we’re not in the slower than walking era, we’re in the ford model t era, i’m reading someone call the ford model t magic beans (eg. a scam) while millions of people are driving one every day and simultaneously worried it’s going to ruin transportation all over the north america
again, these are contradictory statements, it cannot be both a scam that has no value (eg. magic beans) and going to take all our jobs

Going to hit 40% of jobs in 5 years the next
Is it magic beans and snake oil, eg. a scam or is it a legit threat, you can't have both
hey i’m running on solar and battery so no waste of electricity here ;)
but yeah that was it, i just noticed how here and on mastodon i read ‘ai is a scam’ and then turn my head and read ‘ai will take all our jobs’, makes for a nice whiplash effect
also it’s 4am here i’m going to sleep, appreciate the chat
