How many times have we heard about AI escaping their sandboxes and running amok in spaces they aren’t supposed to be in? Launching AI in one part of the air traffic system could unintentionally open a door to the rest of it, no?

🚨 On FAA nationwide ground stop, FAA employee tells me: “Being that it is affecting a lot of the country id say it’s a major issue with AI type implications.” Bryan Bedford and Sean Duffy have been touting all week the new AI system that controllers say makes no impact on their work. He added “I wouldn’t rule out a cyber attack though.”

News: Straight Arrow News, the anti-partisan outlet backed by the billionaire Joe Ricketts, is shutting down. I’m told dozens of employees will be affected. Ricketts founded and then shut down DNA Info in 2017, a week after the staff voted to unionize.

🚨HOLY SHIT: The Getty journalist who captured the moment Trump did NOTHING as his guest fainted at the White House just won an award for the image. Trump looks completely flustered. This has to be one of the most humiliating nights of his presidency.

Everyone on Linkedin should be watching House of Dragons. They keep dropping Career Gems. In the last episode Rhaenyra blessed us with the best auto email reply, that I will be using going forward "I am awash in dilemmas and deficiencies. Let me find my footing and I will attend to your request." Whoever wrote that line…I know your pen was on fire.
