Highway inevitability is a fallacy. They could've built a railway.

A railway would have created a gov't/corporate monopoly on human transport.
Highways democratized the freedom of transportation.
They are not exclusive
TIL, no one moved anywhere until American highways were built.
They moved slower, yes.

This is the single most American thing I’ve seen on this terrible website.

What a ridiculous idea.
Highways restrict movement to those with a license, a car, and do not care about pollution or anyone around them.
In no way did highways restrict movement. They may have not given everyone the exact same freedom of movement but it did, in fact, increase the freedom of movement of the populaces as a whole.

My experience in the States, staying at a hotel 100m away from a restaurant and not being able to reach it by foot, says otherwise...
The world is going to be VERY different 3 years from now. Some of it will be bad, some of it will be good. But it is going to happen no matter what OpenAI does.
