  • what? no. it’s actually the complete opposite. building cities UP like NYC is far worse. it creates massive suburbs that serve the cities and creates long commutes, disengagement from community, farmland alienated from populated land, and so on. it’s essentially the reason we have this problem to begin with.

    In Asia many cities are sprawled outwards rather than upwards, so business, residential, and farming are always nearby. you always get everything you need closer at hand.

    why the fuck does anyone want suburbs lol





  • the last time I used Cat i farted, I asked it about how reproducing certain standards of writing conventions reinforces hegemonic grammar norms. it acknowledged that it’s essentially a tool of linguistic oppression and that there could be consequences for non-standard dialects, but there’s not much it can do because its training data is mostly standardized english

    then I asked it to repeat that in AAVE and it was both horrifyingly racist and also just poorly executed. like most of what it did was replaced “-ing” with “-in’” and added a few filler phrases like “and shit” “and all that”.

    ai cannot currently convey non std dialects

    alls ya gotta do is talk like a rube
