  • OK. So bicycles have, as the name suggests, two wheels. The front wheel can be rotated for steering, while the rear wheel is for acceleration. You accelerate by alternately pushing down the pedals located approximately in the middle. Force is transferred from the pedals to the rear wheel usually via a chain, but other solutions, like a belt or axle, exist.
    Since the wheels are in line the construction is prone to tipping to the side, so keeping the balance while sitting on it takes some practice.
    But once you get the hang of it it’s one of the most versatile modes of transportation, with specialised bicycles (or “bikes” for short) for off-road use, extra light ones for racing, etc.

  • I know they’re not synonymous. But at some point someone left the marketing monkeys in charge of communication.
    My point is that our current “AI” is inadequate at what we’re told is its purpose and should it ever become adequate (which the current architecture shows no sign of being capable) we’re in a lot of trouble because then we’ll have no way to control an intelligence vastly superior to our own.

    So our current position on that journey is bad and the stated destination is undesirable, so it would be in our best interest to stop walking.
