I am no longer a programmer by profession but increasingly the computer is a place i go to and feel gross. I hate interacting with chatbots, even if they can solve my problems.

It's either this or basically no more open spaces on the internet in my mind? Even stuff like wikipedia? In my head we dont actually manage to do something like that so I guess enjoy it while it lasts?

We are slowly reaching divine comedy levels of ironic tragedy. Metastatic Hitler contrarians in a box and, soon enough, deployable on consumer grade hardware. Truly, a breakthrough for human cognition and civilizational advancement.

This is the first thing that's really made me pause. All the things that are going to need to change now to deal with the volume of low quality engagement that can now happen. I really don't see this ending well at all

Park Row can get pretty congested as is? Is there anything commissioned or publicly available on the increased traffic around the hospital?

Bringing it back i guess my query is over whether the american local provisions or participation in areas with a pro yimby sentiment are different or if you think that the primary factor is race to the exlcusion of all else?

I think (b) phrases it well. I am unhappy with my local provision and planning objections appear to be the most efficient vehicle for civic pariticpation in my frame of reference
