Boomers got lucky and were in the right place at the right time. They thought it was because they worked hard.

Gen X were told that working hard would bring rewards, but saw that it didn't and became bitter.

Millennials were told that working hard would bring rewards and that Gen X cynicism was why Gen X was not rewarded. They were exploited even more than Gen X.

Do we know if they changed state to Cutoff or is the black box recording that some computer claims that the switches changed state to Cutoff?

If one crewmember did manually set the switches to Cutoff, why does it take ten seconds for this to be noticed and the switches set back to Run?

I am curious about the two pilots' conversation and the timing.

What is the first guy reacting to when he asks "why did you cut the fuel?". Is he looking at a 'fuel flow' readout? Is he just feeling the engines die and lose thrust? Is he looking at the fuel cutoff switches in the cutoff position?

How long after fuel cutoff does this conversation take place?

Why does it take ten seconds from fuel cutoff until the switches are set to 'Run'?

If one crewmember selected 'cutoff' on the fuel switches, I cannot believe it took the other guy, with his aircraft losing power from both engines, ten seconds to check the state of the fuel cutoff switches and put them back to 'Run'.

I can imagine a software glitch cutting off fuel to both engines, puzzled crew looking at fuel cutoff switches that are physically in the 'Run' position while the engines are obviously starved of fuel and taking ten seconds to try flipping from Run to Cutoff to Run in desperation.

Ahah! But if you call bullshit on the output of a "Superintelligent LLM", the response will be that you are stupider than the chatbot and don't understand the answer! Checkmate! Your dominoes fall like a house of cards!

AI agents communicating with each other, each hallucinating part of what it 'hears' and hallucinating part of what it 'says'.

Sounds awesome, cannot wait for it to be integrated into the banking system/medical prescriptions/materials stress analysis etc

God damn Greenpeace! If they hadn't interfered with seal-clubbing, there wouldn't be all these seals causing air crashes! It is political correctness gone mad.

I was worried that AI wasn't being crammed into enough things. Thank god it is Microsoft, that most competent and ethical of companies, who are leading the way to the sunny OS AI uplands.

Well, at a guess, it will be when japanese people feel that they can provide for more children. Maybe that will happen when there is more space for them because the population has reduced.

Now we just need an AI which can record the broadcasts and chop out the DJ audio part and the ads.

Cool! That has put my mind at rest. Glad to see capitalism and the free market are working to make everyone's lives better.

Hmmm... interesting. How false does the false data have to be for it to Darwin you out of the gene pool?
Most of what the average human believes is false? Well, whenever you specialise in any subject (art, medicine, engineering, agriculture), you find that the "common knowledge" of the subject is false or at least wildly incomplete, so if your brain has more "facts" outside your speciality than within, you may have a majority of false beliefs whilst still bein highly educated and a functional human.

Stolen focus is okay, there is interesting stuff about sleep and brains. The parts about social media techniques and motivations will be familiar ground to slashdotters.

For a true meritocracy, the employers would have to know what they want the employees to do to achieve the holy goal of moar profitz, only then could they select the most meritorious employees.
Pie in the sky.

"telemetry doesn't require any meaningful CPU hardware in the slightest"

It may not require it, but if Microsoft have coded it, it probably uses all the resources it can grab. They probably dropped Minesweeper because they couldn't get it to run in less than 2Pb ram.

Its a smegging garbage pod!
