    I think that’s a conversation we’ll be having sooner than we think

    In France (and I’m sure everywhere else) the government is too busy giving money and resources to AI companies while ignoring climate change, funding ICE car companies who are fighting the evil EV car makers, and not putting public chargers for those EVs. I wish it was a joke or a meme but this is exactly how I see it. We’ll be in deep shit in 10 years, massively fucked in 20 years, and I hope I’ll be dead in 30 years to see Mad Max IRL.
