I saw a good article on c/upliftingnews about AI improving traffic signal controllers. It’s good and all, I just can’t help but think of the “look at what they need to have a fraction of our power” meme while reading it

Sorry if it came across that way, I don’t mean it pessimistically. The improvements the article talks about are great.
I just imagine asking random people “Is a 30% reduction in traffic exciting?” And they say “Yes–BUT only if you do it with AI and high-tech stuff Otherwise I couldn’t care less”.
Imagining that kind of response is hilarious to me.
I get your point but in this case the only mental image I get when thinking about eliminating red lights when everyone uses bikes is just a big pile of crashed bikes in every intersection.
Don’t apologize. They’re being an asshole to you. They could have quietly done it without the rude comment
Hardly rude.
