Lying to yourself is the biggest danger for trying to stay Anonymous. With enough patterns to recognize, the idea that one can hide is a delusional take.

The only way to win, is to run EVERYTHING you post through an AI that changes the tone and words used in all your online activity. But even then that may itself be a lie.

I read that and was simultaneously laughing and angry. I'd call it a load of horseshit, but that would be insulting to horseshit.

What a bunch of windbaggery. Meaningless, feckless corporate speak.

We know. They know we know. We know they know we know. They don't care.

Nothing says "fuck you" like a "well worded" press release. It was only missing the AI EM-DASH.

1) the USA is bigger than all of EU geographically. Seattle to Miami is about the same distance as London to Tel Aviv Israel.
2) Population Density. The US has huge swaths that are less dense. Between LA and SF, is basically farmland with some cities here and there. The HSR is being built right in that corredor and this is the BEST we have so far ... no trains.
3) Unions. The whole project was largely created as a make work program for Unions at prevailing wage. Which feeds the (D) party coffers exclusively.
4) Democrats. Democrats run the state. They can't blame R for anything. But they do anyways.

We have "high speed rail". They are called Airplanes. For the cost of the HSR project, California could buy every man/woman/child at least 10 Round Trip flights between any two CA airports. This does not include the cost of the train tickets, which are largely expected to exceed plane tickets for the same trip.

Unfortunately, trains have some sort of emotional capture with a group of people who don't care about such things like costs, because they are covered by taxpayers.

I can almost guarantee that the cost of this will spiral out of control and take way longer to complete than they are telling you right now.

CA High Speed Rail, was supposed to be done by now, it doesn't have a single working section, and has already ballooned its expenses. But here we are, throwing good money after bad, instead of cutting it off.

Comment Longevity (Score 5, Insightful) 45

The reason it is alive today, isn't in spite of itself. It is alive because it is exactly what it has ALWAYS been.

Functions exactly as it should.
Hasn't chased bigger metrics.
Hasn't deviated from core goals/values.
Provides service as advertised (pun intended).
Stayed out of politics.

The perfect role model for business longevity.

Just don't F it up by going AI.

What we need is more social programs. We need more anti whatever training because kids are disproportionally affected by something or another. The overweight kids need more food because obviously they are starving or something. And also, more after school programs and later start times for schools because reasons. For all this, we need more administration and testing for our students so that we can know more about what they aren't learning in pretty reports and stuff. And tech, we need more distracting tech because they don't get enough with their phones.

And taxes, we need to pay more because all these programs aren't free.

Maybe THEN we'll tackle illiteracy.

*I'm in IT for Education. Schools aren't teaching kids because the schools are distracted by everything but educating kids. Oh, they'll claim they are "trying". My dad used to say "Trying is a noisy way of doing nothing".
