There's not a whole lot of safety going on down there: food, water, air, flying, infrastructure, transportation, formerly eradicated diseases roaring back to life, coupled with a broken health care system, etc etc etc.
I'd call it a "comedy of errors" but it's more a "tragedy of errors", at this point.
“the problem was caused by a conversion of a copper cable to a fiber optic cable in some “remote” facility.”
That screams zero redundancy. That’s unacceptable, especially since former Sect. of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said the current FAA ATC system runs with four redundancies.
So everything now runs through one choke point ? The AI will need to flow through fiber, not copper.
Untested AI on a non-redundant single fiber cable. What could go wrong ?
Oh, and if I were a hacker, cyber criminal, or unfriendly foreign country, I’d know exactly where to go for maximum affect.

Yep, it’s everything they touch.

I don't know how many times I found myself in the midst of a systems outage and had something of the same conversation following:
"Didn't you test the upgrade?"
"It worked fine in the sandbox."
"And is that computer networked at all or is it a standalone?"
"I don't see how that's relevant."
"Was there any real world testing done?"
"That's what the sandbox is for."
Thanks Charles. Very informative. Scary and stupid. My new names for Markwayne and Duffy!😳
Thank you for reading! Those names would fit many in the regime.
