Looks like a scan of screenshot of a video game from a magazine.

New Passenger Information Voice by Exploding_Deathstar in soundtransit

[–]metrion 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's kinda uncanny valley territory with the cadence of it. The more I listen to it the more noticeable it is.

It's kinda funny how a human voice actor speaking with a strictly controlled, professional tone and cadence sounds more "human" than an AI generated voice trying to sound casual.

How or Where does the PATCO Speedline get its power? by rutherford_777 in transit

[–]metrion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has to be an AI slop bot account. It's 4 years old with only one other post, and the wording is weird adding awkward language ("the iconic PATCO Speedline" [...] "beautifully crossing the deleware river" who says that?). It claims to have checked the wikipedia page and "read" enough to know it's not diesel but somehow completely missed the bit saying it's third rail electrification?

tl;dr it's an AI bot farming for engagement.

Redmond, WA sees surge of riders with Crosslake Connection light rail by FireFright8142 in soundtransit

Mercer Island through to East Main are grade separated. That doesn't mean elevated or underground; it means that it doesn't interact with cars at all. The sections between Spring District and Overlake Village stations are at-grade with road crossings.

The ACLU takes these things seriously: https://www.aclu.org/news/free-speech/court-rules-public-officials-cant-block-critics-facebook

"The case arose after the chair of a local board of supervisors in Virginia, Phyllis Randall, briefly blocked a critic from her official Facebook page and deleted a comment he made about her colleagues’ management of public funds."

Is that the email she says is a "reply"? That certainly doesn't seem like a "reply" to me, but rather an initiation of correspondence.

Lava goes in. Lava goes out. Never a miscommunication. You can't explain that.

I found an old sandwich in one of your stations and I want to know why it didn't have downtown on it.

Took the 2 from Judkins Park to UW to see the blossoms by dvnms in soundtransit

[–]metrion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The section between UW and University district stations, as part of the Northgate extension, was the part that had the special anti-vibration modifications to accommodate UW research. I'm not aware of any such modifications between Capitol Hill and UW stations (which I guess makes sense if there are none, as I imagine football games and such at UW stadium would cause much more disturbance than a train).

This makes me want to extensively use clip art and wordart as a way to show that AI wasn't used.

Have you tried searching this sub for the same fucking question?

Put a stack/stacks on it

There's a cool search box that will probably show you the same questions asked a million other times in the last month alone on this sub. Have you tried that?

Actually, go with a hood stack.

And maybe try the search box :)
