I mean it kinda is but the reality is people aren't going to go backwards. However, that doesn't mean we need to make the problem dramatically worse. I seriously doubt we'll all be traveling this way but if we are it's because we decided to value our convenience over the lives of the young and the poor.

Then they should study that directly rather than how to better waste huge amounts of fuel making the lives of the rich more convenient at the expense of everyone else's survival.

I don't really see how this could be used for anything else but even then it's hard to see how the benefits would outweigh the harms of enabling climate arson.

This should be considered terrorism against the climate. There's absolutely no need for this technology beyond convenience for the rich and privileged.

lol it's true. My mom sends me screenshots of AI chats every fucking day.

All the more reason not to put these in residential areas...

Is there a way to not require a Microsoft account? That's why I haven't upgraded.

Harder maybe but it's clearly doable. We have a number of options now. And it's not like they've had to make them hyper-aerodynamic or anything. Just took a little more advanced battery tech.

Yeah the electric pickup is such a no brainer for the US market and it was one of the first.

But what if it was horribly ugly and made everyone hate you? Surely it will sell even better then!

Really? I see chuds driving them all over my town unfortunately. Admittedly far less popular than other Tesla vehicles though which are absolutely everywhere here in CA. Seems like most people forgot he's a nazi already.

The work eventually could lead to drones that monitor wildlife, survey the environment and inspect infrastructure with less visual disruption.

Ah yes these are the reasons people would want drones that are hard to see, and there are absolutely no others.

Absolutely. The reaction of workers to automation underlines the exploitation going on here. If you knew nothing about the economy you would be baffled that people would be upset to have robots doing hard work instead of them. But we all know we'll be sent to the trash heap as soon as our owners find a tool they don't have to feed and shelter.
