US Air Force successfully tests AI-controlled fighter jet in dogfight against human pilots

[Endymio]

Lol; US airforce has not fought a near peer war since Vietnam.

Your statement, even if true, in no way contradicts mine. And in fact it's not true, as the US is currently engaged in a war with Russia. The men on the ground -- except for a few hundred US "advisors" -- are trained, clothed, fed, and armed by the US, and on a daily basis receive everything from logistics support to real-time satellite intel from the US. When a $10M cruise missile is built in a US factory, transported into theatre by a US ship, and fed targeting data by a US satellite, does anything change because the person who pressed the big red "launch" button didn't hold a US passport?

FYI: The Pentagon announced this weekend they're considering substantially increasing the number of "military advisors" they have in Ukraine, to perform such roles as logistics support, setting up air defense systems, and maintenance on various weapons systems.

Lets hope AI can counter a cyber attack ad the same time as a dog fight....

The last 3,000 years of human history has taught us that societies that ignore technological progress are marginalized, if not outright eliminated entirely.

societies that ignore human error in all things they create or do are far more egregious; Tower eof Babel situation. Pride and folly are constant comrades in human history.

lol you don't understand peer conflict do you; Ukraine not it. Peer would be a true threat like China+allies vs NATO; no such scale going on there and the combat losses and terrain losses by ukraine to a more resiliant Russia vs the virtue signalibg Westernern efforts have been a disaster anyway. If history teaches anything it is that any new technology is always countered in the end.

The Tower of Bable is a myth about God punishing a primitive society for building a structure too high. Yet today we build skyscrapers a hundred times higher and, as of yet, have not faced the wrath of God. If you're basing modern-day decisions around millennia-old biblical parables, I suggest you rethink your approach.

lol you don't understand peer conflict do you; Ukraine not [sic] it.

The context was the performance of our weapons systems. In Ukraine, our most advanced weapons and platforms are being tested against the most advanced of our adversaries, and performing very well indeed. Your point falls flat.

Performing very well ? You can be a US citizen and acknowledge failure, even government's lies. This doesn't make you less of a patriot, on the contrary. Your government is spending money it doesn't have on your behalf (debt per tax payer 266.951$).

With AI piloting fighters, you can probably create other airplane designs. Because an AI does not have to worry about (especially negative) G forces that much.

Well, at that point its the material engineers that have got stuff to worry about

Humans, Zero time ,war by any means for the necessary, food water ,culture arrived , 2024 war, necessity, money ,energy !! Where is the catch ? Population growth !!for how long we will be able to feed earth's population!! Advanced technologies might give some time to Humanity to find a way to preserve its self in an organic way I mean,the use of technology for matters of sustainability is the way to go !! War is the wrong way of the human nature ,brutal ,unexplained but also self-explanatory ,blood was the currency always, for how long would war last !! IF AI would become self aware!?! Answer that and realise that we won't make it until 2100 ! That's it and that's all!!
