    Calling electric cars part of a hype cycle feels a little disingenuous to me. Either we get rid of cars, society ends, or all cars go electric. Considering that option 1 causes option 2 unless there’s a revolutionary tech breakthrough, I think it’s safe to assume electric cars are the future. Also I don’t forsee a peak in hype for them, there’s generally a lot of resistance to electric cars

    Aside from the random dig at electric cars, I largely agree with this article. I don’t think the chicken coop machine learning example is quite clear to non-technical people, but I think it’s probably appropriate for the lemmy userbase
