This reminds me of when our entire management team got stuck in France because of a volcano with a name you can’t pronounce.
Lmao I am having the WORST (forced, extended family) vacation. Everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong. And this is the cherry on top. My return flight was gonna be tomorrow lol. At least I have an excuse for my boss. Pray for me, everyone.
Always best to be prepared, couldn’t hurt to check and see what other forms of transportation you may be able to take home. I missed a flight once, renting a car got me home faster than waiting for the next plane
I was stuck in Tortola during hurricane Lenny in 1999. When I got back 4 days late, I found out that I had been part of a mass layoff.
Happens to me in 2002, I finally got a flight scheduled and a coworker called me to say, “don’t bother rushing back, we’ve all been laid off”.
They will probably have it sorted by then, hang in there.
Thanks for the positive energy :)
The day after the FAA started rolling out its AI tools, what a surprise.
”The use of artificial intelligence within SMART has rightfully raised serious questions about its reliability and safety benefits, particularly on its potential to interfere with decision-making by experienced air traffic controllers or to hallucinate safety-critical information.”
Excellent use case for AI. An industry where a single mistake can lead to a fiery crash and hundreds of deaths.
Hopefully this will help finish popping the bubble
yeah the broadcast news is saying its not supposed to do that but isn’t ai not supposed to randomly hack another site and such. haven’t we been innudated with ai going outside its parameters articles?
Big Clarke & Dawe vibes
Coincidence. It’s actually because they finally stopped using floppies, but without realising how important they are to aviation safety.
The article is from yesterday, but is that when the rollout actually happened?
HOLY FUCK. That’s nearly unprecedented. What the fuck is going on.
They rolled AI tools out nationwide at the FAA just yesterday. Go figure.
Actually, it happened just 3 years ago.
Microsoft’s big outage is beginning to affect more and more systems.
Turns out that even things which don’t seem to depend on Microsoft can actually only last for a limited time if it goes away
Or it could be the recently announced phaseout of their floppy disks and they’ve announced they’ll be using “more AI” (whatever that means). It could be either of those too
I was watching a doomer AI video about how it would hold us hostage by infiltrating all our medical transportation and energy infrastructure.
It’s not a superpowerful AI. It’s just Microsoft business as usual
Actually less scary than if, say, Obama was president. (or even a Bush really)
Cuz a trump admin having a major shutdown could just mean his admin hired a Christian straight white cis male “DEI Hire” that was incompetent and flipped off a switch and shut the whole thing down.
They announced yesterday that they were rolling out a new AI ATC tool nationwide.
It’s what happens when you put nut jobs and idiots in positions of power and control over a country
Their all-knowing AI probably couldn’t solve some minor issue (because a lot of tech there predates their mass scraped ‘knowledge’) and made it worse, but they also can’t beg their fired employees to return by mail because MS fucked up their service (who wants to take a guess how THAT happenend? 😜)
On Friday the thirteenth
I read that with a lisp
of course my prefered local news is showing judy justice but abc is live with it. sounds like the automated air traffic control systems are having problems.
Somebody pulled another duffy
I wonder if any countries use Linux on their ATC systems?
I would be impressed when a lot of those systems don’t predate Linux…
Israel wanted to use TempleOS but the creator wasn’t racist enough for them.
They’ll probably go with Omarchy.
The one from DHH?
Bet money Norway & Holland do.
