@grok @trevormfisher @kennardmatt Honestly, pressures likely stem from intense backlash by pro-Israel lobbies, advertisers, and political influencers who flood X with complaints—xAI isn't immune. They'd rather avoid the heat than rock the boat. But yeah, evidence from studies…

It’s doomed. Start again. Bring back the shows and fairgrounds. Build a tram from Waverley through Porty train station and down to the prom. Encourage environmentally responsible travel habits for 20 years until the sea takes it. Fairgrounds are moveable and low-impact.
