    You’re absolutely right to push back, I should have landed that plane before it ran out of fuel. Would you like me to explore options for funerals?

    I guess the next time I want to travel internationally I’ll take a train to Canada and fly out from there.

    I don’t see ANY comments in here where it’s clear that people read the fucking article.

    “Har har, AI and ATC, I’ll make a funny joke about flying will be unsafe”. Yes, it’s expected, but if you actually read what this is - it’s going to issue predictions about how busy particular times are, basically.

    ZERO use of the AI in the tower by ATC to control aircraft in any way.

    Sure, they might try to introduce such a thing - at which time your jokes will actually apply!

      and for that it’s somehow worth $875M.

      Average Lemmy user: Get baited into a headline about AI and immediately bitch about how it’s the worst thing in the world. No nuance, no legitimate discussion about the issues, just rage.

        It definitely seems like the 100% anti-AI NO MATTER WHAT people hold the majority. heh. Which is only annoying every so often, as I mostly agree with them. Just not totally agree. heh

          Reminds me of most liberal arguments. I usually agree with them, but there are some issues (like gun control) where I have to shake my head at the ignorance.

      If you’re in a main flight path you will be safe.

      “It looks like I may have confused the available freeway lanes for a designated runway. Did you know I405 contains 523,000 times more asphalt than LAX? I will work on securing an additional freeway for future landings and I have prepared a list of new flight paths.”

    900 million could just hire a lot of skilled engineers and air traffic operators that can be well paid but that doesn’t sound as cool and futuristic as AI

    FAA describes the SMART system

    The media and old boomers are going to love talking about this system the moment a plane crashes.

    What an absolute slap in the face for the underpaid and overworked ATCs. Been bitching about more money for years?

    Naaah how about your boss is now a clanker
