Grifters promise us fake “AI” while our (unfortunately) critical, tech infrastructure rots. Ride a bicycle instead.

    It really feels like they’re blaming something easy to convince people, in order to hide something…

      No, I think it’s because they brought on their new AI system and it crashed their network. Not everything is a big conspiracy. They simply way overestimated the network capacity.

        But that in itself is a conspiracy theory, the AI they implemented is basically air gapped from the system that failed, it makes recommendations and that’s it

          Mine is a plain theory that’s based on the facts we have, a guess. I make no claim that I know for sure. A conspiracy theory is that there’s a secret conspiracy against us. Jumping rashly to “they’re hiding it all man there’s something going on man” is a conspiracy theory.

          Occam’s Razer. The simplest solution is pro ably the correct one. They probably overwhelmed their ancient hardware with new tech. Which happens to line up pretty well with what was said and what we know.

            The facts that are available is that AI was only implemented as part of the SMART tool. That particular tool is completely separate from the system that failed and only gives recommendations that the operator can choose to ignore.
