They’re going to blame this on Iran, aren’t they?

This also happened on 9/11 which is curious because the NVIDIA thing caused a public rift with Lutnick yesterday:

No, please stop engaging in baseless and pointless speculation. If the US wants to bomb Iran it doesn’t need more reasoning than it has already used to already do what it has done.

If you haven’t noticed the Iran war is universally unpopular. They actually do need to fabricate a reason to continue.

No they don’t - popularity isn’t all that relevant. The president can just order strikes tomorrow.

Besides popularity isn’t the determination of whether something is a good idea or not. The Korean War for example was very unpopular yet it was the right and smart thing to do.

We paid more than $800MM for "route suggestions", btw, a problem that doesn't seem to benefit at all from "AI"—a term reserved for fantastical algorithms. Surely you could solve this with traditional search algorithms without sacrificing your dignity!

Is there another “rogue agent” now?

Can we stop trying to shove AI in places it doesn't fucking belong.

It's literally not reliable. Even if it could be MADE reliable, the humans USING it are fallible.

It's just so stupid.

LITERALLY IDIOCRACY

The fact that you can ask "which one?" tells you something about where we as a nation were at in 2024.

Are you by chance visiting from the future to prevent a nationwide aviation catastrophe?

He also corrected a reporter who asked about AI, saying "we call it SI now". So there's that.

When you’re a fascist but can’t even keep the planes running on time it’s probably time to give up.
