beyond bonkers --- the figures are mind boggling

" The plan is for the Line to eventually have a length of 170 km (105 miles), though its initial stage, which will be finished by 2030, will be "just" 2.4 km (1.5 miles). This will still be an amazing achievement, however, and it will reach a height of 500 m (1,640 ft), with a width of 200 m (656 ft). It will be wrapped in a mirrored exterior and host an air-conditioned city of around 300,000 people with AI tech and heavy surveillance to keep an eye on how everything is running – from garbage collection to water usage. "

Messed up- who the hell would want to live in this proposed s**t hole

HS2 blew billions - here's how and why

How did HS2 manage to go so far over its original budget?

www.bbc.co.uk

"HS2 blew billions - here's how and why ....... There is no shortage of places to start when trying to make sense of what went wrong for HS2 and how for around twice the original budget we’re getting half the line that was planned. "

an article well worth a proper read .. especially as it's from HMG's own propaganda machine

this is an interesting article .... and could possibly be AI's downfall

HarmonyCloak slips silent poison into music to corrupt AI copies

Generative AI systems need to be fed huge amounts of data, with copyrighted materials often on the menu. Musicians may now have a way to fight back with HarmonyCloak, a system that embeds data into songs that can’t be picked up by human ears but will scramble AI trying to reproduce it.
