First NVIDIA, then the Microsoft outage and now the halt of all flights due to "extraordinary circumstances". What do you guys think is going on? 🤔

Nvidia was just the midterms, I think the Trump admin suppressed it for the sake of the stock market.

As for the halt of flights, its just the standard incompetence you'd expect from the current administration. They just deployed their new AI air traffic recommendation engine on Nov.10. I wouldn't be surprised if they were pensive about the deployment, so deliberately kept it until after the midterms as well.

FAA expands AI advice to manage air traffic congestion across entire US airspace

Airline executives have voiced support for the rollout, but the US labor union representing air traffic controllers has said it was not involved in designing or testing the AI-driven system.

But the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, which represents more than 15,000 members, also told Flying magazine that it was not consulted or involved in the “design, testing, or implementation of SMART and therefore cannot speak to its effect on the air traffic control workforce.”

It would be pretty much on brand if they deployed the system to try to "cut waste, and increase efficiency", but the contempt for the people with the knowledge and experience came back to bite them in the ass.
