139 - Artificial Intelligence in Military Aviation

[@therocinante3443]

Awesome, the Terminator quote right at the beginning tells me this is going to be a great one.

[@kennethkatz8278]

That was a great intro!

[@benjaminperez7328]

I just watched Laz’s MIT lecture re: F 22 vs Cessna. It’s a good thing smart dudes like him are on our side!

[@slotcarpalace]

Another superb broadcast. Your guests continue to be the cream of the crop and I learned a lot from this episode.

[@kennethkatz8278]

Thank you. Would you like to see more episodes like this (ie engineering-oriented)?

[@ibreihvr]

Awesome job on an incredibly clear and structured interview considering the complex subject! I really appreciated that you had the guest explain terms such as AI and machine learning before getting into the meat of the interview. Really liked this one!

[@kennethkatz8278]

Thanks! Great guest and a great learning experience for me.

[@GhostWarrior1738]

He has a video on YT instructing the R-22 controls. Check it out.

[@TreeBarkSide]

Excellent video as always! With the F-15EX now out, will there be a video soon to cover that as part of the F-15 series?

[@urielmanzone1772]

I guess it's too early

[@D5Pasadena]

The opening and closing sections (love the T-800 apocalypse blow by blow) bookended what was an enjoyable episode. Strength to strength! Keep up the good work, Jell-O and Ken! Laz is a very very lucky guy to be alive.

[@olavnordstoga4774]

An excellent listen as always. Always strikes me that people talking about AI are usually talking about the current very early state of AI, not the potential of AI, which might be something totally different.

[@FighterPilotPodcast]

Imagine someone in the 1940’s talking about the F-35.

[@shannono6051]

Ken asks great 'engineering' questions thanks for that! Great interview COL Gordon rocks

[@Xenomorphine]

Speaking as someone who studied AI, THANK YOU for giving a realistic and non-alarmist view on this subject, from someone who knows what they're talking about! Helps that he was charismatic enough to convey it in layman's terms, too. :) What does deserve more exposure is the Chinese Communist Party's own vastly empowered AI system. Ever wondered why Tik Tok and other such outlets were suddenly pushed in popular culture? Because they were actively using those social media outlets (and still are) to feed it with huge quantities of data. What your guest mentioned, in regards to 'trustable AI', was something the CCP didn't even bother with, to the point where it's linked into individual police, telling them who to send to concentration camps and, in some cases, executions, yet... And here's the chilling part... The technicians assigned to maintain it couldn't figure out HOW it's arriving at the decisions it does now. They went to their higher-ups with those concerns and were told to be silent and do their jobs. They even named their system 'Sky Net' without any irony. Geoffrey Cain wrote about that, last year, in his book, 'The Perfect Police State: An Undercover Odyssey Into China's Terrifying Surveillance Dystopia Of The Future'. Would be interested to see your guest invited back on to give their perspective on it.

Reminds me of the end of "Animal House" "Remain Calm! All is well!"

Sorry for your loss, best to you and your family. From a fellow Dane.

[@FighterPilotPodcast]

Tak.

[@michaelmulligan0]

Extremely interesting episode Good to hear that the US is keeping people in the loop

[@FighterPilotPodcast]

Agreed, I'm glad Col Gordon is on our side!

[@gurugo666]

Press on what Ken would like to produce.

[@Anuj-2]

Truly fascinating

[@DaveWhoa]

we are soooo far away from "artificial intelligence"... all we really have at the moment is "machine learning" which is just doing ONE thing (albeit better than a human). For example, we have Machine Learning algorithms which learned to play chess better than humans, but that's ALL it can do - it can't write an essay explaining how it works.

[@FighterPilotPodcast]

“Words matter.”

[@vasylivanchukdoesntdeserveus]

The thing is it now can, look up GPT-3.

[@DaveWhoa]

@@vasylivanchukdoesntdeserveus GPT-3 can't play chess though, all it can do is write believable-looking text. That's what I'm saying - ML algorithms only do one thing. And if you ask GPT-3 to write an essay about itself, it's not going to be very accurate unless it's been trained with multiple documents written by humans about how GPT-3 works.

[@gregeconomeier1476]

The topic can generate so many good jokes.

[@USNRaptor]

"Thank goodness that didn't happen ", yet.

[@FighterPilotPodcast]

Pessimist!

[@tacticaltoolbox7046]

Looks like DARPA is trying hard every day...

[@Pozi_Drive]

It did not happen YET

[@macedk]

First ;)

[@deantait8326]

AI is what’s helping the F-35 be lethal !
