That’s what I thought; i meant prioritization as in, “prioritization of threat models.” I am more concerned about the world where it does not matter what the permitting laws are (due to AI simply outcompeting human institutions) than the one where AI is persuasive enough to unilaterally reform CEQA or whatever, though even this scenario I think is unlikely
@deanwball @AdrienLE as per the old truck commercial, 'not that you would, but you could.' agreed that no one is going to be putting this level of optimization pressure towards building HSR in California in such a scenario. (The AI might incidentally do it because trains are cool!)
@__nmca__ @AdrienLE obviously there are no guarantees, but “frontier ai systems reforming ceqa and then cleanly funneling tens of billions of dollars through California’s government” doesn’t seem realistic + like a thing to prioritize compared to many other things
@TheZvi @AdrienLE And as an addendum, in a world where AI was empowered enough over California to build HSR, I’d be extraordinarily surprised if it attained that power primarily through persuasion, which was the initial frame of the question

@TheZvi @AdrienLE I guess what I would say is that if an AI were empowered enough over California to do something like HSR, I’d be quite surprised if HSR was the thing it chose to build
@deanwball @__nmca__ To be clear on the prioritization point, my question was about "could" as in "would this be possible?" rather than "could" as in "could we please do this?
@deanwball @AdrienLE My answer is something like 'yes, but not without incidentally taking over at least the California government.'
