In Germany now we have climate catastrophe on the doorstep but most of the city is still subservient to far too big combustion engine cars. 🤷🏽

When will the break come and how gentle will it be?

@alper they will just switch to big combustion engine boats 🙂

Business meetings exist to share information and coordinate activity: this shit enables you to be apparently present in all but actually not engaged with any. If your calendar is triple-booked then your organization is under-resourced and needs more people, not more AI. Or it's holding unnecessary meetings to make management feel better about being surrounded by minions, in which case it needs to fire the executives responsible.

@cstross I am fine with this, if we reach a point where only AIs are going to meetings.

Next Sunday we have European Elections ( ) in Berlin and this time round I—like many around me—have no idea what to vote for.

Here’s a fast and loose treatment of a bunch of the political parties that are on the ballot here.

For me it's still the best option according to Wahl-o-mat, Volt being second.
But I'm voting in Spain and am undecided.

Here the options are between nationalists, independistas, populists, extreme right, extreme left, alliances that have everything and nothing, ...
Not easy!

Street Wars: Have E-Bikes Made New York City a ‘Nightmare’? https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/27/nyregion/street-wars-e-bikes.html?smid=nytcore-android-share the real problem is cars

cdamian,

@joelepstein
I was in New York two weeks ago.
Things I noticed: too many, too noisy, too dirty cars and trucks
Things I didn't notice: annoying cyclists

The nice thing is that the speed of the cars is pretty low, which makes them less dangerous. Drivers were also pretty good at giving way to pedestrians.

Just saw this via the London Reconnections blog and, oh my god, I think you could not do a worse job of redesigning the tube map if you tried.

“Paint all the lines the same colour. Send a train into London centre from Zone 6. Which identically coloured line does it emerge from on the other side? Fuck knows. Good luck!”

I mean, look at Oxford Circus? Which are the through lines? No? Me neither.

And this is promoted as “accessible”. God help us all.

@goatsarah there are some nice ideas, like the thickness of the lines (not that I noticed), and different stations and connections.
Losing the proper colours is obviously not going to work for anyone.
Who cares if something is overground or underground anyway?

Not enough people realize that the "Turing Test" as originally presented was "can a gay English man in 1945 tell the difference between a chatbot and a femme-coded woman" over a teletype connection.

(Turing was very gay and had a sex-segregated education and then work life: he basically didn't know women and his alienation is palpable. But today's techbros don't have any such excuse, and the emphasis on femme-coded AI is ... telling.)
