This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

If the writer’s eyes light up when asked, “why did the character do that?” then it’s real.

It’s 2050 and a teen girl is torrenting a .tar.gz file of all the consciousnesses of all the tech bros who uploaded themselves into the cloud in a bid for immortality and modding them into The Sims 4

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:

"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."

No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

Le Monde qui se met à parler tech c'est croquignolet. L'IA qui "commence avec ChatGPT", nVidia t'es ki. Le début des travaux sur les réseaux neuronaux date des années 50, le "transformer" (le "T" de GPT) c'est 2017. Nvidia est cotée en bourse depuis 1999. Je sais pas si je dois rire ou chialer.
