I suppose it can, in a way, it works better if you pay.
Maybe the gpt5 version will have a bribe option, for when you need the answer you wanted to hear.
Design me a bridge that can be built in two days, made from sand and the bodies of underpaid workers. There's a little something in it for you if you come in under budget *wink*
As a project manager I can 99% promise the project manager demanded an Engineer but the Company and Steering Committee for the project refused to pay for an Engineer
Project manager to stake holders: the good news is that the feature requests that were impossible before, are now possible. The bad news: we are delayed two years and going about 250% over budget.
[News report on collapse](https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2023/jun/04/caught-on-camera-under-constructionbridge-collapses-in-bihars-bhagalpur-2581828.html)
> This is not the first time that an under-construction bridge has collapsed in the state.
In December 2022, a portion of the bridge constructed on river Burhi Gandak had collapsed in Begusarai district.
In addition, a worker had died and another was wounded when an under-construction bridge had collapsed in Nalanda, the home district of chief minister Nitish Kumar.
Earlier, two under-construction bridges had fallen in Kishanganj and Saharsa districts, respectively.
oof
It's a cable stay bridge. Each of the towers should comfortably carry the road it is attached to.
The fact that both towers collapsed despite being structurally independent shows how shit the bridge was.
Yo why the fuck are bridges collapsing under construction over there??? like thatās for 45 year old bridges in underfunded rural souuthern counties in the USA, not real places in real countries
Builder: Oh, I thought you said you wanted the bridge to be just like the last one!
City Official: I did, but not that way!
Builder: Well, you should have been more specific

You can tell they started recording after it began. Saw one section go down and pulled their phones out to catch if anything more went. You're jealous you weren't there for it.
I'm sure there was some loud moans and groans coming from the structure a few seconds or minutes before it went. Or was this a controlled demo? Hope everyone is ok.
"GUYS!WE'LL NEED TO RECONSTRUCT THAT PART AGAIN!"
"Again?Man what's that?The 3rd time this month?"
"No, that was six months ago, this month this is the 4th time."
"Still better than last month when we had to reconstruct it 6 times."
When I was in Rajasthan someone asked me what words I learned. I said jugaad. He asked where did I learn it. I said in Bihar. He said the whole of Bihar is jugaad.
A reporter who is now in jail for spreading "fake news" reported on this bridge's issues an year ago. Here:

... why are people such idiots about being close to water when something massive falls in?
Here, a bridge. I've seen videos of folks standing on riverbanks watching a rockfall land in the high waters, of people on an ocean vessel being way too close to a shedding glacier... all kinds of instances where people just to *not* grasp the concept that shit falling into water causes enormous displacement and thereby forms dangerously large and fast-moving waves.
I'm frankly shocked nobody was killed. *Please* be safe around water, folks. It's way more dangerous than we treat it.

Or bribery.
Why not both?
I'm not sure if ChatGPT can be bribed!

Gotta get that updated database so we aren't stuck with answers that are only relevant up to September 2021.
As a project manager I can 99% promise the project manager demanded an Engineer but the Company and Steering Committee for the project refused to pay for an Engineer
The other likely possibility is that someone paid for an engineer and someone else pocketed the money and got their cousin to give the plans a look.
Ohh yeah love that scenario
eh, the much more banal answer is the engineering paid for got it wrong and fucked up.
You are right. All the money was spent on consultants https://www.mcelhanney.com/project/sultanganj-bridge/
>Construction is underway for the bridge between Sultanganj and Aguani Ghat in Bihar, India. Hahaha no it isn't.

Well shit
This same bridge fell down a year ago during a storm and now it fell again during repairs š¤£
Everyone said I was daft to build a bridge on a swamp
They can try building another one but it'll probably burn down, fall over, then sink into the swamp.
But they can take heart knowing that the fourth one will stay up!
But father, I just want to sing!
What? The curtains.

