Grifters promise us fake "AI" while our (unfortunately) critical, tech infrastructure rots. Ride a bicycle instead.

They hooked up new ai tech, bragged about it the day before lol. Now they are trying to blame the old tech for being overloaded by the new ai tech, as opposed to admitting it was the new stuff that caused the failure.

    They hooked SMART up 3 days before the shutdown, and over 2 months ago in DC and FL.

    They hooked up the old system decades ago, the last time they had to ground all flights was 09/11/2001, and it wasn't because anything went wrong with the ATC system.

    2 months in regional areas and 3 days nationwide is not really impressive in any way except for how quickly their shit fucked up the existing functional and reliable system that has worked without fail for decades.
