      Maybe Elon can install Grok as the copilot of his private jets.

        I don’t know, I think we’re just talking about using AI to make the government more efficient, which is basically just the stated policy goal at this point.

    This is particularly remarkable because - as David pointed out - being a pilot is not even one of those jobs that nobody would want to do. There is probably still an oversupply of suitable people who would pass all the screening tests and really want to become pilots. Some of them would probably even work for a relatively average salary (as many did in the past outside the big airlines). The only problem for the airlines is probably that they can no longer count on enough people being willing (and able!) to take on the high training costs themselves. Therefore airlines would have to hire somewhat less affluent candidates and pay for all their training. However, AI probably looks a lot more appealing to them…

    This has worked out so well for trains.

    As a side note, it’s inevitable that you’re going to end up explaining all of this on all of my favorite disaster-adjacent podcasts one day

      They have those … right? Gawd I hope they still have those. I’m not flying till they figure this out. Again.

        Yeah it’s called “autopilot”; named after the Tesla technology!
