What I'm hearing is, they will literally risk people dying on planes just to train AI AND would rather do that than hire/employ actual staff that will do the work. Somehow, paying their staff a liveable wage and treating them like a human being just doesn't bode well enough for the rich people making these decisions.

This is fucking insane. I bet you that none of the places with private jets flying all these asshole c-suite execs are using AI. It's only being forced on the public because the idiots bought into the hype and don't know how else to make money out of it.

Actually no them too. Peter Theil is shockingly stupid and crazy. He believes it'll work and if it doesn't he's so special nothing bad can happen to him

That would be one of the biggest ironies in history if Peter Theil ends up dying because the AI ATC he championed crashed him into some other evil exec. I'm thinking maybe Elon Musk.

...nothing bad can happen to him

Honest question: When was the last time something bad actually happened to these people?

That submarine imploded under the unbearable weight of a billionaire's hubris. The world got ever so slightly better that day.

Is there a way to convince more billionaires that 3rd-rate carbon fiber is a great building material for compression-loaded pressure vessels?

Epstein if he's even dead. Dead insurance exec #1 that made luigi a verb.

epstein still continues to haunt gop/trump and other world leaders from beyond the grave. the fact that ghislaine hasnt been offed yet is because getting rid of her will just increase scrutiny on the epstein files.

You have reading to do. Did you see the 9/11 shadow commission email? Know anything about Maxwell's dad, had a real interesting funeral and life. Or her sister and what those companies do? Did you see the map of greater Israel in Epstein's house? Framed 9/11 news paper? Rothschild couple emailing about hunting humans?

That's just big ticket shit.

There's a picture of Jeffrey in an ambulance with a heart monitor live and in tachycardia recently and bank accounts that's movement has not been explained.

Oh the safe, that's a huge one. The FBI busted open and packed the contents into two suitcases which sat in Epstein's house then were moved to his account's house then sat there a few days then makes it's way back to the FBI with a box of CDs now explained as not properly logged.

Also Mossad's surveillance on Epstein's homes and Epstein's body guard training at the CIA who Epstein sued because....

That's just off the top of my head in under 5min. Go read. Or watch don't look up

Maxwell is Mossad, Israel is going to annex Lebanon and Jeffrey was CIA (cries but the CIA can't operate on US soil) to which I say, ever heard of the franklin incident? Ghislaine is a queen awaiting pardon.

I wonder how many plane crashes it'll take before this changes.

If at all.

Look at how quick we got used to school shootings and climate change and death-squad healthcare and a bunch of other awfulnesses.

We are very good at taking abuse and carrying on with it.

Aircraft accidents discourage tourism, though. Dead children is one thing, but this could affect people's bottom line.

Tourism has been discouraged for a while, yet nothing is changing

All it will take is one billionaire hitting another plane.

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe it will happen to air force one too?

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe we can hire Luigi as the pilot for billionaires?

Have him fly it into Trump tower
