Trump, your child couldn't put a lego car together.

Also I'm pretty sure there's drug testing at automotive plants. How's your cokehead of a child going to even get in the door?

And Apple is also pushing its own omnipresent AI.

Headline: US warns Israel to boost humanitarian aid into Gaza or risk losing weapons funding

First line of the article: The Biden administration has warned Israel that it must increase the amount of humanitarian aid it is allowing into Gaza within the next 30 days or it could risk

The headline is intentionally making it seem like the US wants Israel itself to provide aid to Gaza, no they're just pretending to ask Israel to please stop preventing other people from trying to provide aid to Gaza.

Thanks Associated press, very cool.

Zionists have little concern for Jewish people

FTFY

while the robots are doing what people would do to enjoy themselves.

and for the specific purpose of increasing profit margins of media companies who no longer have to pay artists and writers

If generative AI was merely a computer science endeavour, the 1% wouldn't be investing this heavily in it.

Same with "communicating over the internet isn't real communication."

I'm not saying that there aren't problems with how much we're communicating over the internet and how little we're communicating in real life, but the vast majority of humans in history would have considered the ability to send text messages to someone on the other side of the world in less than a second to be reserved for the gods above.

AI also isn't studying or being artistic. It has no real awareness of the concepts it's seemingly learning, at least not yet. AI as of right now is basically just statistical analysis of human-made information and art and predictive modelling of how a human might respond to a given prompt.

All I'm getting from this picture is that the biggest danger to scooter riders is in fact cars.

Also in this thread: Identifying the need to restructure the current standard before car usage can be realistically reduced by large amounts.

The best way to reduce car use is to create an environment where driving isn't the default (or only) way to get around. Induced demand works in reverse too.

or do people in reality have cars and need to park them somewher

1. Why not let the business decide how much parking to have then? Surely they know the needs of their customer base better than the city. Even as an anti-capitalist anti-free-market socialist, parking minimums seem like an extreme government overreach. You can still have parking without mandating a parking minimum.

2. Why are you working with the base assumption that people have to drive? If you can't park somewhere, maybe that place should be set up with good alternatives so people don't have to drive there in the first place, i.e. good sidewalks, protected bike lanes, frequent public transit. Humans are surprisingly space efficient when they're not in huge metal cages.

Not everyone who can't really walk much qualify for handicapped status. The majority don't. The elderly as just one example.

Additionally, on-street parking gets you even closer to where you want to go. In fact, if more people who can walk did walk, it would make it even easier for people who can't who won't have as much competition for good parking spots.

Move to the country if you want to drive everywhere then. Leave cities for people who actually value the density they're supposed to provide.
