So they’re gonna build a tunnel through the earth the plane can fly through, to go in a straight line, right?
Maybe the plane could be on tracks for safety?
Air drag wastes so much fuel. Put the plane in a pipe under a near vacuum.
please be a joke
ceo at posthog
Now that’s a deep cut. I haven’t heard the posthog meme in forever.
AI is also flat earth dummy then
When is the next all life on Earth killing asteroid collision again?
Sorry man, meteor said “Fuck that” when he saw us
damn. imagine being so underwhelming a planet killing asteroid bails on you? like holy shit are we fucked
This is a joke from Cobra Kai
Use this tool to make an azimuthal projection from your location. It’s really trippy. It helps you better make sense of routes like these. https://ns6t.net/azimuth/
Techbrah! Techbruh…
The earth is round and other things besides efficiency influence the decision of flight paths for example active warzones and malicious countries
And flying over less water in case of mechanical failure.
No way this isn’t a joke, right?
Yes it’s a joke. His page is full of satirical AI-themed shitposts
Every time I think that, I’m wrong. So at this point I’m just going to assume it’s legit and be pleasantly surprised if proven otherwise.
Nope, it’s real, the hedge honcho himself is going to revolutionize the flight industry with these new Elelems. It’s the future, and he’s hedging it.
No, it is not not a joke
People openly admitting to using ai to draw a straight line are not exactly what one would call intellectually adventurous.
Which is precisely why I’m pretty confident it’s a joke. Anyone stupid enough to actually think of this wouldn’t need an AI to do it they’d have drawn a straight line themselves.
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.
They called them sexy flights
Genius
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”.
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.
Poe’s law. People aren’t dumb, they just know that there are dumb people out there
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.
you severely underestimate how many people say the stupidest shit and mean it completely sincerely lmao
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.
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.

AI does not believe in the round Earth hoax. 🤷♀️

Madrid to Auckland Vs Lisbon to Auckland is a fun one
Near-antipodal cities are all like that.
- Christchurch (New Zealand) — A Coruna (Spain)
- Madrid (Spain) — Weber (New Zealand)
- Wellington (New Zealand) — Alaejos (Spain)
- Hong Kong (China) — La Quiaca (Argentina)
- Nelson (New Zealand) — Mogadouro (Portugal)
- Whangarei (New Zealand) — Tangier (Morocco)
- Tauranga (New Zealand) — Jaen (Spain)
- Hamilton (New Zealand) — Cordoba (Spain)
- Junin (Argentina) — Lianyungang (China)
- Ulan Ude (Russia) — Puerto Natales (Chile)
- Masterton (New Zealand) — Segovia (Spain)
- Palembang (Indonesia) — Neiva (Colombia)
- Wuhai (China) — Valdivia (Chile)
- Padang (Indonesia) — Esmeraldas (Ecuador)
- Rafaela (Argentina) — Wuhu (China)
- Galvez (Argentina) — Nanjing (China)
A route with all mentioned NZ-Spain/Portugal cities with airports. The difference between flying over the North and South poles is just a few km so it’s more important to pick a friendly airspace with good weather.
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.
