    $50B? No problem. We’ll just need an itemized list of expenses that accounts for every penny.

    You know how AI is demanding all this compute hardware? You know how AI can do things superhumanly fast? Welp, all those AI agents running around are taxing the network infrastructure, not just bandwidth but also endpoints and servers. If we’re going to have AI agents “force multiplying” humans 10x and more, they’re likely to be using 20 to 100x as much computer/network resources to do those superhuman fast jobs.

    In other words: the AI server datacenters are just the beginning - once AI really starts doing human-type work, the digital systems that are currently serving humans are going to be crushed under the tsunami of AI users. The increased demands for RAM and processor chips and datacenter space and electricity associated with AI are only just beginning.

    The FAA may actually understand this, now that their SMART system has blown out their infrastructure capacity.

    Hmmm, perhaps those DOGE cuts to the FAA and DOT (among others) were not the bargain they seemed, especially considering it didn’t resolve the budgetary/national debt issues. I don’t want to sound accusatory, but it’s starting to appear as if they might have been for some other purpose.

    “We should talk to our senators and our members of Congress to say ‘we don’t deserve this, America,’” Duffy said. “This is the greatest country — by the way, with the greatest president — let’s give the money to fix this very real problem.”

    LOL “greatest country” who can’t even keep planes in the air, and “greatest president” racking up 40+Trillion national debt and made the entire country vote against him

    fucking incompetent losers. they’ll do nothing, and then blame obama, biden, tEh GaYs for all the damage they caused

      to fix this very real problem

      Why say it’s “real” like that? Is that a liar’s tell? Is he convincing himself?

      How about we get an actual investigative report first you fucking weirdos. Funny how they need $50BB BEFORE the next congress is seated

      GUESS WHY
