I'm just here.

If they shut the internet off next, it’s been a privilege posting with you gentlemen this evening.

Whether this ground stoppage was caused by AI or not, the admission that IT COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY AI should awake all of us to the urgent need for regulation.

Changing the name and getting the billionaire CEOs of AI companies to pinky promise not to be naughty ain’t gonna get the job done!

[Molly Jong-Fast @MollyJongFast]

One of the most prominent features of this administration is their ability to mess up things which used to work just fine.

@laflame_xq I don’t even understand why his son is involved in these grown conversations

@laflame_xq Some men get out the hood but still long to socialize their SONS into hood culture. Why not wait til the kid is like 17 to be talking about strippers. Hes 11

I feel like we are at the specific point in time where future historians will say “this is where they should have pulled the plug on AI and they didn’t.”

Before china blows us to bits, I just want to say that white people ruined the world.

@Leamsezadah There may be bigger issues in the world but it doesn't mean that you just stop ignoring every other issue. Funny you bring racism up because this is exactly that.

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

Elon Musk launching one of his rockets while every plane in America is grounded is the perfect metaphor for the Trump era.

No notes.

[David Billiot Jr @DCBilliotJr]

New Orleans gets crapped on nationally a lot, but…

The fact that they had a tanker ship crash directly in to a cruise ship with 150+ people on board and many of them end up in the Mississippi River, only for the leaders to step to a microphone just 4 hours later and be able to report 0 loss of life is frankly amazing.

Every single person involved with that incident today deserves credit, because that could have been disastrous.

[Agita Christie @pagan_hoetry]

Good evening hackers if this is a cyberattack can you please delete our credit card debt and student loans please

[General Mike Flynn @GenFlynn]

Everyone needs to stay steady and alert to the current breaking news.

Yes there is a nationwide airport shutdown. I’m told until 2300 hrs. There is a problem between Air Traffic Controllers and the FAA.

There are also reports of U.S. military units being placed on alert.

This should all be taken very seriously.

The WH has a responsibility to keep the public informed and must. I suspect, there will be statements coming out of various government sectors, but it must be the WH that informs the public, they have a responsibility to do so.

STEADY EVERYONE, STEADY.

[The Fitz @SdotFdot07]

Maybe this is just my impatience, but I don’t understand, why they can’t escort passengers to the gate along the “driving” lanes. Especially when some airports have buses/vans that frequently pass around the gate area.

Just holding people “hostage” cannot be the solution 😂

[Halston @halstonvalencia]

Just landed in NYC.

We took off just minutes after the FAA announcement, but now we’re stuck on the tarmac with no available gates.

The pilot just informed us that we won’t be able to deplane until other aircraft are cleared to fly again. He shut off the engines to conserve fuel.

We made it here just in time, only to be stuck on the plane indefinitely.

This is nuts.

[The Fitz @SdotFdot07]

Yea but I promise you the book was dumb and never gave a clear reason. I couldn’t even finish it, it was so chaotic with no payoff and that made me not want to watch the movie so hopefully it did better capturing the essence the book aimed for.

[ToiWeezy 👸🏾💕 @ToiWeezy]

“Leave The World Behind” was about outages happening all over the country. Planes were falling out the sky, Teslas were crashing into each other, Tanker ships were plowing into things because why? There was a COLLAPSE of communication and information systems. 🙃

[Olivia Rinaldi @olivialarinaldi]

NEW: Multiple sources tell @CBSNews that an update to the private communications network that connects America's air traffic control system caused the system to reboot. 

When the FAA's telecommunication infrastructure rebooted, it crashed, causing the communications outage. 

The system is operated by L3Harris.

In moments like this, Americans need clear information from a competent, honest administration they can trust.

We do not have that kind of administration. Really feeling that void right now.

[Molly Jong-Fast @MollyJongFast]

What if putting reality television actors in charge of the federal government was a mistake?

[National Weather Service @NWS]

In case you heard otherwise, there is no radar outage and https://t.co/sKhgAVX4eI is fully operational! Outdated content from isolated webpages stating otherwise has been circulating, but NWS radars are operating normally.

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

The aliens have landed. That’s the REAL reason for the ground stop. They don’t want to start a worldwide panic. They are blind but can hear like a motherfucker.
