most people don't want this shit. the few that do have other problems and their reliance of LLMs is very telling. the LLM industry has done a very good job of convincing bosses and their bootlickers that LLMs are the future, while actual futurists have been warning that "AI" is going to kill us all.

Growing up I loved Morrissey. Massive influence. I defended “National Front Disco,” “Bengali in Platforms,” etc. in good faith. I said his inflammatory comments were intended to provoke thought. But he became a vocal fascist sympathizer and I jumped ship. Just like that.

Point being …

“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces.

Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.”

Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.

Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.
