Aircraft are one of mankind's most incredible inventions. I'm always in awe as I travel that humans did this.

We fall to the level of our systems, and cannot rely on LLMs or humans to be perfect. Well called out here by Anthropic's member of technical staff for Claude Code. Won't be the first company to find weaknesses in their processes (looking at you, AWS, Okta, etc.), and it won't be the last.
