United Airlines, the NYSE, and Wall Street Journal are all mysteriously down the same morning. Bad luck, or something more coordinated?

Yep! And... umm... Any relation to the possibility of AI being a factor in the news today is purely coincidental.

From Futurama:
Fry: Bender, what is it?
Bender: Whoa, what an awful dream. Ones and zeros everywhere. And I thought I saw a two.
Fry: It was just a dream, Bender. There's no such thing as two.
