  • Maybe I was just hallucinating and imagined adding extra hurdles to vehicle ownership. I think that's what scares most people away when it comes to freeing up public space.

    I am all for walkable cities with proper bike infrastructure and railed transit. But I feel it is an important distinction that we try not to make things harder on the 'other end', and instead concentrate on new city infrastructure being created that focuses on being friendly to everything besides convenience motorists.

    So like everyone can still get a car, just make it not really worth it, in a good way. There, I solved world hunger.

  • Limiting sucks. If we try to get shit done by taking away, it'll never happen. No limiting.

    But there seems to be an interesting phenomenon in between public transit and driving. Like if you have a popular destination with shitty public transit, it'll take a ton of time to get there by car due to congestion.

    So make public transit go brrr, maybe slap some extra tax on vehicles, and see people abandon cars in favor of a working public transport by themselves, without any external limiting factors.

  • Pooping up?

  • Did you miss out on Katamari Damacy or just forgot to list it?

    The only reason that last paragraph ain't outright ai garbage (besides my elegant use of 'everyperson', mind you) is that there is a semi-original though buried at the end of it. This paragraph is odacious, so point taken.

  • Thank goodness. I was worried there for a second.

  • Or maybe even take a step back. Dead internet theory is real and we're living it, but just because the main subreddits and FB are ai schlock doesn't mean Lemmy is the only 'real' place.

    I feel the hardest part is keeping my senses about me when I argue with hivemind mentality. You will probably get a feeling from my writing, that I too embraced the hive speak and mind. And this is where the bots get the everyperson. Bots speak in hivemind and meme format. I think this whole kerfuffle will do wonders for real online discussion, as low-effort discussions will be dismissed as white noise.

  • Yeah, everything is a remix. I think it all boils down to preferences on copyright and corpos as entities.

    It's easier for me to accept that an inventor gets a 30+ year copyright (or lifelong for that matter) in our current societal setup. I even understand how most things today are a collaboration, so we need bigger entities to hold such copyrights. And this is the point where I personally start seeing the problems.

    I feel if we keep this up, art will move towards a l'art pour l'art phase. Mass media will turn into something personally tuned and we'll be charged a premium for something that was touched by human inspiration. Don't know if I helped or digressed too much, but these are my worries in the vacuum.

  • The B kinda harshes me. Does anyone along the way use it? Donau, Duna, all prettier.

  • It's still fun to hear the man himself talking about a larger than life virtual reality.

    The tech still scares me, I'm not even sure I'd be okay with EEG-like patches that work both ways (scifi, I know), not to mention brain surgery, for pure decadence. But the quality of life benefits really can be huge for many, and that really got my fantasy going, once I 'accepted' we figured out the limits and safeties of bodily autonomy.

  • I would welcome the comissar biweekly for a good ball-scrubbing.

  • both corporations and consumers have shown

    I don't think this a preference question. More like something intrinsic to a society based on market.

  • Meh, I kinda get it. Like who has more power, Trump or the Walton family? The latter is fairly in the background. Sachlers were (and are) getting away with the opiate epidemic.

    Sure there is a level, where it's only seeing shadow men, but Bill Gates, Musk or Bezos as a final boss seems anticlimatic. I do subscribe to the deep state idea, but I see it more like powerful people trying to keep their power, but it's more of a random walk than an orchestrated psyops.

  • You're telling me you don't hide in the brush and jerk off onto random hikers?

  • Like when you set up 10 pins for someone else to knock down with a ball and it's pretty symmetric?
