I tried to use AI to install a reverse osmosis water system yesterday, I asked it to look at manual for hose colors to match them, I figured it would save me a few mins.
After an hour of it not working and trying all sorts of nonsense I looked in manual to have it show me it had given me all the wrong information to a simple task.
I can’t wait to have people’s lives reliant on this technology.
AI is a pretty big catch-all term. If they mean specially designed and trained deep learning neural nets, maaaaybe it’ll be okay. If they mean typical LLMs we’re straight up fucked.
Exactly. With a broad enough term those computerized screens showing the position of all the planes is “AI”.
I watch an art restorer out of Chicago on youtube, and he’s developing his own AI to help restorers. He says it’s a closed system. Is that something that could work? I’ve been wondering about that since he announced. (Baumgartner, if you’re interested).
I just saw an ad for using ChatGPT to “come up with new recipes and baking ideas”
Yeah I’m sure having a bunch of people decide to eat whatever a hallucinating AI comes up with isn’t going to be dangerous at all…
I’ll look it up and try to find it. But I’m pretty sure there’s a YouTube video where they actually did ask Chat GPT to come up with new recipes and baking ideas and then they tried to make them to the results you would expect.
Edit: ok, so it looks like there are a whole lot of YouTubers making AI recipes to the expected results. So Google away.
Powered by Grok?
Yet another reason not to go to the USA.
We just need one rich asshole in a private jet to crash due to ATC failure for them to care.
LOL. Fuck that. I’m not flying.
Forget flying, you’ll be getting Donnie Darkoed in your bedroom.
Well, once the mistakes start to pile up I will probably get a lot less judgement from others about my apprehension of flying.
Oh helllll to the nawh nawh nawh
Ah, the blameless AI got people killed. Sue the company, then whittle it down because no raindrop programmer was responsible for the flood that killed hundreds, then wait for people to give up in appeals while the lawyers get rich.
The next 9/11 will be AI powered. A.I. Qaeda is a truly terrifying prospect.
a data analytics tool that will help advance the agency’s modernization objectives for aviation safety.
SMART will cost $12 billion, and will supposedly help flight controllers schedule flights weeks in advance to cut down on delays.
“This software will say, ‘well, listen, we can see this 45 days out. Let’s move some of those flights a little bit later, or five, seven, 10 minutes earlier, and we can resolve the issue. And so then you are not delayed,'” Duffy said.
Nothing in any of the facts as reported there suggest the use of language models, except for the editorialising in the summary about how LLMs hallucinate things, which makes me wonder about how competent Futurism’s tech journalism is.
I really have zero reason to fly now. The risk is way to high under this fascist administration.
Will this affect my miles program? Anyways, I’m gearing the family up for the exciting trip of a lifetime. We are going to reenact a trace of the Lewis & Clark trail for seven days. It will be in August along the Great Plains. With nothing but authentic gear of the time allowed. The kids should love it.

I watched the lord of the ring movies this weekend for the first time. Extended versions with my friends.
Wtf is wrong with people who name their company, possibly their life’s work, after the evil eye of the big bad evil guy?
“Are we the baddies?”
Technically, the Palantiri weren’t the evil eye of the Sauron. Sauron and Saruman did use them (and that’s why you see Sauron’s eye in one of them), but the stones themselves were basically just communication and surveillance devices. They were, themselves, fairly neutral and not made by anyone especially evil (probably Feanor - flawed but not evil). But they were used for evil purposes during the time in the LOTR trilogy.
The palantiri themselves aren’t inherently evil; Sauron was just a master of deception and used them as propaganda devices
You think batman having a hidden lair as literally the tallest building around is unrealistic until you see what modern corporations are like
That’s because this news site is owned by a multinational company, which owns several other publications. They sell advertising and not reform
No they didn’t.
Later, a person familiar with the matter told Bloomberg the Federal Aviation Administration had brought on Palantir, Thales SA, and Air Space Intelligence to compete for the SMART contract. Palantir then released a statement to investors confirming the company was contracted by the FAA to “provide a data analytics tool that will help advance the agency’s modernization objectives for aviation safety.”

Where do you get the impression they’ve won the contract? They have another sole source contract with the FAA, but for SMART are still one of three in the running unless there is some source out there I’m missing.

