for anybody wondering why airlines use curvy flight paths: it’s because most flight paths were made before AI
I propose a new formula for calculating them:
flight path + AI
new_flight_path = length_of_flight - (AI * 2)Just a little snippet of what can be done with ai…
This code is PROTECTED and I WILL SUE. This is NOT under a public license.
Fuck it’s on my phone now, how do I delete it!? I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to steal it I swear!!!
I have traced your internet IP protocol address back to your IP home address, using AI.
Expect a letter from my lawyer soon!
AI can send mail now‽
This is superb.
No it’s not, it’s terrible! They took away AI! Twice!
Idk, according to my AI agent this code has twice the AI in it, therefore it’s twice as good
It’s supposed… To represent the time saved in the flight plan… I can see how it may be misconstrued…
I will relay this information back to home base…
They need to be curved to overcome the wind resistance.
Genius
They called them sexy flights
Surprised how many people don’t realize this is satire
The bar is too low, hard to tell now
Poe’s law is in full force in this age of “AI”.
Yeah, it’s hard for us fluent in sarcasm to actually understand those that struggle with it - like wdym you can’t tell? Even the sentences are set up as a joke.
I’ve learned to add “/s” at the end but it icks me every time.
Poe’s law. People aren’t dumb, they just know that there are dumb people out there
We live in a post-truth era, with confidently-incorrect people all around. Too many people without a care for reason, facts, and how reality works have ideas that are able to gain traction in public.
Look at anti-vaxxers. Look at flat-earthers. Look at Trump winning a second time.
Although I pegged this post as sarcasm at the start (the guy’s job title gives it away), I’ve heard equally ridiculous statements from real people before. Sadly, I can’t fault people for assuming honest stupidity if that’s what they’re accustomed to encountering.
you severely underestimate how many people say the stupidest shit and mean it completely sincerely lmao
If I had read his titles under the name I would have gotten it, but I’ve seen way to many Ai bros on linked in posting dumb shit like this and being serious.
What an idiot. It’s an airplane obviously it has to fly up into the air and then down again
Well the shortest path is a drilling submarine to go through two continents and the bottom of an ocean. Unfortunately it will take aproximately 87 years to get there this way.
Just for reference: https://www.greatcirclemap.com/?routes=LAX-CDG
Madrid to Auckland Vs Lisbon to Auckland is a fun one
That’s pretty cool. I wish I could just intuitively understand the routing, but I suppose that would take some of the fun out of it. Buenos Aires to Perth did not go how I was expecting.
I think you’d be surprised how many people can’t comprehend this without showing them a globe lol.
So they’re gonna build a tunnel through the earth the plane can fly through, to go in a straight line, right?
Maybe the plane could be on tracks for safety?
Pilot here. This man is a fucking idiot.
Normally I’d think this was satirical, but these days nothing surprises me.
Surely we should have AI pilots by now.
It would make all flights much faster…
spoiler
… because the plane would crash well before reaching the destination.
anyone have contacts at Delta?
My dear brother in Christ, there’s a reason that you don’t
An AI was needed to draw a straight line? Like, map projection and curvature aside - he didn’t do this himself with a map and pencil? Same revelation either way but this one was lazier.
He’s joking about how stupid AI “solutions” and the people who stan them are.
It took me a minute too long to realize that the white parts of the map were land and the grey ones were water.
I need my morning tea before I keep scrolling…
It is amazing with how little of knowledge and intelligence one can get a CEO job.
Probably because the ones who hired him were even dumber…
Wow!
With AI you can be just as wrong as you are without it, but also destroy the earth and be told you’re a good boy by a souless mechanism… Yay
please be a joke
ceo at posthog
Now that’s a deep cut. I haven’t heard the posthog meme in forever.
