China’s AI fighter jet pilots are now ‘better than humans’ and can shoot them down in dogfights.

Replying to @seyitaylor
the way to frame claims like this is “if this claim about this technology is really true, is this the place you’d really be using it?” - if you had a super adaptable fighter plane ai would you really use it for pilot training ?

fwiw DARPA already ran the same sim last year with similar results, less sensationalist headlines: https://www.darpa.mil/news-events/2020-08-07 …

Remember watching this last year with a friend that worked in military aviation— his comment was roughly: 1) the ai has no concept of “keep the craft in the air” and can fly 10x as aggressive as a result 2) can learn from day 0 to take unlimited g’s unfair fight

That was literally the first thing in the video and it struck me. If they’re not “experiencing” physical effects then their options are nearly unlimited. Also, no fear.

This is also why UFO sightings are almost certainly just UAV weapons testing. AI pilots already fly like crazy in aircraft designed for the limitations of a pilot. Imagine what aircraft natively designed for unmanned operations must be capable of.

Repeating the opinion of a smart friend: but we’ve also been artificially stagnated on what craft design looks like because any control window outside of 9g’s is useless to human pilots. If you remove that limitation, a bunch of interesting possibility opens up.
