I don't know, I don't think I'll put that intent on the writers. I think they genuinely see problems coming up, based on current problems of their day, and write the exaggerated society that spawns from that.
I don't think it's predictive programming. I just think the antihumanists are so fucking retarded they embrace such things as guiding principles instead of warnings.
You're not losing any rights, conspiracy therapist. Driving is a historically white privilege. This is just a $200 tax for each non-ai drive away from your 15 minute city. Blacks, trannys, recent college grads and other presumable democrat voters will be issued grants and forgivable loans to help them adjust.
Jk. I am all for the sit back and relax, 150 mph enabled ai car future. Just doubt it'll happen in our lifetime. The ai taxi cars in cali appear to suck ass. I think a future where pajeet is monitoring 3-4 ai cars is more likely. With current speed limits/rules in place for a while.

Yup. Again, it's not like I even hate the concept, if it were executed correctly. I just can't currently see a plausible future where the gains outweigh the risks.
If it were authors of books and like I can give some leeway and not place the blame squarely on them.
But I assume we're talking mainly about film, in which I tend to criticise the work as a whole. Because even if writers are innocent, they still have to answer to (((producers)))
I just assumed books, but yeah. Still, even in film, even in dystopias, the heroes usually buck against the trend. If you're in a world where you're not allowed/expected to drive, and you're the hero...God dammit, you'll drive anyway. Because you're human, and you value freedom. I can't think of a version of this trend where the protagonist just sits back and takes it.
But yeah, I get that point - the hero is the one to buck trend.
I just still think that the initial impact in films - of the setting, how it's presented, the default state of consciousness... That's all dystopian and I think that repeatedly shoving that in our faces does some rewiring in our brains to eventually accept those visions of the world.
Seen it happen so many times when Hollywood adapts such stories into their (producers') visions
Predictive programming, normalising, etc.
There's a reason why in many sci fi dystopias, the world is already presented in such a bad state by default

i'd rather it be a tool to help, not a tool to control.
i'm sure those in wheelchairs would love a car that could automatically load and drive them around.

Ah OK good to have cleared that up.
