I certainly hope so. I stopped caring about them years ago for other reasons. I simply saw that story over the news when it happened. But I could argue that it still took them the departure of their social media manager to realize what they were doing. If she just left without talking about her experience, who knows how they would be today.

When we talk about cybersecurity or theft in general, it's always your fault if you leave the door unlocked.

At this point you're not contributing to any civilization. You're a parasite.

Besides what Civ says, a lot of stadiums are built for a one time special event, like the olympics or some world cup.
I'm thinking about the olympic stadium of Montreal (which I think the post was about). It was built for the olympics of 76 and cost around a billion dollars at the time.
Since we don't have a baseball team anymore, it is used only once in a while for music shows, but the acoustic is horrible because it wasn't built for it. In my lifetime, I honestly never went inside for an event.
And now, the government is talking about a plan to repair it for an other billion. At this point, the only reason to keep it is because it's so old and unique. Plus, it would just costs too much to demolish it.
It does bring a bunch of tourists annually, but for local people, it's either seen as a weird relic of the past or a big scam.
Also, why can't I just be a peaceful barbarian? Why would my population need amenities anyway? And who told them what is a stadium?

Not only they aren't cheap, but they are pretty much never profitable. If we are to build things that are not profitable, we could as well build something that will offer a service to the population, like public transportation.

Well, it's not a surprise that the definition of "AI" is not based on how it is represented in fiction. It shouldn't.
But the definition of AI is still oddly large and include a lot of things that probably shouldn't be part of it.
On the other hand, when people talk about "AI", it's almost always about machine learning, aimed at NLP or vision tasks, which is also inaccurate as AI can do much more than that.

I might be too american, but I'm more concerned about leaving a bike outside unlocked without a fear to have it stolen. How does that work?
