Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang — whose work helped propel artificial intelligence — is stressing in an Associated Press interview that society has no choice but to change in the advent of AI.
Is he suggesting that playing in the streets was something he used to do before the advent of cars? Like there were all that roads everywhere with kids just playing on them willy nilly, until one day Henry Ford met General Motor and said, “You know what we oughta do with all these fuckin’ roads?” And ever since then, kids haven’t been able to play on them any more?
Is that the version of history we’re pedaling here?
The other day, a group of kids were playing road hockey in my neighbourhood. Rather than run them over, I waited for them to pull their nets aside, then drove on. Whether he believes it or not, we can still allow kids to play in the streets. It’s probably safer for them than spending their time with AI search bots.
spent years of my childhood playing two-hand touch (american) football on streets with friends - the exercise and bonding benefits where invaluable. huang is part of whats wrong with our world.
Even if it were historically accurate, look at the absolutely depressing statement that makes it : I had to give up playing in the street to make way for cars, that’s just the way it is.
Roads have been around for thousands of years, but not really the type of roads he’s talking about. Especially since he doesn’t remember them before cars anyway.

I don’t know if using pedalling vs peddling was intentional, but it was funny
idk maybe there were roads for carriages before cars were invented? I’m not old enough to know

Neither is fucking Jensen Huang, the car was invented over 100 years ago for fuck’s sake.
