"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Who do you think supports the giant supply chains to provide them with ammunition, energy, and maintenance?
Musk tried building a fully automated factory, didn't go so well.
Also, modern warfare is about asymmetry more than overwhelming power. You just need to spend mor efficiency than your opponent to overwhelm them with things like drones.
So I see you've chosen Horizon as your future post-apocalyptic hellscape fantasy...
we're in the Megaman timeline.

I think fitgirl will crack their security in like an hour.
I honestly think that robots or whatever are just going to be vulnerable. Everything has always gotten cracked… so I would be quite wary of deploying a robot army and relying on that. One day some 15 year old boops their bop and they turn right around and now you are in trouble.
This assumes that they have radios that can be exploited. Which is the whole point of developing an AI; to remove the necessity of human intervention and simultaneously eliminating the possibility of remote hacking.
Not saying it would be impossible; you'd just have to gain physical access to the robot somehow.
That would also require sufficient computing hardware to actually run those AIs. Otherwise you have already ran a circle around it before it decides to shoot in your general direction.
So maybe see this as a high stakes gaming computer delivery program :D
Yeah and fpv drones flown by a human pilot can easily out perform "AI" so...
On a 1:1 basis, maybe. You can expect to change as more flight data is pulled in. This type of very narrowly defined problem with enough training data is where AI becomes actually useful, as opposed to the online slop generators.
The other half of the AI vs human drone story is drone swarms. Even if the humans remain better pilots, there's always going to be a limit to how many drones a single person can fly, whereas AI can just keep scaling up the quantities.
AI is bullshit, but it's dangerous bullshit.
Sure and there is always going to be a limit of how many drones are useful? Especially with the proliferation of airburst ~30mm guns mounted on helicopters and ground based vehicles? The Gepard ain't a new idea...
Pattern matching is a useful tool for war right up until the enemy evolves.
Idk if that's true. I believe autonomous drones can now beat humans in FPV racing. Ukraine now has autonomous drones that can't be jammed and function under GPS denial, so they can go further than fiber optic tethered drones.
