Oh man! Pilot here.

And we thought Reagan fucked up!

    It's still appropriate to blame Reagan, funnily enough.

    Yeah, he's got a lot to answer for in Hell.

    I wish I believed in that stuff. It would so satisfying to know that those dipshits are suffering, but they aren't.

    We can't count on these jackals getting punished in the next life, we have to take care of it ourselves. Make them think Hell will be a vacation.

    Hi. I dont know shit about flying or the demands of personnel in a control tower (especially at a place like atl). I'm also fairly anti-AI for various reasons. But it seems to me, from ground level and with a view of the trees, that AI would be better at juggling all of the data and variables of planes in the sky, compared to a moron like me. Given that you're a pilot, can you help me understand why that's not the case?

    There's an IMMENSE amount of human interaction in air traffic control. The thing AI is the absolute worst at.

    The only real way it could work is if everything was turned over to computers. And we're not there yet.

    Do you actually use AI? Even the most advanced models constantly make mistakes. And not small ones either

    These AIs are language models, they are not good at making decisions that require live context or a memory longer than 5 minutes.
