The line, la barre habitée en plein desert, dystopique, "écologique", ploutocrate, a du plomb dans l'aile

il y aurait eu des diazine de milliers de mort durant ce chantier qui n'a servit à rien. Tous des réfugies.
bravo la team!

Weil sich wohl doch keine neun Millionen Menschen finden werden, die in einem 170 Kilometer langen, 200 Meter breiten und 500 Meter hohen Glaskäfig mitten in der Wüste hocken wollen, überlegt man jetzt in Saudi-Arabien, die Bauruine von #TheLine in ein Datacenter für Künstliche Intelligenz umzuwidmen.
Gut, an Intelligenz scheint es bei dem Projekt #NEOM ja bislang eher gemangelt zu haben. Vielleicht hilft es ja. Viel Spaß mit der Kühlung!

Saudi-Arabien fährt das Megaprojekt NEOM zurück: Arbeiten an der Kilometerstadt „The Line“ werden stark reduziert, Fokus und Budget werden umgeschichtet. 🏗️🇸🇦 Beobachter sehen damit die Zukunftsvision ins Wanken geraten.

Nun ist eine weitaus kleinere Version von The Line geplant. Auch andere Neom-Projekte werden überdacht. #sfcd #science #theline #neom
The Line gescheitert: Wie es j... -
@NewtonMark I think I know a way to save NEOM/The Line.
Here's how the Crown Prince, Beloved Leader of Saudi, can not only deliver, but enhance his vision of a ~180 kilometre long city of the future.
First, we need to save some money. So let's start by taking the roof off the travel corridor.
Instead of "the line", I call this cost-reduced version "the street".
In this configuration, you have an open-air "street" with separate "buildings" on either side.
And sure, a single long east-west street is certainly visionary.
But you know what's better than one? Twenty.
That's right, we'll have 20 streets running east to west.
But why stop there?
Let's bisect the 20 east to west streets with 20 more running north to south.
That's 40 streets in total.
If we divide the 180 km total length between these 40 streets, we're left with a length of 4.5 kilometres each.
I call this vision "the grid".
Now, because each of these streets are now 4.5 kilometres long, we can travel from one end of each street to the other far more quickly than a maglev could travel 180 kilometres.
And we'll do this in a futuristic pod-like vehicle powered by renewable electric power.
I call these vehicles: Trams.
So you'll have a "network" of these "trams" running along this "grid" of 4.5 kilometre long "streets". With 20 "streets" running north to south and 20 "streets" running east to west.
Best of all, instead of being one continuous building, in this configuration the buildings are divided up into "blocks" that can be developed as people move in!
I know it's a bold and futuristic vision.
But in this "grid" configuration, with streets, blocks, and trams, I believe the Crown Prince can deliver his vision of a city of the future.

Interesting 25min documentary about the many glaring conceptual/environmental/social issues of "The Line", the monstrous, 180km long, dystopian megacity being planned/built in Saudi Arabia...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-jtIRvmbsk
(Some minor argumentative/perspective issues re: traditional cities, i.e. urban sprawl and traffic problems are only indirectly a result of century old organic growth, but also caused by things which could be changed for the better with sufficient political/cultural will, like updating zoning laws, limiting real estate speculation, limiting privatized spaces, investing in decent public transport/infrastructure, supporting working from home etc. — none of it new...)
If I learned one thing from working with generative design for years, nature always wins, in the end... One can try to impose artificial constraints for some temporary, local improvements, but top-down designed solutions (usually by a small group of people who think they know it all) hardly ever stand the test of time, or the test of chaos and unpredictable events... Natural systems and those designed to be (or rather assembled) bottom-up are much more amenable to these forces of change... In the case of projects like "The Line", it's just upsetting how many resources & lives will literally be wasted for these kinds of vanity projects... Ozymandias says hi!

Underpass Artists
Two young men decorate the underpass on the Line in Blackrock this evening with spray paint. There are fabulous murals on both walls of the underpass!
Fun fact: spray paint, the tool of choice here, was invented in 1949 by Edward Seymour, on the suggestion of his wife, Bonnie.

In recent days, #TheLine has spoken of the need for #Canada to go “full psycho.” To “Make ‘Canada’s back’ a threat.” And, specifically, to recapture a #Canadian #Identity that was, not long ago, widely shared — Canadians as scary and even dangerous.

In a newly published book, a law professor argues that #AI agents will eventually be given some form of personhood - and some researchers agree.

Alex Wolff Talks ‘The Line,’ Touring with Billie Eilish and Working With Christopher Nolan: “It Spoils You”

I did not really pay attention to the Neom / The Line project, the basic idea was so “ambitious” that it made Musk's plans realistic in comparison. I assumed this was just a bunch of slides and CGI renderings, to show that Saudia Arabia was doing _something_.
Turns out I was wrong, they are building that thing, and discovering that logistics and building physical stuff is hard, and scaling back their ambitions by two orders of magnitude. #neom #theline #megaprojects

Ok, I thought #LucidMotors is funded by #Dubai, which would be questionable, at best, but I was wrong.
They're funded by #MohammedBinSalman (#MBS) as part of his 2030 campaign for #SaudiArabia, like #NEOM's #TheLine project, and many others.
So, even if I had the money, I couldn't buy the two #LucidAir models I lust after, the Grand Touring for every day use and road trips, and the Sapphire for going out on the town.
Poor ass #consumerist problems 😢

Another great investigative piece from #BBCEye.
“Col Alenezi, who went into exile in the UK last year, says the clearance order he was to enact was for al-Khuraybah, 4.5km south of #TheLine. The villages were mostly populated by the Huwaitat tribe ... He said the April 2020 order stated the Huwaitat was made up of "many rebels" and "whoever continues to resist [eviction] should be killed, so it licensed the use of lethal force against whoever stayed in their home". -

ever yearning topics for #memes, i stumbled over an other acceptable target; #saudiarabias #neom project. the concept of #theline sounds like taken from some dystopian #scifi book.
for the latter, i very much enjoyed #elhoyo #theplatform (to my knowledge #netflix has it).
and if you dont have access, #horror has tradition in #spain, here a consolidation price, takes a bit of patience in the beginning, but worth the while;
