they figured that out before the last US election

no shit. they are going to be completely screwed over (again) from their land claims. and likely paid nothing for these “nation building” projects. this is another way for private corpos that suck up to the government to steal land, resources, and federal funding. our tax dollars.

the slate truck is a great concept. simple, low cost, pickup. like a ranger from the early 2000’s.

sucks that its a bezos project. wish they made cheap conversion kits instead of having to spend 10’s of thousands to upgrade an older vehicle to electric.

maybe some day. either way. i have a bike and a sedan that i barely use enough to justify insurance.

bring back kei trucks

indeed the beaverton is a satire website. however the story is real, and this is a “riff” on the real story.

Then you’ve also got people who have almost been hit by a delivery scooter thinking “ebikes are a menace” solely because they’re new and something some “other” group of people uses, and so it’s easy to say “they must be stopped” while ignoring the crazy fast, way heavier cars they’re already desensitized to.

i wonder who invested in the consistent motor vehicle marketing and infrastructure over the last 100 years?

surely not the rich and powerful behind the status quo of american car manufacturing.

that would be insane to think they were somehow involved in maintaining the status quo through bribery and lobbying in one of the most populated and popular cities on earth.

unheard of in the united states! surely new yorks very uncorrupt mayor is above such lowely criminal behaviours.

it would make zero sense for someone to make such a silly law for an ecofriendly and virtually free alternative (after a small initial investment in comparison) that existed well before motor vehicles ever did.

occams razor applies, for sure. this is america afterall.

you’re probably right, theres nothing to see here. surely the mayor of new york city couldnt possibly be in a position to profit from such a law. that would be INSANE

“verticle farming”

okay, cool. i buy everything canadian, or from other countries besides the US anyways. its super easy.

you arent wrong. its regurgitating the answer without understanding the source material.

like studying a tests specific answers to get a good grade, without learning what any of it means.

its supposed to be cheap, and accessible. but comes off like…well…slop.

the minute i see an ad, or “creative project” that employs it. i take a mental note to never purchase or engage with it.

ive used AI a fair bit for things like checking grammar, searching the internet for sources, or asking general knowledge questions, logic traps, to see how it viewed itself, humanity, our future etc. i did this to test it, out of curiosity.

the issue with AI is that if it doesnt know the answer, or isnt allowed to tell you, it will talk out of its ass. and attempt to logic its way through an answer. its the same with its “art”

it has its uses, best used for small simple things like recipes, workout plans, practical knowledge (sometimes). but overall, at this point, in this current version of society, with the current ruling class controlling the levers. its a weapon of misinformation, propaganda, division, and is an essential weapon of the security state. its also used to undermine virtually every profession it touches.

we simply are not ready as a society, a species. and those controlling it, creating it, deploying it, have no business being near it.

in an alternate universe we took care of the planet, socialised every human need, and took care of eachother, and developed beyond monetary systems of economics. maybe in that world we would be properly prepared.

but in this world. theres no fucking way this will turn out well for everyone. eventually the course we are following leads to our eventual extinction. not through AI alone, but through the total collapse of our ecosystems due to negligence and greed. eventually the bunkers and space stations will run out of food, and the ones that lead us here will find their karma.

its a shame our extinction was the final “aha moment” for the rich to consider sharing.

because they want people purchasing or renting vehicles, and paying for public transportation.

ebikes and regular bikes undercut city profits and private industries invested in new yorks current infrastructure.

making it difficult, pointless, or seemingly “unsafe and scary” is just another way for them to squeeze the already dry working man for a few more drops.

they want continuous subscribers, not “freeloadin communist lbrl sissies”

at this point it doesnt matter. theres no saving us from extinction due to climate change. this serves only for the intermediate period where we can “save” some money on energy day to day, before the inevitable collapse that makes money and savings worthless.

dont get me wrong, if i could afford a house, let alone additional panels and the additional fees that come with installation, maintenance, regulations, licensing, etc. then id be all in, even if it was just to contribute to the dying ideal that there was some semblence of hope for a better future. this is up to the landlords and the upperclass to give a shit about, and most of it is for grandstanding and keeping up with the joneses.

i used to install these for a living during covid. only people in my area who could afford them were multigenerational farmers and eco concious suburbanites. even for the suburbanites living in million+ dollar homes it was a stretch financially, and a hastle due to regulations.

good idea. but a bit late. we are at the point that if someone waved a magic wand tomorrow, and everyone stopped driving cars and pulled a full 180 on coal, oil, and gas, it would still be far too late.

if you can afford the inevitable markup that comes with proffessional installation. be my guest. if you are a poor person wanting to slap some panels on a tiny home, go nuts. just dont expect to save the world by doing so. its fucked. live how you want to while you can. drink, fuck, fight, eat good food, play video games, bed rot and consume to your hearts content.

nothing can save us. not even the “indomitable will of the human spirit” not a god damned thing.

sorry to shit in your salad. but thems the breaks.

speaking through the fractal of conciousness given to me by what we refer to as “god” or the universal conciousness, for a brief second.

yall need to stop, just enjoy eating fresh fruit and chill the fuck out. maybe go fishing or something. also war is fake n’d gei. trump is on the epstein files (shocker, i know) and all of your politicians are merely a buffer for the ruling elite class, the ones you refer to as oligarchs, corporate leaders, tech bros, etc. id like to say you could handle this with words, but nope. they are mentally ill psychopathic pedophiles, rapists, and mass murderers, and the only cure for entrenched corruption like this is death. kill them, or they will eventually kill all life on earth.

on the bright side, the current living generations are the last ones who will be able to enjoy the literal fruits of the world that dont come from a can, or are made in a lab. the actual last living generation will be doing a lot of cannibalism and fighting for the shadows of what you currently consider rights and privileges, all for naught.

unless you buck up, and start killing them. this is your future.

fun to watch/experience either way, for me at least. god/universal conciousness…out!

huh… that was weird… i suddenly have a great and overwhelming feeling of grief, terror, and anger.

ill just go play some video games and jerk off. that usually gets my mind off of things…

“big milkers want us to buy more dairy to fight climate change”

4 guys wanted to start a militia and take some land by force.

all in their mid twenties to early thirties

half of them in the military.

thats the story.

CALLED IT THE DAY CHATGPT CAME OUT TO THE PUBLIC.

im getting sick and tired of being right all the time.

one more thing to watch for, they are going to use AI to create custom viruses that are going to go after specific genes in the population and erradicate them like the enclave wanted to do with project purity in fallout 3 for people with mutations. using information from databases pulled from companies like 23 and me.

autistics, ADHD, LGBTQ+, specific races, and other “less preferable” genetic markers will be targeted. with those in power sharing those markers being vaccinated well in advance.

tinfoil hat coming off now.

do it, pussy.

hilarious that we view the damage of climate change through an economic lense, which is obviously the most dire consequence.

“but black dynamite!.. i sell drugs to the community!”

this was evidently written by AI. every part of it.
