LLMs (I refuse to call them AI, as there's no intelligence to be found) are simply random word sequence generators based on a trained probability model. Of course they're going to suck at math, because they're not actually calculating anything, they're just dumping what their algorithm "thinks" is the most likely response to user input.

It's worse than that. Companies are legally required to follow shareholder interests. That's not that big of an issue with unlisted companies since their shareholders are most likely directly involved with the company or at least share a similar vision to those that are, but any publicly traded company is going to be solely focused on "line go up lol" whether they want to or not.

From a technological point, yes. That being said, there are some complications. The US runs double-stacked intermodal freight so clearance is a concern, first of all. It's doable, in fact India has many electrified lines that allow for double-stacked intermodal freight, but it does add a little to the cost and effort. The second issue is, unfortunately, cost, but not because it's outright "too expensive". Rather, it would eat too much into the short-term quarterlies of the various publicly traded rail companies that own a vast majority of the US's rail lines during the installation. And as publicly traded companies, even if one of the major rail companies wanted to spend the money to electrify, they would get sued by their shareholders for doing so because there's no immediate return on profits. And the final issue? NIMBYs already hate rail as-is, they'd hate the overhead lines even more.

So, yeah, a lot of challenges to electrification unique to the US, almost all of them political in nature. It would be really nice to put in electrified rail again (late PRR and New Haven were almost fully electrified but most of that was ripped out after the Penn Central merger. Seriously, everyone likes to rag on New Haven for screwing that up but honestly the evidence all points to the New York Central's management team being the real culprits).

For a moment there I thought we were back on Reddit...

This is really interesting, as it also has implications for life elsewhere in the solar system. Scientists have been debating back and forth whether life could exist in Europa's oceans below its icy surface. Things had been leaning towards "unlikely" due to the reduced light being that far out from the sun, but if non-photosynthetic biological oxygen production is possible on Earth, it could also be possible on Europa.

To be fair, if Metaverse did integrate something like this they would definitely record telemetry data "for development purposes".

Are you seriously going to say that when Chewbacca is one of the most well known sci-fi aliens and is a literally walking carpet of floof? And in a similar Star Warsy vein, what about all the Bothans that died to get the Death Star plans before Disney decided to retcon that and say that there was a defector on the engineering team instead?

Anyway, what about servals? As in the adorable spotty leggy jumpy cats that have kinda gone viral in the cat memes scene recently?
