... the pilots cited cases where, they argued, the action of pilots had saved an airplane and its passengers when the computers could not have.
In at least two of those cases they had a point.
In January 2009 Captain “Sully” Sullenberger saved the lives of 150 passengers by making an emergency landing on the Hudson River. And in November, 2010 what would have been one of the world’s worst air disasters was averted when Captain Richard de Crespigny of the Australian airline Qantas managed to get a giant Airbus A380 that had been badly crippled by an exploding engine back to earth in Singapore, saving 469 people.
The pilots in both instances were flying Airbus airplanes with “fly-by-wire” controls and what was then state-of-the-art cockpit automation. Sullenberger saved his airplane by choosing the Hudson as his nearest landing point, a split-second calculation that his computers could never have made. Crespigny’s computers, faced with 120 major systems failures, automatically shut down 99 percent of the airplane’s electrical systems.
Fortunately there were three off-duty pilots on the A380 in addition to Crespigny and his first officer and it needed the skills of all five to get to the runway—they had the brains while their computers had become imbecilic.
“When programs pass into code and code passes into algorithms and then algorithms start to create new algorithms, it gets farther and farther from human agency” admitted Ellen Ullman, a pioneering programmer in 2018.

Could you please explain how market capitalization and deflation are related to universal income? Or am I trying to connect the wrong elements in your illustration? Is it something to do with reduced purchasing power being related to reduction in the value of pps x number of outstanding shares? Having some trouble grokking it here.
Just like some of the ‘safety” features in cars....a car can’t detect loose gravel, spots of ice and other road inconsistencies that can be seen by a driver...it’s possible for a car safety system to throw one off a cliff when the driver could have prevented it.
Thank you for posting that!
It is something that requires a biological level of complexity that would require a cpu the size of the LA Coliseum. (and Terabite per second communication.)

True, but the goons will never accept the superiority of Yehova’s creation over the mind of man. (yes, they’re internally conflicted)
