I saw a good article on c/upliftingnews about AI improving traffic signal controllers. It’s good and all, I just can’t help but think of the “look at what they need to have a fraction of our power” meme while reading it

    What did you expect from a community called “fuck_cars”?

      I mean I actually kinda agree with them. I don’t like vacuum chambers and some of the stuff on here really does ignore the practicality of people’s situations.

      I’m on here for the good arguments and laughs, not getting in so deep that I think everyone can and should sell their car tomorrow.

        I own a car and am resentful of the fact that they are pretty much mandatory in my country, but I don’t think this community is overly pessimistic or a vacuum chamber.

        That said, departure announcements like the one we are talking about here look like attempts to stir up drama rather than attempts at an actual conversation.

        It’s not a vacuum chamber. All you gotta do is step outside in 99% the USA to get the other aide of the story, as we all do every day
