An AI was needed to draw a straight line? Like, map projection and curvature aside - he didn't do this himself with a map and pencil? Same revelation either way but this one was lazier.

It is amazing with how little of knowledge and intelligence one can get a CEO job.

Probably because the ones who hired him were even dumber...

This has to be satire there's no way anybody could be that stupid.

You sweet summer child.... This is still beginner stupid, we haven't even gotten close to the advanced stupidity you see in the world. Especially as seen in the white house/congress/supreme Court buildings in the US.

Yet flat earth believers exist. Never underestimate the capacity for stupidity

Yeah but if somebody actually thought that drawing a straight line on a projection map was valid, they wouldn't need AI to do so.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Most likely, this is not. There are loads of people that stupid.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Then why use AI? What's the AI done, it's a straight line, even flat earthers can think up the concept of a straight line

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

No idea where AI entered the game. It's totally unnecessary here, as everywhere else...

The earth is round and other things besides efficiency influence the decision of flight paths for example active warzones and malicious countries

would be funny to make a map projection that made the great circle a straight line.

[–] fort_burp@feddit.nl 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Kind of tangential but what is posthog (in his job description)? Is it from Chapo Trap House or something? I used to see that all the time years ago on Reddit but I guess I was always on the outside of the inside joke.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I think it was intended as a reverse of 4chan's "tits or gtfo".

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago

It's like every so often people get this "revolutionary" idea of straight flight paths.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 6 points 3 days ago

Is it because they get shot down if they do a straight line?

[–] SavinDWhales@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The direct route/line would be through the earth, though. Maybe Elon's boring company can do something about that. 😁

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

Elon should be on the first drill going into the core of the earth. A real trailblazer.

So...they managed to build an AI agent for flat-earth conspiracy?