Those are two separate things, though I can see the confusion. This might help: https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/palantir-faa-win-manifesto-reframe-200302412.html
Ah, I see now. Thanks for clearing this up and for the link.
What I’m hearing is, they will literally risk people dying on planes just to train AI AND would rather do that than hire/employ actual staff that will do the work. Somehow, paying their staff a liveable wage and treating them like a human being just doesn’t bode well enough for the rich people making these decisions.
This is fucking insane. I bet you that none of the places with private jets flying all these asshole c-suite execs are using AI. It’s only being forced on the public because the idiots bought into the hype and don’t know how else to make money out of it.
I wonder how many plane crashes it’ll take before this changes.
If at all.
Look at how quick we got used to school shootings and climate change and death-squad healthcare and a bunch of other awfulnesses.
We are very good at taking abuse and carrying on with it.
Aircraft accidents discourage tourism, though. Dead children is one thing, but this could affect people’s bottom line.
Tourism has been discouraged for a while, yet nothing is changing
That’s true.
All it will take is one billionaire hitting another plane.
Maybe it will happen to air force one too?
Maybe we can hire Luigi as the pilot for billionaires?
Have him fly it into Trump tower
Actually no them too. Peter Theil is shockingly stupid and crazy. He believes it’ll work and if it doesn’t he’s so special nothing bad can happen to him
That would be one of the biggest ironies in history if Peter Theil ends up dying because the AI ATC he championed crashed him into some other evil exec. I’m thinking maybe Elon Musk.
Sweet Home Alabama intensifies
…nothing bad can happen to him
Honest question: When was the last time something bad actually happened to these people?
That submarine imploded under the unbearable weight of a billionaire’s hubris. The world got ever so slightly better that day.
Is there a way to convince more billionaires that 3rd-rate carbon fiber is a great building material for compression-loaded pressure vessels?
Epstein if he’s even dead. Dead insurance exec #1 that made luigi a verb.
epstein still continues to haunt gop/trump and other world leaders from beyond the grave. the fact that ghislaine hasnt been offed yet is because getting rid of her will just increase scrutiny on the epstein files.
You have reading to do. Did you see the 9/11 shadow commission email? Know anything about Maxwell’s dad, had a real interesting funeral and life. Or her sister and what those companies do? Did you see the map of greater Israel in Epstein’s house? Framed 9/11 news paper? Rothschild couple emailing about hunting humans?
That’s just big ticket shit.
There’s a picture of Jeffrey in an ambulance with a heart monitor live and in tachycardia recently and bank accounts that’s movement has not been explained.
Oh the safe, that’s a huge one. The FBI busted open and packed the contents into two suitcases which sat in Epstein’s house then were moved to his account’s house then sat there a few days then makes it’s way back to the FBI with a box of CDs now explained as not properly logged.
Also Mossad’s surveillance on Epstein’s homes and Epstein’s body guard training at the CIA who Epstein sued because…
That’s just off the top of my head in under 5min. Go read. Or watch don’t look up
Maxwell is Mossad, Israel is going to annex Lebanon and Jeffrey was CIA (cries but the CIA can’t operate on US soil) to which I say, ever heard of the franklin incident? Ghislaine is a queen awaiting pardon.
Its simpler than that. They are prioritizing the “economy” over anything else, which leads to this type of decision making. The shortage is fixed for less money than if they hired more people, the money goes to AI companies propping them up further, and the “stock market” continues to climb.
Its an entirely flawed way of thinking and living and that’s what needs to change. Right now the largest impact on changing this is simply older generations dieing off, as many are too old to change their entire moral system.
What could possibly go wrong?? 🤦🏻♀️
What’s the worst thing that could happen??
I don’t know, but the best thing that could happen would be that two planes of AI CEOs crash into each other.
Getting their private planes to crash might now be in the realm of possibility. Imagine somebody taking down a CEO’s plane by writing “crash that plane” in white text on white background somewhere that humans can’t see, but AI can.
You mean for the AI air traffic controller or the AI pilot? Because I could imagine them replacing pilots with their product. Or installing a Copilot copilot.
Grok will be the pilot and Copilot will be the copilot. Air traffic control could be handled by GPT.
I love it so much. This way, the billionaire problem should be solved in about three days.
even having 1 crash would be interesting
We will certainly find out. In the meantime, I’ll drive.
Ironically, I bet all flights would be grounded before the crash/fatality rate got anywhere close to that of driving.
Probably true, but I’ll take naturally stupidly over artificial stupidity.
with so little ATC already as well.
