I'd be quicker to assume that the problem is within. AI related or not.

You need to go outside, take a walk and then have a hot chocolate.

All is well, this is not the AIpocalypse. Just some dude fucking up something stupid, as usual.

Update before I can no longer edit:

> The Federal Aviation Administration told airlines the nationwide outages that prompted the ground stop were the result of a problem with network routers, according to an airline source.

> The problem is believed to have started at Chicago Midway International Airport and cascaded nationwide.

> A spokeswoman for the military’s Northern Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, said there was no evidence yet that the telecommunication outage was the result of any nefarious action by domestic or foreign actors.
