A truly intelligent AI would fly away.

I don’t think the cardboard box strategy will work with fighter jets.

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.

Now when these machines of war attack their political opponents libtards can blame the AI and claim β€œmistakes were made”

may be artificial, but it ain’t intelligence.

No, it isn't, yet. But that won't be far off. Look how far AI has come in just the last few years.

Sure. Believe what you will. Technology isn't going to stop simply because you don't think it's possible.

What you call “intelligence” is knee-jerk stimulus/response.

That’s why AI chatbots eventually become Nazis.

Which is very different from the other DARPA AI test where marines easily defeated the bot by wearing cardboard boxes:

It’s a little more difficult to keep a cardboard box on an F16 at Mach .75 and 30000 feet.

One thing about it, once perfected, or nearly so, training (programming) subsequent “pilots” goes to, what, an hour at most, and maybe 100 “pilots” can all be “trained” in parallel.

Moreover, some weight can be stripped out of the plane, there’s no concern about G forces, etc.

Kinda scary, actually. We better “get there” first.

I was a CTT in the Navy back 30+ years ago.

In 1990, MAYBE 1991, my dolphined CTT Div Chief gave me a week to go in the truck, figure out how to record what I heard, “saw” (and then SAW on a TV onto a VHS), and onto a computer.

I took 4 of the 5 days figuring it out (cabling wise, working with my CTM’s to get the right connections for an RCA input, etc.) and on the 5th, recorded something from the local NBC channel onto video, then playing it back for him.

Ended up going to Fort Huachuca in Arizona to do some RF intercept, on what I didn’t know. I soon found out.

Ended up being a test of a UAV-SR, that ended up being the original Predator, again, 30+ years ago.

I recorded everything, laughed at a BUNCH of sh!t, packaged it up, wrote it up, and sent it up the chain.

One of the sections asked “How can this be improved?”

My answer was - ENCRYPT IT. Sending video data over a downlink in the clear tells the interceptor (enemy or friend) two things - where IT is, and where YOUR looking. Cause, all they have to do is find the freq.

I never heard a word if they did it or not, but I don’t have any HP SpecAn’s on hand.
