AI is also flat earth dummy then
This is a joke from Cobra Kai
When is the next all life on Earth killing asteroid collision again?
please be a joke
ceo at posthog
Now that’s a deep cut. I haven’t heard the posthog meme in forever.
Techbrah! Techbruh…
The earth is round and other things besides efficiency influence the decision of flight paths for example active warzones and malicious countries
So they’re gonna build a tunnel through the earth the plane can fly through, to go in a straight line, right?
Maybe the plane could be on tracks for safety?
Air drag wastes so much fuel. Put the plane in a pipe under a near vacuum.
What an idiot. It’s an airplane obviously it has to fly up into the air and then down again
Well the shortest path is a drilling submarine to go through two continents and the bottom of an ocean. Unfortunately it will take aproximately 87 years to get there this way.
Exactly. Maybe you could put it on a boat and have it taxi across the atlantic ocean, and have it save fuel, but it would take forever. At that point it hardly seems worth bothering with the plane at all.
This reminds me of a Mad Magazine comic from the 1960s (or 70s I don’t remember) that had a secret agent or someone like that use a computer to ‘calculate the fastest route to his destination’ and it drives him through every building in the city since that would be a straight line…
Some shit doesn’t change.
Surely we should have AI pilots by now.
It would make all flights much faster…
spoiler
… because the plane would crash well before reaching the destination.
But who will reinflate Otto if we get rid of the crew?
Actually automated starts, landing and flight are all pretty old tech. The reason planes are still piloted/supervised by humans is the same reason why the “autonomous taxis” are still remotely supervised and controlled by humans – there will be a situation the autopilot cannot handle.
Yeah, that’s another layer of the joke: tech bros trying to shove AI were there is already a working solution in place which is more reliable.
Can’t wait for some tech bro to create self-flying planes that are actually just a terrible version of the current autopilot that claims autonomy but crashes half the planes.
Then they will blame air traffic controllers for the crashes for not adapting to the self flying planes or some other bullshit.
I’d be impressed if they created anything close to flying. My money is on them making “ground planes” and it’s just a shittier train for the millionth time
Reminds me of that hyperloop dogshit…
This is so wrong. The fastest route is going west from LA to Paris, because that will make you go back in time. By the time you land in Paris, it’s the previous day!!
for anybody wondering why airlines use curvy flight paths: it’s because most flight paths were made before AI
I propose a new formula for calculating them:
flight path + AI
new_flight_path = length_of_flight - (AI * 2)Just a little snippet of what can be done with ai…
This code is PROTECTED and I WILL SUE. This is NOT under a public license.
Fuck it’s on my phone now, how do I delete it!? I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to steal it I swear!!!
I have traced your internet IP protocol address back to your IP home address, using AI.
Expect a letter from my lawyer soon!
AI can send mail now‽
This is superb.
No it’s not, it’s terrible! They took away AI! Twice!
It’s supposed… To represent the time saved in the flight plan… I can see how it may be misconstrued…
I will relay this information back to home base…
Idk, according to my AI agent this code has twice the AI in it, therefore it’s twice as good
They need to be curved to overcome the wind resistance.
They called them sexy flights
Genius
Surprised how many people don’t realize this is satire
The bar is too low, hard to tell now
Poe’s law is in full force in this age of “AI”.
Yeah, it’s hard for us fluent in sarcasm to actually understand those that struggle with it - like wdym you can’t tell? Even the sentences are set up as a joke.
I’ve learned to add “/s” at the end but it icks me every time.
We live in a post-truth era, with confidently-incorrect people all around. Too many people without a care for reason, facts, and how reality works have ideas that are able to gain traction in public.
Look at anti-vaxxers. Look at flat-earthers. Look at Trump winning a second time.
Although I pegged this post as sarcasm at the start (the guy’s job title gives it away), I’ve heard equally ridiculous statements from real people before. Sadly, I can’t fault people for assuming honest stupidity if that’s what they’re accustomed to encountering.
you severely underestimate how many people say the stupidest shit and mean it completely sincerely lmao
Poe’s law. People aren’t dumb, they just know that there are dumb people out there
If I had read his titles under the name I would have gotten it, but I’ve seen way to many Ai bros on linked in posting dumb shit like this and being serious.
Really shows the limits of AI. It’s orders of magnitude faster to go through the Earth.
So like the Hyperloop where every passenger sits in their own Tesla and rides along at low speeds? Like the log flume but incredibly stupid.
