The M2 money supply is ~4x higher now than in 1999. Does that indicate there is a lot more runway now, than then, at least on that metric?

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be pedantic. I was trying to make the point (which I think is in line with your point) that the fact that AI is involved here doesn't make a difference. It is a tool, but the people using the tool are (as always) responsible for the outcome.

But machines don't do things. People do things, and they use tools/machines to do those things more easily or efficiently.

> The tracked set is built from FAA registry data

So I imagine planes in other countries exist, but the US FAA doesn't have data on them.

So, if you see a 5, you are probably fine. If it gets up to 6 or 7, maybe start worrying.

But I bet if you filter for airports that business jets park at, the percentage of airports without towers is much lower than the overall average.