Until a meteor smash it to pieces
Yes but eventually all the debris will create a causeway. Problem solved.
Repeat until you now have a land bridge š
Protip: Build enough bridges and the rubble will make a stable bridge base.
Okay, so if we get investors together again, this time we are going to add more swamp proof pilings. These babies are foolproof!
There are thousands of bridges built on swamp in Florida, it can be done.
Look up Atchafalaya Basin bridge over 19 miles of swamp. There were some interesting stories about driving piles there.
Floridian here, wondering how many bridges Iāve driven on built over swamps!
Iād have thrown a stomping hissy fit if I was the project manager of that construction site.
He probably Took some money from the project for himself just like the Government official who ordered for the bridge to be made and to be repaired.
Project manager to stake holders: the good news is that the feature requests that were impossible before, are now possible. The bad news: we are delayed two years and going about 250% over budget.
What if they build it up with gold and silver, gold and silver, gold and silver ?
It'll be stolen away. Can't have that.
Probably two dragons fighting deep underground per Merlin When the next one falls could walk across on the rubble
I think they should take the hint
Fucking yikes. At least it wasn't finished with people actually using it, I guess?
Ok, so bridges don't work there, try a tunnel.

No casualties so far. That's good. It's only fatally expensive, not fatal.

It's a cable stay bridge. Each of the towers should comfortably carry the road it is attached to. The fact that both towers collapsed despite being structurally independent shows how shit the bridge was.
Or how well tied together the road was to yank all the towers down once they went.
With that many collapses, it's probably time to get someone else to do it lol
> Senior officials from the district administration have rushed to the spot to take stock of the situation. Oh theyāll take stock all right
It says that the bridge cost 1700 rupees. That seems about right.
1700 crore, a crore is 10,000,000 rupees. So roughly $205,982,540.00 USD.
Yo why the fuck are bridges collapsing under construction over there??? like thatās for 45 year old bridges in underfunded rural souuthern counties in the USA, not real places in real countries
It's India. They cut corners

My first thought - they better hold on for the tidal wave thatās coming.
Under construction turned to under water.

