(NYTimes writeup: "The culprit seems to be the website MySpiritHalloween.com, which contains a glut of Halloween event listings, costume tips and game ideas...Mr. Ali, who owns at least five other websites, declined to say where he was based, but said that MySpiritHalloween.com used artificial intelligence to generate its content")Looks like a random AI slop site based in Illinois, aided by social media, has coaxed hundreds of people on to the main street of Dublin for a Halloween parade that was never happening. https://t.co/zbu1s6iQJG

(not fact checking this)Looked up Cross Country Train's social media and saw a ridiculous number of customers with the exact same complaints as I was about to raise. Day after day of this incompetence, apparently. Here's the 'reserved seating' on our 2+ hour journey because they oversold and overstuffed their train.
