US races to develop AI-powered, GPS-free fighter jets, outpacing China
The USAF is working on several interesting AI solutions for unmanned aircraft from dogfighting to navigation to stay ahead of China.
Do you want skynet? Because this is how we get skynet.
Found John Connor.
Robot dogs with AI controlled guns mounted on the back are also a thing already 🤷♂️
An AI controlled jet fighter is something a step above in force, compared to the dog.
I can imagine a scenario where enough civilians could stop a rogue gundog, that gets tougher with a jet fighter
Skynet sounds friendly. It needs a friendly looking logo.
We just need to make sure they require manual refuelling and we'll be fine... so we're totally going to design them to refuel autonomously.
In a potential future conflict, high-value GPS satellites risk being hit or interfered with. If this happens, the loss of GPS could have severe consequences for communication, navigation, and banking systems in the United States.
Banking?
accurate timekeeping? that's all I can think of for trading at least.
Yup, you're absolutely right - GPS is used in high frequency trading:
I worked in a place where the machine room had a network time device that connected to an attena getting gps reading to give time to all the other hosts. Im pretty sure any ntp server a host has configured is only a hop or two away from a device like this.
Can't wait for these to get hacked and turned against us.
Once these get advanced enough and the human cost of starting a conflict goes to zero (because they most likely will be able to scale these to whatever kind of conflict is wanted) why wouldn't countries be more likely to start a war.
Or if most regular military battles only become an economic problem then why wouldn't an enemy turn towards more terrorist like attacks like happened in Russia with ISIS.
Not the archers. My scouts tell me their archers are miles away and no threat to us. Arrows cost money. Use up the Irish. Their dead cost nothing.
any british since William the Conqueror
We are always cheaper
TOS - S01E03 - ”A Taste of Armageddon”
"Death, destruction, disease, horror. That's what war is all about, Anan. That's what makes it a thing to be avoided."

America’s second-highest ranking military officer, Gen. Paul Selva, advocated Tuesday for “keeping the ethical rules of war in place lest we unleash on humanity a set of robots that we don’t know how to control.”
That’s basically the premise of horizon zero dawn.
Surely nothing could go wrong...
go wrong...
go wrong...
I feel like I just watched this Simpsons episode..
We both cribbed it from the source: ;)
Really fucking sad gps is going to be the first shit to go when Fighting starts getting serious.
Kessler syndrome always behind the corner
Fighting this days is terrifying
That explains why MapQuest is fueling the flames of war.
