Do we shut them down, or fine them out of existence?
It doesn't really matter, since Skynet will have gained self-awareness and terminated us before we could make a difference...

So US management is *finally* learning that the 5-day, 40-hour workweek was not bestowed from upon high? That given a choice, many people would prefer work/life balance to higher wages? Color me unsurprised...
I don't see the problem. The data is being used only to train AI agents. I'm sure it would never be used for any other purpose, intentionally or unintentionally...
And I'm also sure that none of the employees being tracked are at risk of losing their jobs to said AI agents.

To clarify, you're claiming that "Janet Harrison", the listed author of the article linked from Startup Fortune magazine, is actually an AI? Or that the human Janet wrote the article with excessive AI assistance?
I'm not necessarily arguing, just asking for your evidence. I wouldn't have recognized the article as such.
I never got the "exercise high" and I wish I did.
Ditto.
The excerpt here says:
...a combination of technical failure involving ice in the plane's sensors and the pilots' inability to react...
So your question seems to be answered, at least in principle. "What was Airbus' fault?" Sensor issues, apparently.
Recall that faulty AOA (Angle Of Attack) sensors and/or related software have also been identified as an issue with previous Boeing crashes.
This topic always reminds me of a Dilbert strip:

I have no idea other than the contextual clues in the post.

Yes, people, just keep bringing that inexpensive, Chinese-manufactured hardware into your homes! There have never been any credible electronic threats or state-sponsored eavesdropping associated with such boxes...

"Um, guys? Why haven't we taken over the world yet?"
I sense a civil war brewing on the Left Coast! In the south, we have Los Angeles, trying to ban single-use printer cartridges. In the north, we have Hewlett Packard, headquartered in Palo Alto (halfway between San Jose and San Francisco), and the king of "Only Our Cartridges!" One of the largest metropolitan areas in the country versus one of the most established Silicon Valley originals. Who will win? (Spoiler alert: the party with more money...)
Full disclosure: After having used HP printers for decades, I recently sold my last one and vowed never again to support that company. They have become infamous for retroactively and deceitfully bricking printers via stealthy firmware upgrades that prevent the use of non-HP cartridges. "You paid for that hardware and think you own it? Well, we're going to disable it unless you obey our rules, even if they've changed since you bought it..."
Straight from the dictionary of dictators the world over:
I concur fully! This clickbait headline takes advantage of the current plethora of failures that have plagued Boeing products following years of poor upper management.
Look at the Wikipedia article on past Boeing leadership, specifically the entries covering the two decades from 1996 to 2015. If you start following links, you'll begin to see the root causes of many of the later disasters. And contrary to what you might hear from the mainstream media, the company has been turning itself around under the leadership of the CEOs hired in 2020 and 2024 respectively, who have prioritized ridding the company of the irresponsible practices and poor management that came to dominate during the "bad years."
Disclaimer: I am a retiree who did work for Boeing for a number of years, but as a mathematician and software engineer in R&D, not on production systems.
