@henry I'd like to know when's the last time he saw a horse in real life.

@henry There is some appeal to the thought that if AI can really do all the nasty work, we can all go do fun stuff. But apparently capitalism doesn't work that way...

@henry do you have a source for this? this is amazing.

@henry Glue certainly was cheaper for a decade or so.

@henry lol this makes it sound like horses are like Mr. Horse in Ren & Stimpy and just living like a human because he doesn't have to pull people around anymore. These people are just so, so bad at metaphors.

@TheOneSwit @jef @henry
I think that was later
I think frozen lasagna wasn't a thing yet when a majority of horses were killed because cars replaced them

there where two world wars in those times.

That graph is *also* a retort to anyone arguing that exponential growth in the past will reliably continue

Twofer!

@henry this AI bro should’ve used pigeons instead of horses, they are definitely free to crap on everything, including this AI bro. I’m somewhat unsure he likes to be crapped on

I’m not judging anyone’s kinks

your auntifa liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦

also, he looks at working class people as horses? this is classic, “tell me you are a holding hard to a caste system without telling me you are at the top of a caste system”

There are some stupid motherfuckers in charge of things now.

@henry Well, not all of the horse. Their asses are, however, in charge of the US government currently.

For far to many people, the "point of going to school" is to be sorted into the bin where you get guaranteed high income.

Like, none of the actual education matters, it's the sorting, which means grades and things.

I always kind of knew this, but it really hit home when my terrible summer session decision theory class at USC had some masters student do a decision analysis on which luxury car his daddy should buy him when he graduated.

This joke predates the automobile, and I love it.
