This one included no obvious cuts of silence and did have unrelated transmissions included, and included the radar tracking of the aircraft along with an overlay of weather radar. There was no indication of any editing for brevity, and the first radio call of genuine distress was "We are descending at 10,000 feet per minute" and not something that suggested a more gradual degradation of flight condition outside the mention of precipitation.

It really does appear that the situation went from "Uncomfortable but manageable" to "Already a disaster and getting rapidly worse" in a matter of seconds.

I made the mistake of listening to the audio. They thought the clear icing was manageable and weren't worried about it, but had some moderate turbulence they weren't happy about, then entered an area where they were catching some precipitation. I suspect that the precipitation in what was already an ice situation is what very rapidly caused a loss of control. The time interval between "We're looking for a smoother ride ahead" and "Mayday Mayday We are descending at 10,000 feet per minute" was very brief.

There was no suggestion that the rules are changing, but the subject does invite the question of whether or not they should.

I hate how deeply I relate to this feeling.

But remember, if you resist by force their efforts to murder you, then you're "Just as bad as they are" because "violence isn't the answer."

The Suits leading the AI-replacement drive just think it'll be "The ones who didn't get replaced." They're either convinced that AI replacement will be incomplete enough to leave an economic niche for them still, or that they'll somehow just get in on the replacement profit train early enough while there are still people with money.

If any of them do actually recognize a risk of the population at large no longer having income to buy their products, they're unwilling to be the "one company" that loses out on the potential profit by doing the right thing, convinced that they would not stop this economic apocalypse but only manage to economically destroy themselves.

Seems like a Tragedy of the Commons situation.

Well yeah, he's not very well likely to actually SAY "Yes I'm a bad person, I'm a bad senator and I've betrayed every moral and value that people elected me for." No shit he rejected the claim.

Of all the things that never happened, this one never happened the most.

Pretty sad though that this is the story she wants so much to tell.

Basically not even pretending they're anything but the MAGAstapo anymore.

When the alternative becomes just not having a computer, you'll cave. Everyone will. All they'll have to do is just stop making monitors without the bullshit. It sounds insane now, but in 10 years either this ads and tracking in monitors will have been fully stamped out, or it'll be fully ubiquitous.

If it's any consolation, the entire rest of it looks and sounds AI generated too.

If only AI Datacenters could use the goodwill their shitty users burn as fuel.
