I’m in Irvine for a graduation, reminded that it’s possible for a city to actually have a negative walkability score 😬 🚗 🚘 🚙

I keep seeing the "cars replaced horses" thing related to "AI."
People keep comparing "AI" to cars (positively) without thinking about the fact that cars were forced on people (AAA bought up and destroyed tram lines, there were massive protests, etc), and are the primary driver of climate change that is currently on track to make complex human society impossible. Meanwhile, cities that weren't destroyed for cars, or that have reversed most of the damage, are some of the most desirable places to live.
Maybe we could take the car analogy as a warning. Maybe it could be a reminder to think about how forcing technology on people against their will can reshape society in a profoundly negative way.
The answer for cities has been to right-size transit. Eliminate cars wherever possible, maintain emergency vehicles and mobility aids, and find more efficient alternatives (bikes, trams, metros, and trains) where possible. I feel as though we can extrapolate from the metaphor.
We do not have to repeat the mistake of reshaping society around a single, oversimplified, solution in order to benefit a tiny minority. Perhaps we can actually choose the right technologies based on use cases, rather than hype or dogma.
Cars didn't replace horses. Cars replaced walkable cities, tram lines and mass transit, and children playing in the streets.
"Cars replaced horses" to the benefit of a small group of elite men, at tremendous cost to literally everyone else. When people say, "AI is the new 'cars replacing horses'" they are saying something very specific about their privilege and intentions.

Canada bij de EU? Dit piepkleine eiland kan het verschil maken - YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4HHEdbwzp4
Dankzij een eilandje waar Canada en Denemarken heel lang over gestreden hebben en het eiland 4 jaar geleden verdeeld is, zou Canada wellicht kunnen toetreden tot de EU...
Misschien moet Marokko dan ook maar zo'n deal met een EU land maken ... Dr valt vast wel een eilandje te verzinnen waar je ruzie over kunt krijgen en kunt bijleggen.
