  • Likely it’s a water treatment plant, probably a dosing plant for drinking water. Signs indicate which kind of chemical hazards are present, stored in relatively large and concentrated quantities.

    No other signage because it’s critical infrastructure, and if you need to know, you know.

    Dosing buildings like this are common downstream from dams and reservoirs. Where I live, they are also mostly unmarked and heavily fenced off. Same as electrical substations, phone exchanges and other infra.



  • For sure, AIs/llms can be dangerous if you don’t also apply critical thinking, but that’s been true of the internet forever, and even before. The Anarchist cookbook has recipes that will, at best, waste a bunch of soap and gasoline or have you scraping banana peels with a razorblade, or at worst, have you making chlorine gas in your basement. 4chan had a popular recipe for “peanut butter cookies” that would result in an oven fire, and instructions to drill a hole in your iPhone to use the headphone jack.

    It’s much more important to protect and promote critical thinking skills than it is to try to shield everybody from misinformation and hallucinations.
