it is kinda funny how 99% of America's freight rail network relies on locomotives originally built before the turn of the millenium. Yeah there's some new ones and most of the old ones have been rebuilt, but still. Imagine if a majority of semi trucks were just old Ford COEs with new engines in them

Paging Emile Zola.
“The whole structure of society itself will be up for some degree of debate and reconfiguration” - Sam Altman

I find it fascinating that the AI industry’s top CEOs talk casually about social upheaval as the natural consequence of the technology they’re building.

It’s such a weird flex.

As @scottjshapiro.bsky.social and I explained in our book, the U.S. has championed the prohibition on territorial conquest for close to a century. This commitment has led to a more peaceful and prosperous world.

Trump is now threatening to throw that all away.
