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.
the first thing AI did was ground all flights.
A... I... wanna ask you a question.
They have been using them since September 21.

Guessing it did not scale well.
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, it happened just 3 years ago.
Actually less scary than if, say, Obama was president. (or even a Bush really)¹
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.

¹Cuz if it was a "status quo president", you know shit hit the fan (i.e. war or some shit), not just an innocent mistake :::
They announced yesterday that they were rolling out a new AI ATC tool nationwide.
It went super well. No complaints. I'm definitely going to miss my upcoming flight, but this is definitely the best thing to happen to aviation in the history of aviation.
to avoid future collision the AI grounds all flight, cant have accidents if there isnt flights.
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? 😜)
It's what happens when you put nut jobs and idiots in positions of power and control over a country
