The officials said they have seen no evidence that the failure was caused by a cyberattack or system failures linked to artificial intelligence, but added that they are still investigating the precise cause of the outage.
If they don’t know the cause of the outage, how can they say $50 billion will fix it?
Guess how much they were defunded by dump
Civil aviation infrastructure has been tragically underfunded for decades. Maybe it kicked off when Reagan fired striking air traffic controllers, but a recent article was talking about how a lot of control towers still run off floppy disks.
But maybe that’s also partially explained by “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” and tried-and-true is worth more than the latest technology. I mean, jeez, imagine if two planes collided because Windows 11 insisted on installing an update…
Sure, Trump’s probably been the worst of the lot since he’s a Russian plant out to destroy the country by all means possible, but he’s only the head of the pack.
They sabotaged it with the new SMART ai systems, then demanded 50B to invest into the AI bubble. They were asking for 30B just before this happened. Shit is so fucked.
They came up with that number pretty quick.
My primary concern is that this money is likely to be given out to no-bid contractors with personal ties to the administration officials handing them out.
The upgrades are actually necessary.
hard agree it needs to be done, also hard agree that the current administration isn’t competent enough to be able to
So… it was the new AI system and they want another excuse to hand $50B to corrupt toadies with no-bid contracts. I was ready to not blame the new system, given that it was supposed to be limited in scope, but his dodge on the question says an awful lot.
“We should talk to our senators and our members of Congress to say ‘we don’t deserve this, America,’” Duffy said. “This is the greatest country — by the way, with the greatest president — let’s give the money to fix this very real problem.”
Under no circumstance should we allow Duffy access to any money. This guy is obviously delusional
Bitch, what party controlled both houses, the presidency, and the Supreme Court the past two years?
Seems that they admitted they royaly screwed up a AI rollout.
Controlled? They still have a month and a half.
Upgrading the nation’s flight control system, 2 weeks before America’s biggest travel season, to an AI solution backed by a Real World: Season 6 cast member.
What could possibly go wrong?
Well, I’m thinking that another pandemic isn’t out of the question. Imagine being stranded in a crowded airport, waiting some unknown amount of time, surrounded by a variety of petri dishes, sleeping on the floor, and then finally getting to go home but carrying a super virus back with you. Or maybe it hits while people are still in the airports.
The news probably wouldn’t really hit the national level until after the new Congress gets sworn in on Jan 3rd, so stupid motherfuckers will insist that it’s them durn dumocratses faults. Despite the RFK Jr of it all.
Why doesn’t he take it from ice?
Best I can do is bomb palestinian hospitals
No
Crumbling infrastructure. Looking forward to Post-American America.
Busted fault somehow incoming…
Or else…
