, 39 incidents between January and June 2023 blocking fire department operations alone. And that is just within their limited time permits.
I think the comment was in response to the problems that existed before. While this was about the economic problems, it‘s worth considering that both may be connected.
writes the Telegraph? Next!
This has been going on for a while:
