Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•LLMs are like cars in one aspectEnglish
2·5 days agoYou have absolutely no idea what my situation is. I moved as close to work as I can.
The car has taken away my ability to get to places however the fuck I want. As it stands, you either own a car or you are stuck were you are, and this is supposed to be empowering? I can’t just walk to the shop because a) it’s a 30min drive and b) there’s no pedestrian entrance. Want to experience nature? 1h30 drive, want to see a movie? It’s in a mall with no pedestrian entrance. I feel so empowered being allowed to use a single method of transport to live life.
Cars are fine in moderation, but we’ve gone far beyond that.

1·6 days agoI don’t hate cars, I like mechanical shit. I hate not being able to commute without one because that’s how my country has built its towns and cities. The buses are shit, there are no trains and walking is out of the question because the pedestrian infrastructure is unsafe or non existent.

123·6 days agoCars don’t empower people. We’ve had “super human” travailing abilities long before the car. Cars take away freedom. I don’t understand how being forced to use one method of travel for daily commute is empowering.
I’ve come to dislike the word empowered. In recent times it is, more often than not, used to gaslight people into accepting something that has far more negative consequences than positive.

What bullshit is this? Copying without authorisation is a form of IP theft.

It already is making things dramatically worse
