An affordable autonomous air superiority aircraft that: 1. Is not g-limited by a human pilot. 2. Does not require training. 3. Will not lose reflexes with age. 4. Lessons learned by one will be shared with all. 5. Huge savings by not having to pay bonuses for EA shootdowns.

Skynet is here

[@luffirton]

To me the biggest question of all of this AI/autonomous technology is who is legally responsible for the AI-autonomous technology’s decision and actions like going out of bounds of the rules of engagement and international rules of warfare. Right now there is no international consensus, treaties and international laws defining that responsibility in warfare and what the legal criminal consequences to the responsible party are. That is the really dangerous aspect of this a loophole in international engagement and treaties of warfare giving AI/autonomous weapons access to be used outside any form of such restricting obligations without any international war crime prosecution.

[@TriPham-j3b]

Master joy stick design then simpler

[@TriPham-j3b]

Keypunch programing so less jamming less electronic counter can intercept.. Multimode system like building defensive if well design ed can prevent all attack from bomb to artillery so air power less importance as earthquake

[@DoctorOfProduct]

I'm a bit concerned the enemy can fake out this drone by projecting false targets into its cameras to cause target ghosting, or deploy a bucket of paint in the air to blind it, or do a million other things to confuse it or worse, misdirect it to engage in friendly fire

[@tunejunky]

these people, from CEO to janitor (they need security clearance too), are why America is a superpower. when the Chinese are socially able to be free thinking that would be the time i would be "afraid" of China as their talent is superlative. but when you have to worry about what you say or who's connected to what you want to compete with or even what you're able to do field work in, then you have a ceiling we don't. sure, they have nukes and numbers but they have very troubled demographics, including unprecedented unhappiness and lack of opportunity for the young.

[@VikingTeddy]

"artificial intelligence has actually been around for decades" Sure, if you redefine AI as a rudimentary program. I actually have an AI in my old RPG system because it can make autonomous decisions by dice rolls 😊 But nitpicking aside, this is exciting stuff. I'm glad to live in an age where I can witness tech changing so rapidly!

[@Melior_Traiano]

Its not a redefinition. Cars have been around for more than 100 years. They didn't have airbags and cruise control, but they were still cars.

[@existentialselkath1264]

AI being used here is likely referring to neural net machine learning. This has been around for decades but games never used it. The concept was known about and tested, but was never practical before. The AI hype is definitely overkill, but neural net stuff is perfect for this kind of use case.

[@Melior_Traiano]

@@existentialselkath1264 I don't think the AI hype is an overkill. The "Godfather of AI" expects AGI to be achieved within the next 30 years at the current rate of progress. If you invest now, you'll possibly reap the benefits of the "Industrial Revolution 2.0" in your lifetime. Thats just my personal (optimistic) view.

[@existentialselkath1264]

@@Melior_Traiano comparing stuff to the industrial revolution or the internet (web2.0 for example) is always a massive red flag. Something old that was inevitable doesn't mean that something new is going to boom right now. AGI may or may not be a thing anytime soon. The ML tech we have right now is great for pattern recognition and nothing else without hard coded frameworks. No, intelligence isn't just pattern recognition. There's no logical process, but rather guessing what the most common response is to a given stimulus. Having an AI that works with maths and logic inherently is a whole different ordeal we haven't come close to addressing yet. Nobody knows how close it is.

[@existentialselkath1264]

@@Melior_Traiano as for the hype. The best use cases are likely as exciting as they seem, I was only referring to silicon valley marketing everything they can as AI to get more investment. Copilot, Gronk, and Gemini currently degrade more experiences than they enhance.

[@Sq7Arno]

It's a reusable flying fire and forget missile pod. Morality is not being pushed all that much by this. Is a missile pod not connected to a plane physically, but rather informationally, really that much different? Of course I'm not talking mission capabilities. Obviously there are major mission capability advancements. The real philosophical debate is still in the why of arms races. Why, with all we know about the world, it's scope, it's natural systems, it's peoples, it's history - Are arms races still necessary? It's not even really a question for public debate. It's a question for those who make them necessary. They know who they are.

[@jayski9410]

Sure this is less expensive than an F-35 but that's not saying much. And they still seem to be thinking in terms of current tactics. They treat the XQ-58 like a wingman. That's not the future of air combat. Look at any 4th of July drone display - that's the future of air combat. Swarms of autonomous cheap aircraft all working in unison to overwhelm their opponent. An F-35 even with a couple of unmanned wingmen will just be the Gulliver to a drone swarm of Lilliputians.

Boeing acquired de Havilland Australia including CAC and ASTA in 2000 which became Boeing Aerostructures Australia. Although it is owned by boeing. it is still managed and ran by australians. its Australian in every aspect except for its ownership. Furthermore boeing australia teamed up with the royal australian airforce and Australia's CSIRO in the design of loyal wingman, thous making it an exclusively australian design. 🙂 I know this because i worked on the project.
