We can build tons of infrastructure for cars that didn't exist before but can't for other things anymore? Seems like society is just becoming lethargic.
No, it's just hilariously impractical if you bother to think about it for more than five seconds.

Is this a joke, or do you actually believe most people are incapable of using a computer?
I didn't write "incapable". Emphasis on "properly".

It's been happening in the USA for quite a long time. Anecdotally, the small city I grew up in, in Ohio (USA), started using cameras and some kind of computer vision to operate traffic signals 15 or 20 years ago, replacing inductive loops. I used to hang out sometimes with one of the old-timers who dealt with it as part of his long-time street department job. I asked him about that system once (over a decade ago now)…

Whoa that’s cool. I’ll check it out, thanks!
Thanks! Let me know if you give it a shot and I’ll be happy to help you with anything.

Yes. I can't speak to the USA, as I'm from Canada, but I've had conversations with traffic engineers from another city about it and increasingly seen them in my own city. Here's an example of one of the systems: https://www.iteris.com/oursolutions/pedestrian-cyclist-safet... They're obviously more common in higher density areas with better cycling infrastructure. The inductive loops are effectively useless with carbo…
how can you tell that the cameras you are looking at are changing lights? is there an indication on them?

> cameras are being used to detect traffic and change lights? i don't think thats happening in USA. Has been for the better part of a decade. Google `Iteris Vantage` and you will see some of the detection systems.

What sorts of automations were you able to get working with the Chrome dev tools MCP?
Not OP, but in my experience, Jest and Playwright are so much faster that it's not worth doing much with the MCP. It's a neat toy, but it's just too slow for an LLM to try to control a browser using MCP calls.

Ok, but you didn’t define what “proper” use of a computer means to you, which leaves the entire thing open to interpretation. I would say practically everyone is capable of using a computer to complete an enormous range of tasks. Is this not “proper” usage in your opinion?
