- ramraj07 10mo agoI had to look up indolence. At least for the time being im not indolent enough not to look up such things I suppose.
- polyomino 10mo agoLooks like it's GAIA by Marco Cochrane, I remember seeing it out in the desert. It looks like it might not be related to Waymo and just on the adjacent property
- schoen 10mo agoThanks, I was assuming it was the same artist as the one at the Embarcadero, and that seems to be right.
- flomo 10mo agoAs an old time burner, sometimes this kind of stuff seems like a flex, like 'you had to be there, sorry pleb' from the tech exec class. Anyway I'm glad they have something there than not.

- CobrastanJorji 10mo agoI don't think the goal is indolence. The goal is freedom. We want a post-need society propped up by automation. That doesn't mean that we should spend our reclaimed time idling, though, but certainly we could.
- atonse 10mo agoThis is how I describe financial freedom. It’s not a particular number, it’s the freedom from thinking about money. And which number gets you there depends on your lifestyle. And taking a job without any consideration of pay.
- rossjudson 10mo agoIt makes me think that we need more representations of humans on and in our cities, to remind us about who they are for. We can shift a small amount of architectural scale towards the human.
- 0x38B 10mo agoReminds me of the half-buried in the sands of time sculptures in Blade Runner 2049; the surrounding self-driving auto depot only adds to the resemblance to some far off future.
