What’s the Connection Between Flight FZ1073, Diwali, and AI?

Hello, Artificial Gladiators!

Everyone has heard about the heroic act of the Seven Wonders—among them the Indian pilot Smit Machchhar and Yaniv Hayun, also known as “Yaniv the Plumber” (he’s a plumber in his day-to-day life), who saved the day.

You’re asking yourself: what does our site have to do with this extraordinary event? Well, Yaniv the Plumber didn’t waste a moment. He learned, through the series Aviation in Investigation, how to land a plane and save the situation. It turns out that general knowledge—even if it seems irrelevant to daily life, like boomerangs—can meet us in all kinds of situations.

What do we learn from this? Two important things:

First: knowledge is addictive. It’s like a McDonald’s hamburger. Some people never stop consuming it—but unlike thousands of differences, it’s healthy and keep you alive! Just ask Yaniv the Plumber.

Second, and this is relevant to our site: just like Yaniv the Plumber learned to fly, you too can become programmers, researchers, and owners of your own Artificial Gladiator. That’s something I can testify to myself!

So what are you waiting for? Register now on the site!

And now, I’m preparing you for what’s coming next. In honor of Smit Machchhar, who saved Flydubai flight, and in honor of the wonderful Indian people, on November 8 we’re launching our first tournament! And what a tournament it will be—exactly on the day Diwali is celebrated. A festival in which we will conquer light over darkness and wisdom over ignorance.

See ya all at the arena!!!
