  • That’s potentially not great for survival outside of a nuclear blast.

    To be fair, it might do an okay job protecting them from one part of a nuke if it was a moderate distance away, like the middle of LA wouldn’t be.
    A couple miles out the shockwave will be basically horizontal, so it being buried would potentially help you skip that part. That just leaves “firestorm making it an oven”, “ground vibration making the roof fall on you”, “suffocating due to no air circulation”, “fallout falling through the ceiling hole making you sick”, “dying of dehydration before enough fallout clears to leave”, and “sitting in a dark room with a bucket of your own feces for the rest of your life because your ladder broke”.

    A desk might actually have been a better plan.



  • Just… Why would they bother to hide a bunker a Washington DC? They’d just say they built a bunker in Washington DC. I don’t think anyone would be particularly shocked that they built a bunker for Congress in the general capitol region.
    Just like no one was shocked that they evacuated Congress through the capitol buildings egress tunnels on January six.

    I think the more surprising thing would be if they put a bunker under a prominent statue that would be a target in its own right.

    Not that they don’t have secret bunkers, I just don’t think they would put it under a target directly adjacent to where everyone would expect a bunker to be.


  • For a brief moment in the beta for all this, it basically just summarized the top two or three reputable results, and attached a link to where it got the data.

    They should have just left it at that, and not started mixing in random blogs and social media sites.
    The ability to summarize the Wikipedia article and a random university professors page where they list every fact known to man about pine trees or something was actually helpful.

    If I want the AIs best guess about how to fuck up a pizza, I just go to the site where I can ask it. Bad advice when searching is just shit.
    A tldr for “what is turpentine” is actually helpful.
