[–] lime@feddit.nu 71 points 4 months ago* (21 children) centaur = brain of a man, speed of a horse. reverse centaur = brain of a horse, speed of a man. substitute horse with ai. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 21 child comments replies: [–] mcv@lemmy.zip 19 points 4 months ago Good practical examples are the car driver vs the Amazon driver. When you drive a car, you go where you want, but at the superhuman speed of a car. The Amazon driver has a computer telling them where to go, how to drive there, and even cameras to watch if you drive according to Amazon's rules. The driver has become the extension of the computer, instead of the other way around. That's a reverse centaur. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 24 points 4 months ago (18 children) Over a long enough distance, men can outrun a horse.
