Re: <nettime> rage against the machine |
It looks like some cretin in Boeing that drank too much of AI Kool Aid
(probably a middle manager) decided to install trained logic circuit
that was supposed to make new aircraft behave (to pilots) like the older
one. As its operation was far too complicated (ie. even Boeing didn't
quite understand it) they decided not to inform pilots about it, as it
could disturb the poor things with too much information.
One part of the unknown operation appears to be the insistence of ML
black box on crashing the airplane during ascent. As it had full control
of the trim surfaces there was nothing pilots could do (I guess using
fire axe to kill the circuit would work, if pilots knew where the damn
thing was.)
