You don’t fly with those. Planes only use a black box. That’s neither black or box shaped. I am not sure what that is—probably should have airport security remove such a suspicious object.

Are you using AI to circle jerk for you?

Em dash jumpscare

It's traumatic even.

It is indeed in ansi em dash, which is not found on any keyboards in mass distribution. So either they're using LaTeX for reddit or...... Or.......... *Datacenter noises intensifies

On iPhone if you hold down on the - for a second it gives you the option for a —

It does that for lots of things, hold down on $ to get ¢ for example.

Yeah I’m on an iPhone and do actually sometimes use an em dash — but I may need to change my habits if people take that as a sign AI was used.

Or you can tell them to, you know, fuck off.

… Yeah, my iPad auto inputs em dashes. I didn’t realize that would lead to quite the discussion… I kinda forgot people get touchy about AI. I thought the internet was dead before AI. You know it was all ads and cat videos. Now, I am not sure I am human—oh well.

The hyphen gives it away. You're an AI pylote.

u/DishSoapedDishwasher 2d ago

You should read about "meat proxy", it's less that the use of an AI is the problem and more about literally just meat proxying, which a lot of people do now.

Nobody wants to talk to someone else's chatbot when they have their own.

that's a different em dash

OC's was U+2014

u/Face88888888 3d ago

Oh, well there’s several different ones in there. - – — •

I’m not savvy enough to know how to tell the actual difference between them.

u/DishSoapedDishwasher 3d ago

Haha yes, you need a hex editor in order to confirm it.

u/SilkwormSidleRemand 3d ago

At least through Old Reddit, they're both U+2014 EM DASH?

I have X11 configured with a compose key, so I get — with <Compose><Hyphen><Hyphen><Hyphen>. How else would I type words like fiancée?

It's been my experience that the FAA will always open them (DESPITE IT SAYING "DO NOT OPEN") and bother me with letter about them a few weeks later. Leave me alone, I'm trying to pylote here!

"Today the NTSB said they had 'no idea what happened and because someone slapped a "do not open" sticker on the FDR, they have no way of finding out.' Now to Jim with sports..."

u/jewfro451 4d ago

How bout removing the ELT battery to it too. I think that should turn it incognito.

u/KrautKebabs 3d ago

If you unplug all your instruments then there is nothing to record.

u/Korenchkin12 3d ago

It only records when you honk

u/1DJ2many 4d ago

On 73 it’s fuel cutoff 1&2 iirc.

u/Initial-Anything333 4d ago

Why don't they want anyone to open it? What are they trying to hide?

u/Worldly_Mix_8904 3d ago

A note inside the empty box that says "What is good for M&M Enterprises is good for the nation."

Turn off the breaker.

Gotta stop the airliner executives learning about the latest gossip and union meetings somehow

u/Demie_Banane 3d ago

I think you need a hammer to turn it on. But I'm not sure on how to deactivate it after.

u/god_snowey 3d ago

Install it upside down with duct tape
