      Remember when the segway was a mysterious to-be-revealed “it” that we were going to design our cities around in the future?

      I 'member.

      if hover boards were legit real you’d have so many injuries the company would be sued into insolvency.

      already starting to see this with ebikes… massive increases in head trauma numbers since they became popular. mostly from old people buying a $5000 e bike and then riding it w/o a helmet at 15-20mph.

        I’m so sad we’re not seeing this with AI. The injuries we get, the insolvency not so much. Fuck.
