Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Or we could hire more air traffic controllers and upgrading their systems from 1970.

And to pay Saltman and MisAnthropic for tokens... Look yes I know we could hire like 10 ATCs for the cost of this one dude's ChatJippity usage but we've gotta keep the bubble bubbling

But how would Sam Altman and the other tech fascists benefit from that?

Perhaps one could even build a second FAA, to create more opportunities for training for civilian ATCs… but that would make Oklahoma very sad.
