1800 people have already been "lost track of" (read: murdered until proven otherwise) in the Everglades concentration camp.

The biggest concern with that setup is how inefficient it is to reach the Pacific Northwest region, LA is a serious bottleneck on top of being a common endpoint in and of itself. A line that goes straight to either Seattle or Portland from the Northeast simplifies things a lot.

The most efficient would be 3 major east/west lines, Boston to Seattle, DC to San Francisco, and Atlanta to LA, connected by a series of north/south lines to form a grid. On the east coast, just extend the Acela down to Atlanta.

Competitors tend to do that. Originally Firefox used traditional version numbering up until 3.0, but then when Chrome came out with their numbering scheme of incrementing the main version number with every minor update, Firefox followed suit. It's the same reason Microsoft called the Xbox successor the Xbox 360, if the average consumer would see the Xbox 2 next to the PS3, they'd at least subconsciously think the PS3 was more advanced.

Eventually any actual websites will be difficult to access, all information will be filtered through LLMs, centrally controlled by a handful of megacorps with the final say on the information you find.

Because it doesn't have any understanding of the rules of chess or even an internal model of the game state, it just has the text of chess games in its training data and can reproduce the notation, but nothing to prevent it from making illegal moves, trying to move or capture pieces that don't exist, incorrectly declaring check/checkmate, or any number of nonsensical things.

Well, "what is he smoking?" kind of has the same implication.

I worry that if it reaches a point where he's genuinely worried about being deposed, he wouldn't hesitate to drop nukes on American civilians.
