“I’ve spoken with 60 air traffic controllers tonight about what Sean Duffy said at the White House today,” said one journalist. “None of them are buying what he said.”
Air traffic controllers are rejecting US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s explanation for Friday’s nationwide flight ground stop, raising questions about the Trump administration’s account of a communications failure that disrupted air travel across the United States, affecting an estimated 1.5 million travelers.
Washington Examiner homeland security reporter Anna Giaritelli told CNN’s Laura Coates during a Friday night interview that she’d spoken with 60 air traffic controllers about the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ground stop, which was just the third to ever occur.
“None of them are buying what he said,” Giaritelli said. “The controllers were saying, ‘We don’t buy that this is actually what’s happening, the reason that Sean Duffy is saying this has happened.’”



Power grids have switches that are designed to do that though. Can’t wait until AI is introduced into that. WCGW?
This is about network switches tho or wdym?
My reading of that comment is there’s multiple domains where switches are a common component, and introducing a LLM into the mix is guaranteed to lead to cross contamination and perversion of advice for future planning and diagnostics.
Anyone who is impressed by the function or output of a LLM, to the point they believe it is in any way adjacent to intelligence, must be quarantined from decision making processes which affect anyone not similarly cognitively impaired.
Yes, wasn’t a comparison of the technical part, just more a commentary on how introducing probability to something that needs to always work the same every time is not a great mix.
So not totally serious comment, but yet also, serious implied comment.
