Gets a lot more expensive when there's corruption and intentional delays so some extract more money for as long as it keeps going on.

A few months ago The Laughing Auditor ( https://www.youtube.com/@thelaughingauditor/videos ) had spoken on the street to someone who happened to work on HS2 (alas, I failed to find the specific video again), and he said it was nothing like any other job he had ever worked on. It was like they (the upper bosses and politicians) didn't want to complete it.

Did your LLM bilge take that kind of thing into account? Could be work asking it about that, and to reconsider the situation.

They generally can't parse information from videos from my understanding. It's decently well sourced, and just like the other person said, a quick google gave wildly different opinions on prices, so this is a great starting point.

Even our friendly neighborhood train autist gave zero pricing lmfao.
