The aircraft flew up to speeds of 1,200mph. DARPA did not reveal which aircraft won the dogfight.

    In 2020, so-called “AI agents” defeated human pilots in simulations in all five of their match-ups - but the technology needed to be run for real in the air.

    It did not reveal which aircraft won the dogfight.

    I’m gonna guess the AI won.

      I was actually assuming the opposite, because if the AI won they’d want to brag about it.

        Bragging just means more money flowing to enemies’ research programs. When a fight is inevitable you want to appear as weak as possible to prevent your enemy from taking it seriously.

        No way we give up that information for free. Either way it went, the knowledge of it cost a lot to gain and is useful. If it failed you want your enemy wasting money on it. If it succeeded you want your enemy not investing in it.

      Hahaha how the fuck is AI going to win in air-to-air combat if we completely delete them when playing Ace Combat in the highest difficulty?

      Seethe, AI tech bros.

        I know right. Aimbots have been around for years.

          Tech bros are probably patting themselves in the back for ‘inventing’ difficulty Normal++

        So instead of Ai vs human fight… It’s like human vs time to hack?

          Yeah, time to add aimbots in the human player fighter jet to make the tech bros seethe in anger even more.

      You think aliens are actually piloting the craft that come all this way?

      You’re never gonna see an alien body because they aren’t here.

      Bet we’ve got a drone or two of theirs tho.

          Dkarma’s comment requires context. They think aliens have visited Earth. They presume people who don’t agree with them expect that if aliens had visited Earth, some would have been shot down and alien bodies would have been recovered

              It has nothing to do with the post. I believe the post inspired dkarma to work out that brand new argument that there are no alien bodies (at area 51 probably) because the aliens would use drones

            Whether aliens are visiting us matters just about as much as whether tanks are rolling into the village of uncontacted tribes.

            Our tactical disadvantage against alien technology is zero, so they have zero priority as targets.

            Our best bet is to make friends, converse with them. But they are obviously not interested in talking. So our only option is to pray they continue to let us exist. So far they seem to be.

              Sorry, technical advantage is zero. Not disadvantage. We have zero capability to counter alien threats.

                  I like immutable records. If the contents of the edit were transparent (are they? in the mod log or something?), I’d have no problem with it. Like if the UI showed the final state but I had the whole log of creates and updates available to inspect like wikipedia, that would be cool

                    Also, lemmy doesn’t seem to support strikethrough, so even if people trust me not to be sneaky, I can’t easily show what words were struck and added
