@kentenmakto @henry I think it's linear, and even zero-based, but it sure looks like some weird log thing doesn't it.
Edit: On the left side. On the right, no idea.
@jef @henry Damn me, it *is* linear. It's just a) seeing exponential notation in that context is weird and b) when you're graphing growth and, uh, ungrowth, you just expect a semi-log graph.
("Three data points will almost always form a straight line on either a linear, semi-log, or log-log graph. So if you only have one kind of graph paper, you should only take two measurements.")

@henry It's catchy for sure, but honestly this AI bro gives me the impression that he spends way too much time scrolling his X timeline and not enough time getting fresh air.

@Doomed_Daniel @jef @henry That might be a viable alternative for AI bros as well.
@phf @Doomed_Daniel @jef @henry I mean, Microsoft brought us "dogfooding" let's just keep this going

@henry They’re posting this specifically to troll and get other people to repost it and do free marketing for their company

@kentenmakto @jef @henry there’s some real chartcrime going on at the bottom of the y-axis scale. I assume it’s just interrupted from zero, but it means the last few datapoints are not clear.
So around 5x reduction on number of horses from peak? That’s actually far less than I’d guess.

@henry there are a similar number or more domestic horses today than there were prior to the advent of cars. If we accept his (ridiculous) assertion that they can ‘do what they want now’, is he suggesting that people who don’t need to go to school or work will have all their needs taken care of?
I mean he has to be saying that right? A domestic horse today is feed, watered, groomed, exercised and provided healthcare (and can do whatever they want apparently).
I’m interested in how the AI tech-bro communists are planning to redistribute their wealth.

@jered @kentenmakto @henry It's not though. I agree it looks janky, and for no reason, but in fact it's just linear.

@jef @jered @kentenmakto @henry Would have been slightly clearer if the 5 x 10^6 was written as 0.5 x 10^7 instead.

@henry cute that he thinks about talking horses still. Living the dream.

@ids1024 @Doomed_Daniel @jef @henry I remember seeing a post by someone that wasn't so far removed. When young people no longer have jobs due to automation, we'll just send them into space.

This is some weirdly myopic tech bro bullshit.
Advait Palwal, are the talking horses in the room with you right now?
What are they saying to you? -

You know what I really hate? Gangs of horses hanging out at the cafe all day, hogging all the tables and pooping all over the floor, because they have nowhere better to be.
@maccruiskeen @flq @Doomed_Daniel @phf @jef @henry
You let just one horse into your cafe, and the next thing you know, you have a horse cafe. -

@henry It's dumb, but I think I understand the thinking.
In the late 1800s horses were everywhere and were almost all working animals, mostly pulling heavy loads.
In 2026 the place most people will see a horse is out enjoying its life in a pasture somewhere as they drive past in their car.