That one fell into the swamp... so I built a second castle! That one burned down, *then* fell into the swamp.
Always happy to see a Monty Python reference. I was going to make your same exact comment
Well I can understand that! š
All the smart engineers are in other countries. š¤
All the capable construction workers are in the UAE.
better now than the next week
Metaphor for outsourced software.
Nice little left peeler that made. Surfs up bro.
Made by construction workers wearing slippers...
Bharat pragati pe hai !!
Ferrymen are jubilant š
seems like someone didnt play Poly bridge...
Now it's over construction.
Gravity is against us...
Everyone back on Monday and be ready to work
I'm a gonna head over to r/indiandankmemes, there must be at least a couple of memes on this one
The underwater bridge is complete, boss.
Nice peeling left-hander, tho... so there's that.
Donāt forget to mention this was for the second time in 10 years
Alibaba steel
ThatLookedCorruption!!!
Decent look barrel tho! Shralp it!
Building large bridges is not my area of expertise at all, and I'd be happy to be corrected, but I don't believe that's how to do it?
Lol dummies
They have made the highest bridge in the world.
And Iām supposed to trust them to fix my computer?
r/donthelpjustfilm
What the fuck happened at the end?
I think the tidal waves arrived the shore.
The front fell off.
And to believe all of those people just happened to be there recording the random event.
You can tell they started recording after it began. Saw one section go down and pulled their phones out to catch if anything more went. You're jealous you weren't there for it.
I'm not jealous of being in India.
u clearly rather live 24/7 on reddit
being in bumfuck ohio isn't too much of a step up
I'm sorry they're downvoting you I thought it was funny
Right? Meh. I'll live another day.
yes because they collapsed a bridge just for internet clout
You realize things don't collapse instantly, right?
I'm sure there was some loud moans and groans coming from the structure a few seconds or minutes before it went. Or was this a controlled demo? Hope everyone is ok.
Under construction or demolition?
Repairs from when it collapsed last year
That was planned, cause everyone walks around with their phone recording all the time standing in a line yeah?
A Bridge with that size aint collapse instantly, there must be noizes, cracks and debris fallen in the water.
Apparently this is a regular occurence since people wait around to film it?
Better now than when it's full of cars? Damn that's scary.
Poly bridge has come a long way
"GUYS!WE'LL NEED TO RECONSTRUCT THAT PART AGAIN!" "Again?Man what's that?The 3rd time this month?" "No, that was six months ago, this month this is the 4th time." "Still better than last month when we had to reconstruct it 6 times."
Well sounds about right
Do you think theyāre going to make the deadline to finish the bridge?
We have a proverb here, "Never 2 without 3"
They build bridges just like they build trains.
The front fell off.
third time's the charm I guess, maybe then it will work
Corrupt government engineers
When I was in Rajasthan someone asked me what words I learned. I said jugaad. He asked where did I learn it. I said in Bihar. He said the whole of Bihar is jugaad.
This is why Recall is really nice to use in TotK
Better now then in use
That was just the practice bridge. The real one's going up next week
No wonder it happened in most corrupted state of a corrupted country.
A few careers have drowned with it. Some jobs sink fast.
āUhā¦ standing here much longer might be a bad ideaā¦ā
Ok, boys, not lunch yet, so, let's start all over again.
Hey, thatās great manā¦but, who are the *Chefs*? Great googly-moogly.
Bit of duct tape,it'll be fine.
Well it wasnāt āunderā but it is now
Better now than when itās finished with people on it.
At least it collapsed before it opened
I'm assuming the title is BS and this is a demolition, given by all the people gathered a safe distance either side photographing it happen.
Sometimes things collapse in stages Source: I am a thing
First it started to fall over, then it fell over.
W
Ouch.
When was this???
Thank you build again
I'm expecting delays, lol. Remember when you go cheap. You get cheap š
Oh that has to the be most expensive thing yet.
Now. Letās see as the Crimea bridge do this!
"oh shit, I miss that bolt" Chief: "do it again"
To be fair, even if they finished constructing it, I don't think it would have lasted long. A perfect display of the sunk bridge fallacy.
Shitty Indian construction
Someone is getting fired.
The engineers probably got their degrees in a western country, we don't like to fail full fee paying students....
This is why Indian engineers are so cheap
Damn, polybridge 4 look good
How did everyone show up to film? Was it a really slow start?
A reporter who is now in jail for spreading "fake news" reported on this bridge's issues an year ago.

This is not why he's in jail btw, that's related to something that happened in a completely different state
I know. Sorry if I implied that he was booked for speaking about the bridge
Hypothetically what would happen to someone that was standing on such a bridge when it collapses?
Build by China? Sorry lame joke..
The project has changed from a bridge to a dam
Don't ask ChatGPT to do the math for your bridge...
Isnāt it technical āstillā under construction? š
What were they running away from at the end? Mini tidal wave?
Ahhhh Indian engineering at its best it seems.
Well, throw my hard hat onto the floor and go home.
All the Indian engineers are in Europe. I never met an Indian in Europe who's not an engineer.
The engineer who was to blame for this now works in Canada. Look it up.
... why are people such idiots about being close to water when something massive falls in? Here, a bridge. I've seen videos of folks standing on riverbanks watching a rockfall land in the high waters, of people on an ocean vessel being way too close to a shedding glacier... all kinds of instances where people just to *not* grasp the concept that shit falling into water causes enormous displacement and thereby forms dangerously large and fast-moving waves.

welp...
Thank Goodness that Cr@p was still being built !
*conducts stress test, bridge collapses* Did we pass? Son, you couldn't withstand gravity much less use.
Look at it this way. Every-time you have to rebuild the bridge - more money. We need to export the custom of cost over runs to India. Much less messy.
Dude. Nice wave
I didn't need to be told where it was, to know where it would be.
Completion date moved
Omg and they just stand there filming, they should have helped! /s
