"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

That middle one kind of sticks out. Seems perfectly valid if your usually walking/biking/using public transportation.

You can still get a license in case you do need to drive a car. A license is not an obligation to buy a car.

This! There are probably gonna be times where you need to drive to get someone somewhere in a hurry. Cannot speak for everywhere, but in my part of the world the police won't care if you are speeding to get someone to hospital, you'll still get a ticket, minimum, without license.

The first one was ripped off from Zizek. The second one is because you have to ask WAYMO for permission for access to a vehicle.

Still not sure what you are getting at. With sex and existing, those are themselves the goal, so having a machine do it for you makes no sense. With driving, getting from A to B is the goal, not the act of driving itself, which makes calling a normal cab or a robo-taxi both equally valid ways of achieving the goal if you don't want to drive.
