I’m sure this [gesturing broadly at everything] is all coincidental

I mean sure it could be their AI broke everything, but it also could be them trying to prevent an avian flu outbreak. That's the exciting bit about living in a collapsing empire. You never know what disaster is next! blob-on-fire

Bold of you to assume they'd go to this level to stop the avian flu when they didn't even try to stop a pandemic that killed millions (and is still around)

Covid kills and disables at a macro level slowly. A good avian flu outbreak could have us on path to looking like The Stand in a matter of months. Especially with Covid doing mass immune dysregulation across the globe. Now, are they smart enough to acknowledge that? Probably not.

While I agree, RFK is the HHS Head; the only disease he's going to do anything like this for is a mass outbreak of ebola

Oh no, totally agree. If there's anything that's gonna save us in the future it's gonna be some rando cdc or faa guy jumping the gun without permission.

AI determined air travel was unnecessary in a fuel crisis and just shut the whole thing down.

I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Donald.

Nothing to see here side-eye-1

Did they seriously put this out the day it glitched out and had to ground all flights right before peak travel season?

[–] Cricket@lemmy.zip 20 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

The story is from yesterday, so the grounding today could theoretically have been caused by this system rollout. They're specifically saying that it's a communications issue that caused the grounding. Interesting timing for sure, in more ways than one.

The importance of testing extremely thoroughly before changing the production environment

Interesting, I hope it goes well!
