@Unixbigot That is ridiculously slow, to the point that it seems intentionally designed to make it difficult for people to cycle. I would have a tough time going that slow on a purely mechanical bicycle. I can understand having some kind of speed limit on multi-use paths, because where I live people on throttle e-bikes are regularly blasting past walkers going about 40km/h, no exaggeration. *That* is legitimately dangerous to pedestrians. But, 10kph?!!

@benfry I see scientists in various fields doing this too and it terrifies me. I think the best explanation is mental laziness, coupled with hype and a lack of understanding, and a refusal or inability, on the part of many people, to engage critically with these (or any) technologies. It's amazing how many people I have talked to who just accept LLM outputs without a second thought, listen to an explanation of why that's a bad idea, and then turn right around and do it again.

I alternate between feeling like I'm living through the events of a Philip K. Dick story and the events of a Kurt Vonnegut story. It leads me to ask the question: has anyone coined the usage of terms equivalent to "Kafkaesque" for PKD or Vonnegut? For PKD I have to assume the correct term would be "Dickish", but what about Vonnegut? Vonnegutian? Vonnegutesque? #literature #language #humor
