...and it's crap tech from the 70s.

E.g. Wikipedia is community-driven because people contribute individually without a lot of coordination and without anybody telling contributors what to do, same for game mods. I guess by "corporate-driven" you mean there is a hierarchy and people whose job it is to do what management says e.g. Wikipedia foundation runs the infrastructure that hosts the community content and the same for most games. I'm not sure I'd call it "corporate driven" unless it has board members and investors demanding a profit such that they influence the decisions downstream, like reddit.

Yes, I use those stop buttons, but sometimes 5 bus lines don't get enough use and just get closed down, but creating a line that goes through all those stops takes too long. Yes, it's a compromise somewhere between a taxi and a bus. I'm imagining single-user taxis, but there are countries where multiple users can occupy the same taxi. In that case I agree with you that it's similar to a taxi.

Not satire, I'd use this service if I had access to it.

Usually the bus would not circulate empty and conversely I've been on fixed bus routes where there were 3 passengers, so what you are saying is very debatable, the key here is flexibility. The flexibility of on-the-go bus route rerouting has huge potential for lower density areas like suburbs or off-peak hours or as a complementary service, but I'm willing to listen to counterarguments to this.

You can't be "fuck cars" and simply tell people who don't live in cities to get fucked, you need to present alternatives and this is a start, maybe with smaller buses or vans, depending on live demand estimates.

It's a bit like the whole "infrastructure ain't sexy" argument. As the chief executive administrator, you're paid to "strategize", when sometimes, you just need to keep the engines running and the bills paid, but in today's society that's not praised. You need to capture people and investors' ADHD-span, make megalomanous plans that can't possibly ever come true or be some guy who fires everyone to attempt to grow profit margins.

Is this Bard (the one in the article) or old chatGPT?

I don't know whether to think it's a miracle that they haven't shut down my email addresses or worry about how much money they're making off reading my email compared with all the good products they deemed unprofitable.

Yea, I'm still using the openAI one and I'm very surprised google can't match it, with the reams of data it collects and has stored over decades. There is something between model design and data quantity that openAI got right and I'm not sure exactly what it was, but I need to find a better name for it than "data cleaning" or "hyperparameter tuning".

I've tried it and so far it's a bit underwhelming. Looks like no model so far can get close to the initial shock I had when chatGPT was released. They're all nerfed to hell and have lots of guardrails.

You don't sound like somebody who's ever stepped inside a bus. What safety features are there in place to stop somebody walking/driving to burgle a house? You can get robbed anywhere, in a bus, in the street, anyway, what safety features do you have for that? This is such a shit take and I'm surprised it would be any honest person's first reaction. I hope you're a bot.

PS: you may want to get off the internet, criminals may use it to rob you.

And nobody should be driving cars, because criminals will use them to run you over or worse: rob you.

Well, that makes a lot of sense now :) thanks.
