  1. It's the midget pete buttigets fault.

  2. If this isn't related to the typical underfunding, I don't know what is, and then there are still people complaining about the infrastructure bill.

  3. I think this is sabotage. Somebody really hates pete buttigieg because he's gay as transport sec. So much rats & snitches from the trump admin still in the system. I mean, everything's happening during the biden admin that shouldn't, if no one tampered with it. You know, like how putin tampered with the 2016 elections but no one knew. I smell trump.

  4. Goodness gracias ..a full.i investigation should be done….because perfection and honesty is the backbone of America….

  5. The FAA realizing pilots wont be able to know about a 36ft tall pole 500 ft before the runway threshold: 😧

  6. So an inexperienced IT worker recovered the wrong file from backup?

  7. If you have 95 billion dollars to send to the Ukraine war why not fix our country first humm. And just comet another 3.8 billion to Ukraine.

  8. It is an intentional act of sabotage. The federal government has done this on purpose

  9. Oh half truths. 🤣 Now tell us the rest of it.

  10. US transportation is in shambles!

  11. damaged file? I thought for sure they were going to blame Donald Trump

  12. Perfect example why AI artificial intelligence can be marvelous and deadly.

    ONE PERSON,
    ONE "FILE",
    (amongst MILLIONS of files),
    SHUTDOWN ENTIRE AIRLINE INDUSTRY

    "Files" store data, info, settings, or commands in computers.

    PROGRAMMER is an alternative word for ENGINEER.

    There is NO BAD AI, only HUMANS, who program the droids and cornucopia of devices BUILT with AI, to respond/act.

    Whatever form future AI imbodies is irrelevant. It has no feelings, empathy, or conscience and never will – they are not biological beings. AI's only job is to intake and process data, and respond, or take action, based on that data.

    Every aspect of AI is created and designed and engineered, by humans.

    So this FAA incident is NOT a computer glitch or computer error; it's a HUMAN ERROR. As humans are both imaginative yet fallible, we can therefore expect more human errors in the future, and thus more AI errors in the future.

    The danger is not the concept of AI; it's the human beings behind every great or catastrophic ACT by AI, as COMMANDED by HUMANS..

    WE control our destiny, and should never lose sight of this.

    The FAA's response: "We're going to do things differently" should be "do things BETTER" and this motto should be their #1 priority, every single hour of every day.

  13. Attack of the
    Lizard People

  14. This is what happens when you outsource your IT to India

  15. Question is whether that database file was purposely damaged by hackers of our adversaries or not?

  16. as a programmer, i wonder how this doesn't happen more often

  17. Imagine being that engineer that caused it all… poor guy

  18. Liars and incompetence. Biden administration! Pathetic. Gone are the good days in America!

  19. Let's just pretend there isn't another country out there that has repeatedly threatened cyber attacks against our major infrastructure… Let's also pretend we haven't given "aid" the the current enemy of that country…

  20. Greatness takes real dedication.

    Stop jumping from one thing to another without putting real time into it.

    If you want to really do it, you have to be willing to put in YEARS. Anyone who says you're wasting your time during the long process, doesn't know anything about real success. Most go for the short term gains. But the greatest do the things that will last.

    Go hard and commit to being great.

  21. So fucking lame they blame one guy/girl for this when they themselves admit the system it outdated. 😴

  22. This is bs lmao 😂

  23. Incoming… Solar flare? EMP? Eruption? AI hand over? Putting my head down!

  24. we live in a consumer's world and the best at it are the smartphone company not keeping your phone up to date with the security. any smart tech knows that a smartphone can be used for years but they make it so that consumers need to buy a new one with the updates. PC companies are starting to do that with their OS not working on older PC.
