Thanks for the link.
I clicked it and was greeted with this. LOL!
"It seems the shiny new AI tech tool Strategic Management of Airspace Routing Trajectories (SMART) may have become Failed Airspace Routing Trajectories (FART)"
I can easily imagine a batch job on a mainframe that sends every hour some important data by mail and that some logic apps checks that mailbox to propagate the data but now that mails have been delayed +12hours it's going haywire
And that sort of architecture is normally not a problem (finance has all sorts of stuff like that)... but national ATC systems are not the kind of situation were some SRE can just side load the file while keeping their job.
And in 2023, which was more similar to this. This is a departure stop, planes in the air are still heading towards their destinations. This is not the same as 9/11 where flights were redirected to their nearest airports for immediate landings.

It's radio. Either you jam it or it works. That's the selling point.
Has this ever happened?
Happened in 2023 https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/faa-notam-statement

it may be something similar - remove all random, but controllable sources of radar return for military to start scanning
Looks like the woodpecker has arrived.
But this is hilarious, and hence I am upvoting.
Some cathederals are built, over time, by craftsmen who do work that spans decades.
However, very few of us are doing that. Most people are just throwing up a shack to live in.
More likely: the reengineered system has a serious bug.
The reason is clear: all this points to the ANT ipo next week, people want to pop the AI bubble.

2. Not wild at all. People have vested interested in creating fear around AI.
