Don’t buy any of it.
Not one bit.
I know the federal government is behind the times in lots of ways, but this seems too much like a cover-up to me.
Don’t kid yourself. This is so typical of government contracts.
Sad when you want to trust official gov’t explanations but history proves you shouldn’t and understand it’s proper to assume they are lying.
Save to assume if it was an AI attack or a terrorist attack we’d never hear the truth
Well, the lesson I take from the Microsoft screw-up and FAA screw-up is that we have nothing to worry about with respect to AI taking over the world any time soon.
AI isn’t going to be stable running complex systems and all the humans have to do is not help AI recover from a meltdown to take control again.
The mere notion that the FAA would perform a coast-to-coast, system-wide, analog to digital upgrade of critical communications systems is entirely unbelievable.
We were hacked but we cannot tell the public that. The Governor of NY is calling for Duffy to resign. I would be very concerned about flying now.
