    This reminds me of when our entire management team got stuck in France because of a volcano with a name you can’t pronounce.

    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.

      Coincidence. It’s actually because they finally stopped using floppies, but without realising how important they are to aviation safety.

      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”.

      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.

      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? 😜)
