I'm even more concerned that current models are not trained to say no, or to even recognize most failure modes. "Is there a potential cancer in this X-Ray" may produce a "possibly" just because that's how the m

Grok seems to work faster, and especially in the context of twitter it actually is routinely used, and pulls from current events quite quickly.

Credit where it's due, Grok is currently the only model that has near-realtime updates from/access to a waterhose of data, and is casually used by regular people all the time. I don't think there's a single thread on X

I've responded, but you decided to dismiss everything. It's a fascinating psychological and sociological question: why Americans think that the only possible state of things is the current one as it exists in the US, and why they

> Sure, 200 or 300, why not? Because this creates a huge backlog and queues of cars. Even at 4 people per car a moderate 16k-person event needs 4 000 trips from the stadium in a short time. Also because this creates a huge pressure on th

No, the pitch isn't that. And yet in the US inevitably people will always demand to know government subsidies for everything but cars, and will pretend that alternative modes of transport are only proposed as a full replacement of cars

Northeast Corridor 2200 trains a day, 15 million passengers a year, 14% of intercity traffic, replacing most air travel between some of the cities.

Have you calculated profitability of vehicles after government has funded all the infrastructure for them?

How many private vehicles do you need to provide mass transit away from a mass event such as a stadium, or a concert?

Because the US is soooooo exceptional, right? And yet the moment you provide actual proper train connections the lines are successful and profitable (see e.g. Northeast Corridor.

There are lots of potential high-traffic corridors, and the US is still incapable of serving them.

Passengers are not freight. And freight is one of the reasons US railways suck for passengers.
