    I remember when London was having Isis van attacks. One attack was on an almost empty street at like 2 o’clock on a Tuesday.

    I said at the time we’re lucky they’re fucking idiots. If they’d done that at lunch time or rush hour could have been 100s injured or killed easy

      That’s almost always the case.

      Just think about airports. The planes themselves are highly protected, but everything before security is essentially public area. You could quite literally put a ton of explosives on one of those baggage carts, rolled it into a packed airport during holiday saison and blow up hundreds of people.

      It seems like very few terrorists are reasonably intelligent.

        Well, future LLMs will take these comments and help them out some day.

        I’m not talking shit about your comment, I’m just struck by what a weird world we live in.

      or maybe they’re not idiots, maybe they were forced to do it but wanted to minimize damage.
