Another example of AI putting real humans out of work. Up until recently I used to to get paid good money to ride my bike in loops past survey cameras while wearing different hats. Now, my phone never rings and I've had to slowly sell off my collection to make rent. Even if I do get another job offer, I'm down to like 7 hats, most clients I deal with expect twice that many hats for the money they spend.

The Petty Bourgeoisie.
The stupid thing here is that mass transit, pedestrians, and cyclists are all way better for small businesses than huge parking lots and enforced car dependency. There's lots of studies that show that car dependency really only benefits big box stores and big corporate chains. Fucking dumbasses.
It's because it requires removal of 138 parking spaces.
Right, but there's lots of studies that show that those parking spaces are actually much more beneficial to everyone- business included- as bike lanes, bus lanes, seating stalls, and nearly anything else besides parking.
Not if your business is car dealership or gas station
I wouldn't classify most as small business anyway.
How is this not fraud?
It's... Well, it's 100% fraud.
But they're rich, so it's just a smart business move
He adds that the space issue would be compounded by Uber and Instacart drivers, who need somewhere to park while they pick up orders for customers.
Maybe with the bus lanes your new traffic from getting bus loads of people to your doorstep will mean that people don’t need to get food delivery as much.
After the reveal today of Google Veo 3 and now this... We are truly and utterly fucked
Ai agents are a sin.
As with any technology, it's how it's used that counts.
AI doesn’t kill people. People kill people!
AI does, however, kill polar bears.
Or the purpose of creation. Give me something actually useful that actually solves problems please jfc.
People say right-wingers aren't creative. But look at all the different ways they've found to say 'lies'!
Boycott their businesses.
replace them with AI.
Wouldn't businesses want more people, tho?
Businesses ≠ Business owners
