It's... Well, it's 100% fraud.

But they're rich, so it's just a smart business move

The stupid thing here is that mass transit, pedestrians, and cyclists are all way better for small businesses than huge parking lots and enforced car dependency. There's lots of studies that show that car dependency really only benefits big box stores and big corporate chains. Fucking dumbasses.

Not if your business is car dealership or gas station

[-] girthero@lemmy.world 35 points 1 month ago

I wouldn't classify most as small business anyway.

It's because it requires removal of 138 parking spaces.

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Right, but there's lots of studies that show that those parking spaces are actually much more beneficial to everyone- business included- as bike lanes, bus lanes, seating stalls, and nearly anything else besides parking.

People say right-wingers aren't creative. But look at all the different ways they've found to say 'lies'!

The Petty Bourgeoisie.

As with any technology, it's how it's used that counts.

[-] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Or the purpose of creation. Give me something actually useful that actually solves problems please jfc.

AI doesn’t kill people. People kill people!

AI does, however, kill polar bears.

[-] Sibshops@lemm.ee 20 points 1 month ago

Wouldn't businesses want more people, tho?

Businesses ≠ Business owners

[-] tyler@programming.dev 16 points 1 month ago

He adds that the space issue would be compounded by Uber and Instacart drivers, who need somewhere to park while they pick up orders for customers.

Maybe with the bus lanes your new traffic from getting bus loads of people to your doorstep will mean that people don’t need to get food delivery as much.

After the reveal today of Google Veo 3 and now this... We are truly and utterly fucked

[-] Chip_Rat@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Another example of AI putting real humans out of work. Up until recently I used to to get paid good money to ride my bike in loops past survey cameras while wearing different hats. Now, my phone never rings and I've had to slowly sell off my collection to make rent. Even if I do get another job offer, I'm down to like 7 hats, most clients I deal with expect twice that many hats for the money they spend.

Does she know...? Does she know she's an ad?
