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?
The fuel is the load bearing component of the equation.
I generated a letter to the loved ones. Let me know if you want it to be less personal:
I hope this letter finds you well. Yesterday’s plane crash wasn’t just a terrible accident—it was a horrible mistake…

That should go swimmingly
Only if there’s a body of water near the terminal.
so yes!
“You were right to push back - that runway was in fact occupied”
I think they should test it out on the private jets first. Ya know, to make sure it all works great.
The proles get to roll the AI killbot dice. The humans will be reserved for private jets.
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!
it’s going to issue predictions about how busy particular times are, basically.
and for that it’s somehow worth $875M.
That’s only step one. Just wait.
I can at least live with your comment. lol.
I don’t necessarily disagree, but we’re certainly not there yet - on this particular front.
ZERO use of the AI in the tower by ATC to control aircraft in any way.
For now.
because we havent had enough air disasters in the past 2 years.
Welp, I’m never flying again. And fuck my house is in a main flight path.
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.”
Well, here’s hoping they are in charge of Air Force One.
We’re fucked.
Ah yes, the same technology that was used to kill 123 Iranian school children
The intern got the weights wrong for high value targets.
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.
My initial reaction was “well that’s gonna end badly”. But then I realised they are probably not talking about generative AI. ML approaches can be pretty useful for optimisation, so this might not be as bad as it sounds. Really depends on what the actual technology is and what purpose it’s being put to…
