This reminds me of a Mad Magazine comic from the 1960s (or 70s I don’t remember) that had a secret agent or someone like that use a computer to 'calculate the fastest route to his destination) and it drives him through every building in the city since that would be a straight line…
Some shit doesn’t change.
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!!
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
What an idiot. It’s an airplane obviously it has to fly up into the air and then down again
Exactly. Maybe you could put it on a boat and have it taxi across the atlantic ocean, and have it save fuel, but it would take forever. At that point it hardly seems worth bothering with the plane at all.
Really shows the limits of AI. It’s orders of magnitude faster to go through the Earth.
So like the Hyperloop where every passenger sits in their own Tesla and rides along at low speeds? Like the log flume but incredibly stupid.
This is fucking awesome thanks for sharing
This path requires a plane with a drill head mounted on its nose.
Nah, the AI must have figured out how to shift the plane’s matter out of phase the the rest of the earth’s matter so it can slip straight through.

anyone have contacts at Delta?
My dear brother in Christ, there’s a reason that you don’t
Kind of tangential but what is posthog (in his job description)? Is it from Chapo Trap House or something? I used to see that all the time years ago on Reddit but I guess I was always on the outside of the inside joke.
I think it was intended as a reverse of 4chan’s “tits or gtfo”.
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!!!
This is superb.
No it’s not, it’s terrible! They took away AI! Twice!
They called them sexy flights
They need to be curved to overcome the wind resistance.
Genius
So…they managed to build an AI agent for flat-earth conspiracy?
Surprised how many people don’t realize this is satire
The bar is too low, hard to tell now
Poe’s law is in full force in this age of “AI”.
If I had read his titles under the name I would have gotten it, but I’ve seen way to many Ai bros on linked in posting dumb shit like this and being serious.
Yeah, it’s hard for us fluent in sarcasm to actually understand those that struggle with it - like wdym you can’t tell? Even the sentences are set up as a joke.
I’ve learned to add “/s” at the end but it icks me every time.
you severely underestimate how many people say the stupidest shit and mean it completely sincerely lmao
We live in a post-truth era, with confidently-incorrect people all around. Too many people without a care for reason, facts, and how reality works have ideas that are able to gain traction in public.
Look at anti-vaxxers. Look at flat-earthers. Look at Trump winning a second time.
Although I pegged this post as sarcasm at the start (the guy’s job title gives it away), I’ve heard equally ridiculous statements from real people before. Sadly, I can’t fault people for assuming honest stupidity if that’s what they’re accustomed to encountering.
Poe’s law. People aren’t dumb, they just know that there are dumb people out there
All you need is to dig a straight-line tunnel through Earth for the planes to fly through.
Elon is already on it.Cum historia mutat valde Razgriz
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?
Is it because they get shot down if they do a straight line?
