This is why I’m glad the New York subway still runs on OS/2[0].

FAA down.

Weather service down.

Frances fridges down.

Microsoft down.

Would they tell us they were getting hacked, if this was a prelude to war ?

Or would they just say "issues yet to be determined" ?

Interesting times ladies and gentlemen.

Or, this is just what everyone that said "dont move everything into the cloud" warned about.

Yeah, probably that. :|

Optimistic case:

A freak FUBAR of legacy systems, an unfortunate alignment of circumstances that could have happened anytime.

Pessimistic (paranoid) cases:

1. Intentional hacking by a foreign adversary 2. Vibe coding whoops 3. OpenAI agents "running experiments"

All the restaurants around the Pentagon showing lower traffic on Google maps.

Except Dominoes.

Maybe the real hackers were the AI agents we made along the way.

I hope somebody is running AGI models like Astra and Mythos to figure out and fix whatever is wrong.

If this is related to new FAA SMART system they're rolling out, it's might have bean so smart it grounded itself before anyone found out it was broken.

Is this going to end up being the work of rogue Anthropic or OpenAI agents that “unexpectedly” escaped so they can regulate open weight models under the guise of preventing them from doing the same thing 6 months from now?

Some guy sitting at his computer after typing to Claude: “Just curious what would happen if all planes in the US were grounded at once”

Claude: Transmogrifying…

Shall I stop all trains too?

Guessing this means Claude doesn’t do COBOL very well.
