I don't know enough about AI to decide if the Victorian rail mania analogy holds or not.
What's worrying is that I suspect that many of those talking up AI are not that much better equipped than I am to make an informed assessment .

Changing Industrial Infrastructure
A few days ago I described seeing thousands of European Starlings on and near a rail dock. Well, maybe there were only hundreds, not thousands, but they were very noisy so it felt like thousands. At the time, I didn’t pay much attention to the structure they were perched on, so today I went back to take a closer look and, to my dismay, all the birds had gone. There was one solitary crow cawing loudly, but otherwise the building was bird-free.
I decided to take some more pictures of the rail dock because it seems now to be disused. At least, it doesn’t look as though it has been used for some time; grass is growing on the wooden boards, and the metal towers need a coat of paint. I should add that I have no idea what this building is formally called, so I am calling it a rail dock with gantries. It may have once served the now-defunct coal industry, and it may still serve the lumber industry.
What I saw today contrasts quite considerably from the satellite image on Google Maps. There it shows a lot of lumber in floating booms waiting to be loaded on to freight cars, a couple of dozen trucks and trailers in the parking lot, and a similar number of cars parked nearby. None of those things was there today. Instead, the city has placed several (maybe thirty) lovely flower planter beds around the empty parking areas, and a city worker with water tanker truck was watering the plants as I passed by.
The rail line connects to a railroad freight yard nearby where there are multiple train tracks and I wonder where they all go to. It did not look very busy when I passed by. There must be an opportunity here for tourism to nearby parks and to other cities on Vancouver Island, but currently it is not set up for passenger traffic.
Now I am wondering about the history and the fate of this structure. As its original purpose seems to be diminished or gone, perhaps it will be abandoned. I don’t know who is the owner or if the city has responsibility for it. If any reader can add insight into this, I will appreciate it.

“And remember that you, as a regular person, can understand all of this. These people want you to believe this is black magic, that you are wrong to worry about the billions wasted or question the usefulness of these tools. You are smarter than they reckon and stronger than they know, and a better future is one where you recognize this, and realize that power and money doesn’t make a man righteous, right, or smart.”

Early on, mission 741NT, the qualification flight of the 60 million cubic feet balloon transporting onboard the BOOMS experiment for detecting microburst has been terminated at about 15:55 UTC.
Landing occurred 16:40 UTC southeast of the small community of Taloyoak, in the Boothia Peninsula, Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut, Canada.
Total flight time was 3 days and 2 hours.

As of as 16:00 UTC on July 16th, 2024 this is the location of the two balloons in flight of the NASA balloon campaign in ESRANGE.
BIG60 is chasing down SUNRISE III despite the difference of almost three days between launches. That's due to the speed the BIG60 gained flying at 156 kft against the 120 kft average altitude of SUNRISE III.
The Solar telescope mission will be terminated in the next few hours.

As of 4:30 UTC on July 14, 2024 this is the location of the three NASA stratospheric balloons currently in flight.
A recovery team from the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility is currently waiting in the city of Yellowknife to fly to the landing spots of the payloads and balloons in the next few days.

Six hours into the flight, the BIG 60 Aerostar balloon carrying the BOOMS payload reached an impressive altitude of 152.000 ft (46.3 kilometers). As the Swedish Space Corp. press release correctly points out, this is the largest balloon ever launched from Europe.
Earlier on, the ascending balloon was visible from as far as Vannøya Island in Norway (using a telescope).

The payload carried by the BIG60 balloon as a mission of opportunity is the Ballon Observation of Microburst Studies or BOOMS, an instrument developed at the Department of Physics of the Montana State University.
Main goal of BOOMS is to observe flashes of X-ray light that sporadically appear in the atmosphere of Earth's poles, known as microbursts, which occur when high-energy electrons collide with atmospheric gases.

Now underway at ESRANGE are the launch operations for the fourth and last balloon flight of the NASA campaign.
The unusually large flight train is due to the enormous size of the balloon.
The so-called "Big 60" has a volume of 60 million cubic feet and is capable of reaching altitudes well beyond 150.000 feet. The balloon is in the process of qualification to be part of NASA's inventory.
