Published yesterday. What’s the worst that could happen?
Just in time for Thanksgiving.
Smart.
No it’s SMART! ;)
“Just a week before Friday’s grounding, the Federal Aviation Administration announced plans to phase out decades-old floppy disks used for weather and other critical information at air traffic control centers.”
Now they use Grok, what can go wrong? US Redneck Tech
Oh great mechahitler is in charge. What could go wrong?
F< ck (it) we test in production.
Sounds like it is going well.

I hope this keeps flights grounded for weeks.
Nothing forces change in America like prolonged inconvenience.
This applies to all humans. It’s not so much prolonged inconvenience as it is the speed and level of change from the current accepted baseline.
For example, corporations have gradually enshittified everything over decades, so now everything being shit, and only continuing to get worse, is the accepted baseline.
how many ATC left last year, for them to do this.
Turns out knowing the speed of light impacts latency between locations spread across thousands of miles; demonstrated that they never hear of the 500 mile email bug.
I hope that guy got a job
Hold on, is the speed of light latency actually relevant to this issue? I haven’t seen that anywhere.
I haven’t heard either, but speed of light latency would certainly be detectable in this application.
The Minnesota ARTCC, for example, covers 300,000 square miles of territory with line-of-sight VHF radio transceivers (and radar). All of those transceivers have to be networked to the single control room with the controllers.
Amazing haha
I have never failed to read this again when posted. Wild!
I’m kinda enjoying watching the major airports collect all the aircraft. It’s like watching my grandson with Pokemon cards
Looks like mating season is here.
I always figured that mid-air refueling was the closest thing to aircraft mating.

Oh yeah, baby, gimme more of your fluid. Fill me allll the way up.
What the FUCK
First time on e621?
Whatever you do, don’t look up r/dragonsfuckingcars, r/honeyfuckers, or r/planefuckers. What got posted here is on the tame end of the spectrum
You don’t have to worry about that.
Check out the related images!
See, in this thing called ITIL, there’s something called a rollback plan. This would also come with plenty of testing ahead of time, especially on very crucial systems.
Oops…
Claude told me it’s not necessary, the code has been thoroughly reviewed and has no errors, as instructed.
Hey man.
fuck it.

On paper, this should not have affected anything. It was only to provide human-approved route optimization. Theoretically, a total failure should have been easily ignored, business as usual.
TIL that an outlook/365 bug that requires the user to open an attachment is only 6.5 CVE because it cannot execute itself.
… Have cyber security people… met the average, median outlook/365 user?
Rolling is about all they’re doing now. Great job!
There’s an idea for stranded passengers. Just drive the planes on roads.
Whatever could go wrong? 🤡
wait, I think I know this one… is the answer “full nationwide ground stop and international inbound flights accepted on case by case basis”?
You sound like a worrier.
I can tell
Practical test, this is important, any human beings the blips on my radar?.. fuck, i can’t believe i wrote that
The first phase of the SMART rollout was only going to provide AI routing optimization, a thing AI/ML should excel at. No phase of this rollout was to replace human ATCs, only provide options to be approved.
So while this shouldn’t be the issue, it’s a hella coincidence.
Does that even make sense in preplanned routes? Is an atc going to tell pilot to fly someplace else?
