Uh … holy shit.

@BrianJopek

Hate the phrasing "AI was responsible for". If I drew a grid and rolled some dice to pick which part of the grid to bomb, the dice aren't responsible for shit.

@BrianJopek Well, when people die from this horseshit there's a better than zero chance it will be a lobbyist or a congressman or someone who can change the law.

@BrianJopek before accountability for these systems are even set in place at that...Not to mention the hundreds of overcrowded airports and near misses...I'm sure this will turn out well.

@BrianJopek https://www.cryovex.com/ai-air-traffic-faa-deploys-875-million-tool/

“a collection of machine‑learning models trained on decades of historical flight data”

I dunno, this might not be a misapplication of a general-purpose LLM to something it can’t do, it might be a misapplication of the term “AI” to an ML tool that is actually well-suited to its one and only task

[mimblewimble@mastodon.social]

@BrianJopek if I can get off target responses from the frontier models after a 30 minute discussion I shutter to think what is going to happen when they run for endless hours on a task like air traffic control. I don't know how the Moonshot guys say they can run overnight on an unsupervised task. That's bullshit.

@BrianJopek On the bright side, they can't build new things in the city when the old things need emergency repairs from aviation incident debris.

[brianjopek@mastodon.world]

@ShadSterling I guess we’re gonna find out! Hopefully, not the hard way.

[tsvga@ni.hil.ist]

@BrianJopek I see a sequel to the Tenerife airport disaster in the future

[vtdarksim@dmv.community]

@ShadSterling @BrianJopek *potentially* a good application of ML (not LLM), but not under these fucking morons.

[deepmud@mas.to]

@BrianJopek and 911, God help us.

@BrianJopek Duffy is a lazy good-for-nothing.

@BrianJopek Hello, Amtrak?

[bcasiello@floss.social]

@BrianJopek
With a high IQ president, that wouldn't have happened.

[ashmire@pagan.plus]

@BrianJopek Apparently they're just determined to find a way to make the claims of AI killing everyone come true one way or another.

[washingtonirving@mastodon.world]

@tsvga @BrianJopek Tenerife was the very example of downsides of human behavior. I am very against AI doing ATC. Just saying it was the worst example

[kaito02@mastodon.social]

@BrianJopek I hope it "misleads" AF1

[maverick604@mastodon.social]

@BrianJopek “The AI did it” is not a get-out-of-jail catch-all that can be used whenever incompetent people do incompetent things without doing their fucking jobs. This Administration bombed those school children, not “the Ai”, and don’t ever forget or stop repeating it.

[xs4me2@mastodon.social]

@BrianJopek

What could possibly go wrong indeed…

[calvin@fedi.sphericalcow.space]

@BrianJopek of course they want AI running the Air Traffic Control, they don't want to be held accountable for that shitshow either! Ha!
