True (though the AVE also stops at Atocha, as it did back in 2004).

They also tend to carry more passengers, which means the number of victims was significantly larger than if it had been an AVE.

And yet, your prediction of a nine-eleven-like security theater didn't come to pass. 🤷‍♂️

Those are dense packed commuter trains from more than 20 years ago

So, even fucking worse when it comes to number of victims.

If you search for “bomb train” you’ll get results

I don't need to search for it, it was all over the news for months.

And yet, we got over it.

Don't jinx it.

As I said in another reply, too late, by twenty-one years.

And yet, no TSA-like bullshit.

Madrid, 2004.

Didn't cause security theater, though. 🤷‍♂️

one terrorist attack

Had one in 2004, didn't result in security theater (though its mishandling did almost certainly result in the ruling party losing the election).

You're not taking into account the fact that LLMs are an obvious dead end.

Once that bubble bursts it'll take decades before anyone invests in AI research again and for anything attached to the term “AI” to not be seen as a scam (LLMs are obviously not AI or anything close, but they're being sold as such and that's what the term will be associated with), not to mention we'll need decades to clean up all the LLM slop spillage before proper research of any kind can proceed.

What you said was valid before the well got poisoned.

Now it's extremely unlikely we'll survive long enough to get back on track.

LLM peddlers murdered the future, in the name of short term profits.

We were on track for it, but LLMs derailed that.

Now we'll have to wait for the bubble to burst, which will poison the concept of AI (since LLMs are being sold as AI despite being practically the opposite) in the minds of both users and investors for decades.

It'd probably take a couple generations for any funding for AI research to be available after that (not to mention cleaning up all the LLM slop spillage from our knowledge repositories)... but by that time we'll almost certainly be extinct due to global warming.

The LLM peddlers murdered the future for short term profits, and doomed us all in the process.

Sounds like a typical enlightened centrist.

Curiously, once you Scooby Doo their mask off they're always quite far to the right of the centre they claim to value so much.

Not everyone hates life like you do

Work isn't life.

It's the opposite of life (no, death is just its absence).

hang out with co-workers all the time

Bonding over shared trauma and Stockholm syndrome is not a good basis for a relationship (though there's probably no relationship other than you pestering them while they try to work).

Unions aren't community.

They're a necessary defence mechanism against capitalism.

Sounds horrible, glad I have no intention of bringing a child into this torturous world.
