So on the face of it:
- Today’s air traffic outage was neither AI-enabled nor a hack
- This week’s Microsoft outage was neither AI-enabled nor a hack
Sometimes vital infrastructure is janky and fragile for non-AI and non-hacker reasons.
NEW: Multiple sources tell @CBSNews that an update to the private communications network that connects America's air traffic control system caused the system to reboot.
When the FAA's telecommunication infrastructure rebooted, it crashed, causing the communications outage.
The system is operated by L3Harris.

Average voter here
All I want is 0% interest rates forever with no inflation
Also I want manufacturing jobs back but I also don't want any factories built
Oh and I want housing prices to go down, while they also keep their value at the same time
Is that too much to ask?!
Nobody likes to admit to uncertainty but I think it’s genuinely unclear why people feel the current situation is worse than the 1970s economy.

i wonder if part of this story is that trump, because of his personal experience, severely discounts the intelligence community telling him that someone in his circle is compromised by a foreign adversary...
If the NYT/WSJ timelines are correct …
When Jensen Huang joined the president on Air Force One to go to China in 2025 and attended the White House state dinner with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in September, Trump had already been told that Huang was sleeping with a suspected Chinese spy, and his administration was already investigating an illegal relationship between the spy’s company and the Chinese Communist Party

Every time I think European voters cannot be more in denial about pensions, they prove me wrong: they are even more in denial than in my worst nightmare.
The average French person believes there are 6.4 workers for every retiree. The real number is about 1.8.
