Probably. Their software is getting worse and worse and everybody hates being pushed into AI use. The last thing they need is a global security catastrophe from Win10 users.

Well, what did I expect. Obviously you would try to defend a deeply stupid stance with a fallacy.

There is a lot of applied stupidity in software design these days. The worst is when they try to force users to use features they do not want.

Sounds like full cognitive surrender by complete morons.

It is just some really dumb people having a circle-jerk.

At this time, they do not even know whether they need to do anything about it. Your question is premature.

Yep. Grounding is done for Being-level bad, not for Airbus-level "maybe there is a problem". Also note that this is less than 10% of the A380 fleet.

Apparently, about 250 are in use. Not so rare.

Complete nonsense. This is an early safety measure which is the result of an abundance of caution. Calling this "casual insecurity" is insightless beyond belief. It is not even clear whether anything needs to be done at all, they just have found a potential problem and are looking at it.

And that the problem is not severe enough to mandate immediate inspection in all cases. Not comparable to the trash Boeing has been delivering.

There is always some personal upside for some people when technology becomes "obsolete" but remains critical. No argument about that and I am likely one of those. For example, I already have a request whether I would be interested in maintaining some FORTRAN code when I retire. (Not sure I want to, but FORTRAN is a very reasonable classical language. And I can do C or even assembler embedding if needed.)

Some expertise is both critical and rare. That said, this LLM hype is pretty bad for most people and it must eventually crash back to reality. Anybody dependent on LLMs will be in really deep trouble at that time.

Indeed. The human race is exceptionally incompetent when it comes to selecting leaders of any kind. If we do not fix that (and I do not see how it could be done), the future looks really dark.

You miss the point. LLMs are incapable of finding all the exploits for defenders they can find for attackers. And manual analysis by attackers can still find a _lot_ more that are out of LLM reach.

Says the moron to the expert.

Indeed. And these idiots are getting bolder. It is like they are proud of not understanding or knowing things and they want everybody to join their dysfunctionality.
