Yes you are right. But who was also right were the people that didn't want a highway built near their town because criminals could drive in from a nearby city in a stolen car commit crimes and get out of town before the police could find them.

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.

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.

What a ridiculous idea.

Highways restrict movement to those with a license, a car, and do not care about pollution or anyone around them.
