for anybody wondering why airlines use curvy flight paths: it’s because most flight paths were made before AI
I propose a new formula for calculating them:
flight path + AI
new_flight_path = length_of_flight - (AI * 2)Just a little snippet of what can be done with ai…
This code is PROTECTED and I WILL SUE. This is NOT under a public license.
Fuck it’s on my phone now, how do I delete it!? I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to steal it I swear!!!
I have traced your internet IP protocol address back to your IP home address, using AI.
Expect a letter from my lawyer soon!
AI can send mail now‽
This is superb.
No it’s not, it’s terrible! They took away AI! Twice!
Idk, according to my AI agent this code has twice the AI in it, therefore it’s twice as good
It’s supposed… To represent the time saved in the flight plan… I can see how it may be misconstrued…
I will relay this information back to home base…
They need to be curved to overcome the wind resistance.
Genius
What an idiot. It’s an airplane obviously it has to fly up into the air and then down again
Well the shortest path is a drilling submarine to go through two continents and the bottom of an ocean. Unfortunately it will take aproximately 87 years to get there this way.

That’s pretty cool. I wish I could just intuitively understand the routing, but I suppose that would take some of the fun out of it. Buenos Aires to Perth did not go how I was expecting.
I think you’d be surprised how many people can’t comprehend this without showing them a globe lol.
This is so wrong. The fastest route is going west from LA to Paris, because that will make you go back in time. By the time you land in Paris, it’s the previous day!!
Pilot here. This man is a fucking idiot.
Normally I’d think this was satirical, but these days nothing surprises me.
This is clearly Ryanair, notice how they don’t actually arrive at the correct destination?
Surely we should have AI pilots by now.
It would make all flights much faster…
spoiler
… because the plane would crash well before reaching the destination.
Actually automated starts, landing and flight are all pretty old tech. The reason planes are still piloted/supervised by humans is the same reason why the “autonomous taxis” are still remotely supervised and controlled by humans – there will be a situation the autopilot cannot handle.
Yeah, that’s another layer of the joke: tech bros trying to shove AI were there is already a working solution in place which is more reliable.
An AI was needed to draw a straight line? Like, map projection and curvature aside - he didn’t do this himself with a map and pencil? Same revelation either way but this one was lazier.
anyone have contacts at Delta?
My dear brother in Christ, there’s a reason that you don’t
It took me a minute too long to realize that the white parts of the map were land and the grey ones were water.
I need my morning tea before I keep scrolling…
All you need is to dig a straight-line tunnel through Earth for the planes to fly through.

It is amazing with how little of knowledge and intelligence one can get a CEO job.
Probably because the ones who hired him were even dumber…
This has to be satire there’s no way anybody could be that stupid.
there’s no way anybody could be that stupid.
You sweet summer child… This is still beginner stupid, we haven’t even gotten close to the advanced stupidity you see in the world. Especially as seen in the white house/congress/supreme Court buildings in the US.
Yet flat earth believers exist. Never underestimate the capacity for stupidity
Yeah but if somebody actually thought that drawing a straight line on a projection map was valid, they wouldn’t need AI to do so.
Most likely, this is not. There are loads of people that stupid.
Then why use AI? What’s the AI done, it’s a straight line, even flat earthers can think up the concept of a straight line
No idea where AI entered the game. It’s totally unnecessary here, as everywhere else…
Wow!
With AI you can be just as wrong as you are without it, but also destroy the earth and be told you’re a good boy by a souless mechanism… Yay

Now that’s a deep cut. I haven’t heard the posthog meme in forever.
please be a joke
