Man the AI folks really wrecked everything. Reminds me of when those scooter companies started just dumping their scooters everywhere without asking anybody if they wanted this.

At least scooters did something useful for the environment.
Did they? A lot of then were barely used, got damaged or vandalized, etc. And when the companies folded or communities outlawed the scooters, they end up as trash. I don't believe for a second that the amount of pollutants and greenhouse gasses saved by usage is larger than the amount produced by manufacturing, shipping and trashing all those scooters.
perhaps germane to this thread, I think the scooter thing was an investment bubble. it was easier to burn investment money on new scooters than to collect and maintain old ones. until the money ran out.
