    The officials said they have seen no evidence that the failure was caused by a cyberattack or system failures linked to artificial intelligence, but added that they are still investigating the precise cause of the outage.

    If they don’t know the cause of the outage, how can they say $50 billion will fix it?

    They sabotaged it with the new SMART ai systems, then demanded 50B to invest into the AI bubble. They were asking for 30B just before this happened. Shit is so fucked.

    My primary concern is that this money is likely to be given out to no-bid contractors with personal ties to the administration officials handing them out.

    The upgrades are actually necessary.

    “We should talk to our senators and our members of Congress to say ‘we don’t deserve this, America,’” Duffy said. “This is the greatest country — by the way, with the greatest president — let’s give the money to fix this very real problem.”

    Under no circumstance should we allow Duffy access to any money. This guy is obviously delusional

    So… it was the new AI system and they want another excuse to hand $50B to corrupt toadies with no-bid contracts. I was ready to not blame the new system, given that it was supposed to be limited in scope, but his dodge on the question says an awful lot.
